Policies and Waiver

Trip options

Grand Teton National Park

All daily workshops/tours are private, so the itinerary will be based on what you are interested in! Trip pricing is based on trips that begin and end in Jackson, WY. Pricing includes 1-2 guests. +$75 for each additional guest (up to 4 total guests)

Grand Teton 1/2 Day Workshop/Tour

$500

4-5 hour photo tour. You pick the time we head into the park. Sunrise, sunset, early morning after the sun is up, etc. A sunrise tour is a great option for early risers interested in capturing the first light on the Tetons, great early morning scenics, wildlife, and more. Sunset in the Tetons can be a little tricky due to the mountains being backlit for the last few hours of the day. If there are clouds or approaching storms the late afternoon option can provide some incredible photography. Sunr

Grand Teton Full Day WOrkshop/tour

$900

8-9 hour full day photo tour. Departs early morning. This is a much longer tour that gives us time to explore more of the park and photograph more extensively. On this trip we will capture sunrise, barns, wildflowers, foliage, wildlife, and much more. This tour will allow us plenty of time to see most of the park and have more time if you'd like to concentrate on wildlife photography. 


Yellowstone National Park (limited tours available)

Trips begin and end in Jackson, WY. (LIMITED OFFERINGS--please contact Cody for more information).

Yellowstone Full Day

$1100

10-12 hour full day photo tour. Departs early morning. If your trip departs from Jackson, we will try to leave just before sunrise and head north to explore the Lower Loop of Yellowstone National Park. This trip also provides a nice quick tour of Grand Teton as we make our way north to the South Entrance of Yellowstone. The photographic possibilities range from: wildlife (Bears, Bison, Elk, Pronghorn,etc), scenic, geothermal/geyser basins, waterfalls, and much more!


Arches and Canyonlands National Parks

Trips begin and end in Moab, Utah. All daily tours are private, so the itinerary will be based on what you are interested in! Please contact Cody for scheduling information as the tour season is limited to spring and fall when he is not in the Tetons.

Arches/Canyonlands/Moab area 1/2 Day

$500

5 hour photo tour. Departs early morning or mid-afternoon. We will photograph lots of things in the Moab area including: Mesa Arch, Courthouse Towers, Sand Dune Arch, Double Arch, Green River Overlook, Aztec Butte ruins/granaries, petroglyphs, wildflowers, blooming Cacti, and many other beautiful locations in the area. Most of the locations we will photograph don't require any hiking but some do--and we will cater the day to whatever you are comfortable with.
