July 2026 Newsletter: Fall Tour Openings & Updates

Summer is moving quickly, and I wanted to share a few updates about upcoming photography tours and a new article on my website.

Fall Tour Openings

Mist in the Cypress

Two Openings Available on the November 30 – December 3 Cypress Swamp Photography Tour

Due to a recent schedule change, two spaces have become available on my November 30 – December 3, 2026 Cypress Swamp Photography Tour.

While the peak fall color has usually passed by early December, this time of year often provides the best opportunities for fog and mist. Many of my favorite cypress swamp photographs have been made during these quiet mornings when layers of fog drift through the trees, creating beautiful light and a peaceful atmosphere that is difficult to find at other times of the year.

If you’ve been considering joining us this fall, I’d love to have you along.

Spring 2027 Tours Are Filling

Reservations continue to come in for the 2027 spring workshops, and two of the tours are already nearing capacity.

* April 18–21, 2027 – 2 spaces remaining

* June 6–9, 2027 – 2 spaces remaining

Each spring tour is scheduled to coincide with a different stage of the nesting season, providing opportunities to photograph everything from courtship displays and nest building to chicks as they grow and prepare to fledge.

If you’re thinking about photographing Louisiana’s spectacular bird rookeries next spring, I encourage you to reserve your space while openings are still available.

New on the Blog – Alligators in Bird Rookeries

Alligor with Chick

One of the most fascinating aspects of photographing Louisiana’s swamps is watching the complex relationships between the wildlife that lives there.

My newest blog article explores the role alligators play in bird rookeries and includes several short videos captured during a recent visit. It’s a fascinating reminder that nature is rarely as simple as it first appears.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read the article and watch the videos.

Thank you for following my photography and for your continued support. I hope to see many of you in the swamps this fall or next spring.
