I just scheduled one more Beginner Milky Way Workshop this year at the Buffalo National River on August 15th!

If you've been wanting to learn how to photograph the Milky Way but weren't able to snag a spot earlier in the season, this is your chance.

We'll be taking advantage of one of Arkansas' greatest treasures...our very own International Dark Sky Park, during Dark Sky Week.

This workshop sells out every year and is designed specifically for beginners. We'll cover camera settings, composition, focusing in the dark, planning your shoots, and everything you need to start capturing the Milky Way.

I'd love to have you join us under the stars. Check out the link in the comments for more info.

P.S. The previous dates filled quickly, and this will be the last Beginner Milky Way Workshop of the season.

A last-minute spot just opened up for my Astro Masterclass in the Buffalo River and Arkansas Ozarks! This is one of my most comprehensive night photography workshops, designed for photographers who want to take their Milky Way images and nightscapes to the next level.

What's included:
* In-field instruction under some of Arkansas' darkest skies
* Lodging
* All meals
* Editing course
* Portfolio review
* Sunset and Milky Way shooting opportunities

We'll spend the weekend chasing starlight, capturing iconic Ozark landscapes, diving into editing techniques, and helping you build a stronger portfolio along the way.

Galaxies of the Gods 2 wraps up tonight, and is has been an incredible week!

One of the highlights was spending time with our dear friend, Wehyde Yellowman, who graciously shared a glimpse into his world and rich culture. Experiences like these remind me that these adventures are about connection, perspective, and gaining a deeper appreciation for the places we visit.

I’m grateful our group had the opportunity to learn from him and experience the land through a different lens. Canon USA

After 7 years of trying, I finally got the photo I came for!

Some locations really make you earn it...

My first trip to southern New Mexico was canceled a week before departure when COVID shut everything down. My Airbnb reservations were canceled, and so was my permit for White Sands.

The second attempt included a military jet that crashed into the dunes, closing the area.

The third trip was derailed by a wildfire. I wasn't even sure this old fire tower would survive.

The fourth time, I made it up the mountain only to be greeted by a dust storm.

So after years of setbacks, canceled plans, and a little bad luck, the fifth time was finally the charm. Sometimes the photos that mean the most are the ones that make you try until the stars finally align.

The Intentional Artist book represents years of lessons, mistakes made, and business adventures along the way. It’s available on Amazon, and every purchase helps me continue creating educational resources for photographers and artists who want to build a meaningful creative life.

If it has encouraged you, taught you something, or helped you see your creative journey differently, I’d love to hear your feedback on Amazon. Your review could help another artist decide if this book works for them. And if you haven’t grabbed a copy yet, I’d love to welcome you to the adventure! Check out the link in my bio…

Bisti, and Shiprock, and Chaco, Oh my! New Mexico Nightscapes was another year of very little sleep mixed with a whole lot of ferality and surreality.

If you've never experienced the true darkness of the Bisti Badlands, put it on your to do list! The moonscape formations mixed with the stellar skies makes for some interesting astrolandscapes.

Shiprock has a special energy that can only be felt from being there. It towers over you with a mighty presence, yet is so elegantly placed with the Milky Way core. This place commands respect and admiration.

Chaco Culture National Historical Park is another favorite place in Northwest New Mexico that has a special energy and such rich history. Getting to wander the ruins after hours with no one else around really feels like stepping back in time over 1,000 years. Laying under the stars, you can almost picture what life must’ve been like when more than 6,000 people who called this place home, moving through the structures and thriving for centuries on agriculture and trade.

I've already rescheduled it again for 2027...link in the comments for more info...

The last star tracking workshop filled up way too fast, and a bunch of you missed getting a spot… so I'm running it again.

Join me Memorial Weekend at the Buffalo River for another round of chasing the Milky Way and learning how to track the stars like a pro. We’ll be out under some of the darkest skies in the state, dialing in astro trackers and capturing those clean, low-ISO stellar shots, and playing with creative filters too!

Bortle 1 skies in every direction. Desert wildflowers blooming. Red dirt that sticks to everything you own. It's heaven on earth.

There's a reason I scheduled two workshops here this year...because once you experience the Valley, you never forget it. It sticks to you, just like the red dirt.

Who's coming with me in June?

Sometimes the best moments on a road trip come from a last-minute swerve. On my way out home from Vegas, I decided to veer off to Southeast Utah and do a little impromptu scouting for some upcoming workshops… and it was the best decision ever.

The desert floor was alive with scorpionweed adding these wild pops of color, and as if that wasn’t enough, a handful of hot air balloons drifted through the valley while I was drinking my coffee the next morning. Totally surreal.

I've learned to expect the unexpected in the desert. This stop ended up being very fruitful.

I still have spots left for the June event if you want to join us! Check out the link in the comments for more information...

Doing something a little differently and stepping in front of the camera, during the daytime 🧛‍♀️

There's something about the Arizona stretch of Route 66 that feeels like you stepped straight into the 60s. It's a total vibe. So I leaned into it full force and gave these edits a vintage style to match.
