Wildlife Photo Tours That Teach You More Than Just the Shot

If you’ve ever dreamed of photographing wildlife in a way that feels meaningful, skilled, and entirely your own, then these tours are for you.

When you join me on one of my multi-day photography tours, you’re not just getting access to breathtaking landscapes or incredible wildlife sightings (though you’ll definitely get those). You’re getting a mentor by your side—someone who understands how adults learn, who knows how to adapt on the fly, and who genuinely cares about your success behind the lens.

I’m not here to impress you with my photos, nor will I be standing beside you, taking photos. I will be standing behind you, guiding you. I’m here to help you take the ones you’ve always wanted to create.

Whether you’re figuring out how to see light differently, struggling with composition, or finally ready to stop guessing at your camera settings, I’ll meet you where you’re at, with clear, compassionate, and practical guidance that’s rooted in more than 30 years of teaching experience.

These tours are designed to be comfortable, accessible, and inclusive, no hiking for miles with heavy gear, no group sizes that leave you feeling lost in the shuffle. I keep it small, focused, and tailored to your growth.

And because I believe photography is about more than just pretty pictures, we’ll also dive into the why behind the image, talking about ethical field practices, conservation, and how to tell a story that resonates beyond social media.

You’ll leave with:

• A deeper understanding of light, wildlife behaviour, and composition
• New confidence in your technical and creative decisions
• Stunning images you’re proud of and the skills to keep improving
• A clearer sense of your personal photographic voice
• A connection to nature that runs deeper than before

You’re in good hands.

Clients have called me one of the most generous and patient teachers they’ve ever had. And I don’t take that lightly.

“Donna, your dedication to creating unique experiences and providing personal attention is truly inspiring. You're an incredible photographer and instructor!”- Monica
