BONUS – Elevate Your Adventure!
Capture the Coastline at Portland Head Light & Set Sail on a Private Photo Cruise!
The Ultimate New England Bonus – Extend Your Journey for One Last Epic Day – October 10th
For those craving just one more day of creative magic (and a few final portfolio stunners), we’re offering a coastal add-on adventure designed to take your New England workshop to the next level.
Begin your morning photographing the legendary Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth — one of the most iconic and dramatic lighthouses in America — as waves crash beneath the soft morning glow. Then, spend the afternoon on an exclusive photo cruise, capturing the rugged Maine coastline and its classic harbors from a whole new perspective.
This special add-on day offers a blend of coastal charm and ocean-side drama — the perfect grand finale to your fall photography journey. You’ll come away with seascapes, lighthouse shots, and storytelling images that round out your New England portfolio beautifully.
What You’ll Capture:
Vermont Village Views – Quaint steeples, winding backroads, and small-town charm come alive in the glow of early morning light. Capture iconic scenes like Peacham and Montpelier, framed by rolling hills and fiery fall colors — the kind of images that define New England autumn.
Kettle Pond Reflections – Glassy water mirrors the surrounding forest in brilliant shades of red and gold. You’ll learn to work with still reflections, subtle ripples, and shifting light to create depth and atmosphere in your compositions.
Covered Bridges & Country Roads – From Upper Cox Brook to Albany Covered Bridge, each stop offers rustic architecture surrounded by rich color and texture. Expect leading lines, moody mist, and plenty of small-town storytelling moments.
Waterfalls & Hidden Trails – Gentle hikes bring you to cascades like Moss Glen Falls and Sabbaday Falls, where soft water flow contrasts against bold autumn tones — perfect for long exposures and creative framing.
Golden Light & Weather Drama – The Northeast is famous for its shifting skies — morning fog, glowing sunsets, and the occasional misty rain that brings out the richest color. These are the conditions that turn good photos into unforgettable ones.
And just a heads-up...
We’re heading into some of the most colorful terrain in North America — and the weather can change in minutes. Light, clouds, and color are constantly in motion, and that’s part of the magic.
We’ll do everything possible to get you to the right spot at the perfect time — but flexibility is key. We adapt, pivot, and chase the light across Vermont and New Hampshire to ensure you come home with your best fall images ever. 🍁

📷 CAMERA GEAR
✔️ Your Camera – Any DSLR, mirrorless, or high-quality camera. Full-frame sensors are excellent for capturing detail and dynamic range in fall colors.
✔️ A Tripod – Essential for long-exposure waterfalls, sunrise/sunset, and low-light forest scenes.
✔️ A Wireless Remote or Cable Release (Optional but Recommended) – Great for tack-sharp long exposures and bracketed HDR shots.
✔️ A Telephoto Lens – Minimum 70–200mm (100–400mm even better!). Ideal for isolating details, compressing layers, or capturing distant barns and ridgelines.
✔️ A Standard Lens (24–70mm recommended) – Perfect for landscapes, forests, small towns, and environmental portraits.
✔️ An Ultra-Wide Lens (14–24mm Optional) – Great for sweeping mountain roads, covered bridges, and dramatic sky shots.
✔️ ND Filters (Highly Recommended – 6–10 stop) – Essential for long-exposure waterfalls, streams, and motion-blur effects.
✔️ Polarizing Filter – Helps reduce glare on water and foliage, deepen sky tones, and enhance color saturation.
✔️ Extra Camera Batteries – Cooler mornings and long shooting days can drain batteries quickly — bring at least 2–3 spares.
✔️ Plenty of Extra Memory Cards – Fall colors and bracketed exposures fill cards fast — bring more than you think you’ll need!
✔️ Lens Cloths & Blower – Morning dew and mist are common — keep your lenses clean and fog-free.
💻 MISCELLANEOUS GEAR
✔️ Laptop with Lightroom or Photoshop (or both!) – For post-processing and nightly image reviews.
✔️ Laptop Charger & External Hard Drive – Back up your shots daily — you’ll thank yourself later!
✔️ Reusable Water Bottle – Stay hydrated while exploring.

✔️ Notebook & Pen (Optional) – Great for jotting down exposure settings, locations, and creative notes.
🧥 CLOTHING & WEATHER GEAR
✔️ Layered Clothing – Temperatures can range from 35°F to 75°F (1°C to 24°C), depending on the day. Layer up — mornings can be chilly, afternoons warm!
✔️ Waterproof Outer Layer – A good rain jacket and waterproof pants are essential — New England weather changes fast.
✔️ Light Gloves – Perfect for operating your camera in cool morning air.
✔️ Warm Hat or Beanie – Great for crisp sunrise shoots or windy ridges.
✔️ Comfortable Hiking Boots (Waterproof) – Expect leaf-covered trails, wet rocks, and uneven terrain.

✔️ Hand Warmers (Optional) – Handy for early-morning shoots or chilly photo cruises.
I accept all levels of experience in photography, but please make sure you have the gear needed; otherwise, it will be no fun for you. If you are missing a lens or an ND filter, don’t worry!
There will be no long or strenuous hiking or heavy physical exertion needed. People in their 20s-80s join us in these workshops. However, you must be able to walk up a few flights of stairs with your gear. If that is going to be a challenge, this might not be the best next workshop for you.
If you have a Non-Photographer +1, they may attend the entire workshop. But due to the high, hard costs associated with this trip, any +1 on this trip will be the same cost as a regular photographer.
If you have more questions regarding the workshop please send an email to [email protected].
The best airport to fly into for the standard New England Workshop is Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Vermont. It’s the most convenient airport to reach our starting point in Montpelier.
We’ll announce the official meeting point and hotel details as we get closer to the workshop date, once all travel logistics are finalized.
We recommend planning to arrive by the afternoon of Day 1 so you have time to get settled before the mandatory 3:00 PM welcome briefing. This gives you a chance to relax, unpack, and be fully ready before we kick off the adventure.
Feel free to arrive earlier if you’d like to explore a bit on your own — fall in New England is absolutely breathtaking!
After the workshop, you’ll depart from the same airport, Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Montpelier, UNLESS you’ve added the optional coastal extension in Maine.
✅ If you purchased the Add-On Day: you’ll fly out of Portland International Jetport (PWM) in Portland, Maine, after the final morning of the add-on experience.
The hotels are included in this trip. Details will be shared with you in the private Whatsapp group chat as we get closer to the event!
