Photo Trips

An unforgettable photography adventure

Small groups, real locations, and a mentor beside you the whole way. We shoot from first light to the last stars, then review the day’s frames together. Beginners and working pros both come home with stronger images.

Skill-building, in-person training

About

Hi, I’m Rich.

Life is short, and I believe our best lives are lived when we are an unexpected blessing to others. Pouring into other people means more to me than photography ever will.

That has looked like non-profit work in the Bahamas and giving back with local events like Night to Shine and Help-Portrait. Believing in a God bigger than me keeps me grounded and focused on giving generously.

It’s my first shoot and I’m nervous

I’ve got you. We’ll make it an experience that is completely you.

In person or online?

Both. I love teaching face to face, and I love that online lets me reach students anywhere.

Why do you always wear black?

Ask me next time you see me in person. I might tell you.
