Galapagos Islands

Come to the Galapagos Islands with Me

Galapagos | October 2027

​

What if your next trip wasn’t simply about seeing a new place—but learning to experience and photograph it differently?

​

In October 2027, I’m traveling to the Galapagos Islands, and I’m inviting a small number of people to come with me.

​

This is not a traditional photography workshop. There will be no classroom sessions, scheduled lessons or pressure to come home with perfect photographs. Instead, I’ll be photographing alongside you—asking questions, offering suggestions and helping you notice the moments, details and stories that can easily be overlooked.

​

You can bring a camera or simply use your phone. You don’t need technical experience. You only need a sense of curiosity and a willingness to slow down, look again and experience all the Galapagos Islands have to offer.​​​

​

An Adventure Above and Below the Water

​

Snorkel in waters where sea turtles, playful sea lions, rays and colorful fish may share your swim. Walk among giant tortoises, spot marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies, and climb to sweeping views of volcanic islands and turquoise bays. And one wildlife highlight I’m especially excited about? The chance to see Galápagos penguins!

​

Our 10-day adventure combines guided island excursions with time to wander beautiful beaches, explore Puerto Ayora or add an optional kayak outing through the mangroves.

 

Bring your camera, your curiosity and your sense of adventure—there’s so much here to notice.

A Few of the Experiences Along the Way

  • Explore giant tortoises in Santa Cruz highlands

  • Snorkel with sea life around Santa Cruz Island

  • Discover Tortuga Bay and Charles Darwin Station

  • Relax on the serene Garrapatero Beach

  • Journey to Isabela Island's volcanic landscapes

What Does “Travel With Me” Mean?

 

I won’t be standing at the front of the group teaching formal lessons. I’ll be right there experiencing Vietnam with you.

​

As we explore, I may encourage you to change your perspective, stay with a moment a little longer or look beyond the most obvious photograph. I’ll help you think about the story of a place and notice the people, colors, details and quiet moments that give it character.

​

Sometimes that may mean helping you find a stronger composition. Sometimes it may be a question that helps you see something differently. And sometimes it may mean reminding you to put the camera down and simply be there.

​

The photography guidance will happen naturally; in the places and moments we encounter along the way.

You’ll Also Receive

Everyone traveling with me will receive:

  • A copy of my book, Photograph What It Feels Like: A Mindful Guide to Travel Photography

  • A specially created travel and photography journal to use before, during and after the trip

  • Informal photography guidance and encouragement throughout our time in the Galapagos

Is This Trip for You?

This experience may be a good fit if you:

  • Love to travel and want to experience a place more deeply.

  • Want to take more meaningful photographs without getting lost in technical instruction.

  • Enjoy learning through conversation, observation and experience.

  • Are comfortable traveling as part of a small group.

  • Are curious about the people, food, culture and everyday life of a place.

  • Want to come home with more than a collection of sightseeing photographs.

 

You do not need an expensive camera—or even consider yourself a photographer. Phone and camera users of every experience level are welcome.

Interested in Joining Me?

The trip is planned for October 2027 and space will be limited.

​

If the Galapagos Islands are on your list—or if this sounds like the way you would like to experience it—request the complete trip information, including dates, itinerary, pricing, accommodations and booking details.

​

Requesting information does not obligate you to book. It simply lets me know you would like to learn more.
