Location planning

We adjust and custom plan each and every workshop according to light, conditions, and availability of locations/subjects. What are you hoping to photograph on this workshop? (Choose at least one).

Note: Some subjects/locations are not available year round and/or in some weather conditions. We'll plan your workshop accordingly. Group workshops might be limited to the specific theme as advertised. If everyone selects the same locations/subjects here we'll also try to incorporate it, if possible.

Go to many different kinds of places during the workshop/tour and make short stops so I can see a lot of different thingsGo to fewer places so I can spend more time exploring fewer locationsOther:

Most of Vermont is pretty rural; once we head out of major towns we won't pass many decent restaurants and your options for food can be extremely limited. This makes it necessary for us to preplan most meals.

Half-day Private Workshops:

We typically don't plan any stops for meals unless requested prior to the workshop. You're welcome to request a stop at convenience store at any time.

Full-day Private Workshops or Group Workshops longer than 4 hours:

We typically plan to stop at restaurants at appropriate times. Examples:

• If your workshop starts at or before 9am, we will include a stop for breakfast/brunch.

• If your workshop starts at or before noon and ends at or before 2pm, we will include a stop for lunch/brunch.

• If your workshop starts at or after 1pm and ends at or after 7pm, we will include a stop for dinner.

Group Workshops shorter than 4 hours:

We plan to stop at a convenience store usually about midway through the workshop but we don't plan any stops for meals.

You're also welcome to bring snacks and drinks as long as you agree to fully clean up and dispose of everything properly. (No littering!)
