Photography Trip
Consulting
Explore on your own terms. Practical, firsthand advice for photographers who want to plan independent trips, travel with confidence, and discover photographs of their own.
A different way of seeing
Better plans. More room for discovery.
I've spent decades traveling independently with a camera, from the Pacific Northwest to Iceland's remote Highlands and beyond. I've learned that the most rewarding trips aren't always the ones with the longest checklist of famous viewpoints. They leave room for weather, changing light, unexpected discoveries—and your own way of seeing.
“Stop chasing yesterday's photographs.
Find today's opportunity.”
Find today's opportunity.”
My consultations are for photographers who prefer to make their own journeys rather than join an organized photography tour. I help you think through locations, timing, routes, access and logistics, so that you're better prepared to respond to what you find in the field.
Destinations
Places I know firsthand
Each conversation is grounded in actual photographic travel—not a generic itinerary assembled from travel websites. Iceland is the featured destination, with planning available for other regions I've explored extensively.
Pacific Northwest & Alaska
Mount Rainier, the North Cascades, Olympic landscapes, Washington's islands and Southeast Alaska—timing, access, light and options beyond the obvious overlooks.
Banff & the Canadian Rockies
Photographic possibilities around Banff, Lake Louise, alpine lakes and mountain trails, with an emphasis on seasonal conditions, realistic logistics and quieter opportunities.
Dolomites & other destinations
Thoughtful planning for photographic journeys in the Italian Dolomites and select other places I've photographed. Ask about a destination and I'll be clear about the depth of my experience there.
Regional advice is tailored to your dates, ability, equipment, and travel style. Access, regulations and conditions should always be verified close to departure.
What we can work through
Practical guidance, not a packaged tour
01
Where & when
Potential locations, seasonal light, weather patterns, crowd considerations, and how to build an itinerary with alternatives.

Getting there
Driving routes, vehicle choices, accommodations, trail or road access, and realistic travel time between photography opportunities.
03
Seeing differently
How to make room for changing conditions, recognize unexpected compositions, and avoid spending a whole trip reproducing familiar images.
How it works
One conversation to start
Tell me where you're thinking of going, roughly when, and what kind of photography you enjoy. We can begin with a private remote consultation, then decide whether further itinerary review would be useful.
The advice is personalized. You remain in charge of your travel plans, reservations and decisions in the field.
Initial consultation
Typically a 60-minute one-to-one conversation by video or phone. I'll confirm the scope, rate and scheduling with you before booking—no automatic purchase or subscription.
Good fit forIndependent photographers, couples or small travel parties who value local knowledge but don't want an organized group tour.
Start a conversation
Where would you like to go?
Send a few details. I'll reply personally about whether I can help, what the consultation would cover, and the price before you commit.
