A rush of clear water races down from the forbidden peaks of a range of misty mountains. Along the rocky banks, flashes of gold announce the arrival of autumn to the high places. Fine Art Limited Edition of 50.
Leavenworth is a city in Chelan County, Washington, United States. It is part of the Wenatchee−East Wenatchee Metropolitan Statistical Area. The entire town center is modeled on a Bavarian village.
I have offered this workshop every year now for the past 12 years. This is one of my most popular workshops of the year, often ending up with a long waiting list so don't hesitate if you would like to join me next year!
There are currently 2 spaces remaining for this workshop!
Leavenworth Workshop will be hosted in Leavenworth, WA Friday October 16th - Sunday October 18th, 2026.
I have been photographing this area during fall for the past 14 years and have taught over 50 sold out photography workshops since I began offering them back in 2010. All skill levels may join and the only fitness requirement is the ability to be on your feet for 12 hours as well as some light to moderate hiking. The area we will be covering encompasses a 20 sq mile radius outward from the town of Leavenworth, Washington.
More about Leavenworth can be found here: http://cityofleavenworth.com/ Participants from outside the Western Washington area will want to fly into Seattle (SEA) and rent a standard vehicle for the 2.5 hour drive to Leavenworth. All participants will be responsible for securing their own lodging and travel throughout the workshop, however I may be able to help those who would like to considering sharing accommodations or travel with each other. I recommend lodging at the Icicle Village Resort http://www.iciclevillage.com/ located at the west end of town. This workshop will include three days in the field non stop instruction. For those with interest in the business side of nature photography, I am happy to discuss my business, my success in the world of fine art print sales, retail photography and nature photography workshops and offer advice for those who hope to follow the same path with all of those who participate.
Tides of blazing autumn foliage rush to the river’s edge in a tranquil mountain vale. Reflected in the placid surface, the explosion of red and gold is almost too dazzling to behold. Fine Art Limited Edition of 200.
The cost of this workshop is $1500 per person.
This workshop has a total of 6 seats. Due to the planning, preparation and marketing that goes into this workshop, a non refundable 50% deposit is required to secure your space. The remaining balance will be due August 1st, 2026. In the event that you have to cancel, your deposit will only be refunded if your seat can be filled prior to the workshop. Please contact me via email to discuss this policy if you have further questions. For this reason, I highly suggest purchasing trip insurance for peace of mind in the event of an emergency.
The locations we will be visiting offer easy access, plenty of room for all of us to work and some of the best fall color the Pacific Northwest has to offer! Attendees are encouraged to arrive in Leavenworth the night before the workshop and to consider the drive time from SEA (Seattle Airport) of 2 hours 45 minutes when planning their departure.

A shallow stream weaves among the bars and banks of a halcyon glade high in the mountains. All the world is wreathed in a wild splendor as cooler days bring out the hidden colors of the trees and the undergrowth. Fine Art Limited Edition of 50.
A tangled web of skeletal branches lace together the ashen trunks of a grove of aspen near Leavenworth, Washington. Unfazed as yet by the chill of winter, the fiery hues of the autumn undergrowth bleed through a hush of fog. Fine Art Limited Edition of 100.
