Daily hands-on instruction during extended field sessions


If there's one place that holds a special place in my heart, it's the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. So, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be teaching at the Out of the Great Smoky Mountains Conference this spring with an incredible team of instructors!

Out of Chicago conferences are truly unique—bringing together so many passionate photographers creates an atmosphere unlike any other. Add the magic of waterfalls, wildflowers, and wildlife, with fog rolling over the hills and through the coves, and it’s an experience that leaves me in awe each day.

In addition to the field sessions, we’ll be gathering daily at Little Arrow Outdoor Resort, right at the park’s entrance for classes, table talks, group meals, and campfires. It’s the perfect spot to feel at home in nature, whether you choose to stay in a tiny home, cabin, or a glamping setup. Prefer hotel accommodations? The Tremont Hotel is just five minutes away.

Accommodations at Little Arrow are in high demand and almost sold out, so if you want to join us, register ASAP!
