Travel Photography Workshop at John C. Campbell Folk School - June 2025
This summer, I will return to the John C. Campbell Folk School, June 8th-14th, 2025 to teach, Wanderlust: The Art of Travel Photography. This workshop is for the advanced beginner to the intermediate DSLR or Mirrorless camera photographer, although all levels are welcome. Be sure to take a look at student work from the summer 2024 workshop HERE on my blog.
Also please feel free to read my interview with Cory Marie Podielski on the folk school's blog from several years back HERE. It's a Q&A for potential students and others to learn a little more about my journey in photography. It is ever evolving!
If you've been to the folk school, you know how special it is. If you have yet to visit, you need to! Or better yet take a workshop, so you can find out how special it is. They offer such a variety of really interesting choices of workshops and not just photography, although I'm biased!
Details and registration can be found HERE.
View the current online catalogue HERE.
Please visit my blog to see student work from previous workshops at John C. Campbell Folk School, Reynolda Gardens, Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden, & Highland Arts Academy - their work is not to be missed & I hope that YOU are inspired to take a workshop with me!

PRIVATE LESSONS, GROUP WORKSHOPS, & MENTORING
PRIVATE LESSONS OR GROUP WORKSHOPS - Private lessons to individuals are available as well as workshops to smaller groups or clubs. Although I have taught a zoom class before (and would do it again), I find that you learn more in-person.
MENTORING - Please reach out if you'd like to learn more. I have mentored several high school and college students & young adults over the years. I love to teach, offer guidance, and be a great role model to those who are truly serious about photography and what it takes to run a business. With over 34 years in business, I'm a trusted professional.
Please reach out to me HERE for additional information, fees, and scheduling.
