Description goes here
I decided to move to the Outer Banks two decades ago because I believe it is one of the best photographic destinations in North America for nature and wildlife photography. No photographer knows this area better and I will take you to some of my favorite photo locations.

Book an Anytime Workshop.
Important Information:
In general, there are two possible Half-Day Sessions available each day…an early morning session and an afternoon session. This is to take advantage of the best possible light.
If you book the two sessions on the same calendar day, we will usually take a break during the middle of the day. However, there are occasions where we may photograph all day (taking a break for lunch). You are not charged extra if this happens…sometimes the photography is just too good to take a break.
If you would like to do a full-day session (or more), you can book both half-day sessions on the same calendar day OR you can book the afternoon session of the first day and the morning session of the following day (this is the most popular option because it gives you a nice overnight break and can help alleviate lodging cost)
You will be required to pay a deposit in the amount of 50% of the total fee
If you book more than 2 consecutive half-day sessions, any sessions beyond the first 2 will be discounted by 25%. This discount is not depicted through this booking but will be applied to your final bill and provided to you before the workshop date. You can bring your final payment with you to the workshop.
How to Book:
If you are booking for more than yourself, select additional persons to your booking (you don’t need to provide names)
Available dates appear bold in the calendar. Please note that only one session may be available on any particular day.
When you click on a date and a time, you can either continue (booking just this one half-day session) or you can add more sessions.
Once all your dates have been selected follow the prompts to continue to check out.
Shortly after registration, I will send you a link for discounted lodging.
