Louisiana Cypress Swamp Photography Tours 2026 Updates

Announcing Fall 2026 Tours + Spring 2026 Openings

Cypress from 2025 December Tour

The Louisiana cypress swamp photography tours for Fall 2026 are now officially open, and I’m pleased to share that all three Spring 2026 tours also have availability again, thanks to the expanded boat capacity. For the first time in a long while, I can now host up to five photographers on both Fall and Spring tours—without crowding or compromising shooting space.

Also, space is available for the Spring 2026 Tours as well.

This increased capacity gives everyone more freedom to work compositions, shift position as the light changes, and really settle into photographing these quiet, old-growth cypress environments.

• November 30–December 3, 2026

Fall is peak season for foggy mornings, rust-colored cypress foliage, and calm water that produces beautiful reflections. These tours take place in remote locations that remain quiet and largely untouched by other groups.

Small Groups, More Space, Better Angles

I’m using another tour operator, and his boat layout allows every photographer comfortable shooting room from either side, clear communication, and better positioning for stronger compositions. This improved setup applies to both Fall and Spring tours going forward.

If Fall fog and reflections—or Spring bird photography—are on your 2026 list, I’d love to have you join me.
