Happy July 4th!
Wow, can you believe it is actually July? I am having a staycation this July 4th. It's nice to unplug and get some things done. I truly hope you are wiggling your toes in the sand right now or visiting some amazing exotic place.
Things will crank up for me soon and will be nonstop through November. Trust me, I am really enjoying this downtime, lol!
All 2027 Workshops are up and ready to go, and I've got some amazing new offerings planned for next Winter and Spring. Be sure to check out the new 6 day Workshops. I am excited to add an extra day and a second location to these Workshops. It's amazing what an extra day can do isn't it? Time to breathe, relax, and take it all in, not to mention the extra shoot day!
Currently, a few spots have reappeared in the previously sold out 2026 Workshops. I was happy to get these folks situated in another Workshop, but I need to fill these new openings.
Let's do something for the 4th and have some special offerings.
Check them out below!

Roan Highlands Wildflowers and Astrophotography Workshop Campout
Here's one for the adventurous type! A three-day excursion along the Appalachian Trail into some of the darkest skies we have to offer. By day, we will see Sunrises and Sunsets from 6000' among the late-season wildflowers, grassy balds, and sweeping vistas. By night, we will be capturing all aspects of the night sky.
3 full days and nights that include all of the shooting you can stand, relaxing by the campfire, wildlife, wildflowers, 360-degree views, and the entire night sky!
This year, in the very early Spring, I spent a little personal time out West, and here are just a few images from that trip. It was great fun getting back to basics. I camped for 5 days and did lots of solo trips out where I could just let go and wander through the forest. I had the little lady with me on a part of it, and it was awesome!
Thanks to all of you for making this little dream of mine come true. These side trips I take between Workshops are always with you in mind to find and log new amazing things and places to see!!
I hope you enjoy them!
Considering a Private Tour?
You totally should! From mastering manual settings to learning how to create depth, emotion, and drama in your images, these workshops are all about unlocking your potential as a landscape photographer and having loads of fun doing it. Whether you're looking to build a stronger portfolio, expand your print sales, prepare for an exhibition, or simply grow your own creativity, I’ll meet you where you are and help point the way forward so you can avoid spending unnecessary time figuring it all out.
We'll see what you want to see, and better yet, we will travel at your own pace. You will learn what YOU want to learn. A day is usually a great combination of beautiful locations with some editing mixed in. I'll drive us around so you can relax, sightsee and plan your next shoot. Call it a photography vacation of sorts without the pressures of keeping up with the Workshop pace.
It's an amazing experience and my area of the highest growth. You can easily see why!

This made me laugh! While in Oregon this year, one of my clients rolled out the quote, "I saw the light with Tommy White!" Thanks to Austin for this awesome quote! We both laughed out loud. He followed by saying there were numerous ways we could spin that, and we spent the next two days rolling out every version we could think of. There were many, and we both laughed until our ribs hurt. The truth of it is, we did see the light, good light. No, great light! And we had a blast doing it. But...
