Last week I asked in my Instagram story what people struggled with in their work, and the response was overwhelmingly based around confidence and doubt.

So I wrote about it. Check out the blog post here.

You don't suck. You're just stuck. A photographer's guide to creative confidence, meaningful photography, and finding your photographic voice.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve spent years developing your technical skills in photography—exploring the world through your lens, refining your methods, building workflows, and becoming fluent with your camera and editing process.

But… what’s next?

If you want to keep growing, where do you turn once you’re confident in your ability to make beautiful photographs? What do you do when the process starts to feel repetitive—when you catch yourself going through the motions and begin to lose that spark of creative invigoration?

For me, the answer is inward.

Enter the Creative Exploration Workshop—a one-of-a-kind experience designed to help you reconnect with your motivations for making photographs and develop the tools to tell your personal story through your art.

Spend five days camped in a target-rich, fairy tale forest beside a glacial river, fully detached from the distractions of everyday life, enabling you to slow down and become a part of the landscape instead of a visitor.

No hotels. No rushing from one location to the next without a chance to truly connect. No early mornings or late nights. Just you and your soul in a beautiful location.

Immerse yourself in an uninterrupted creative mindset as you work through guided exercises designed to help you connect with, understand, and express your inner artist.

There’s no other workshopop quite like this. You can learn technical skills from any number of great instructors—but this workshop offers something rare: the opportunity to journey inward and learn how to create from a place of deep authenticity.

Join me in Olympic National Park for the Creative Exploration Workshop, June 11–15, 2025.
