WildLiz Workshops

I’m more than a photographer. I have two decades experience leading and teaching adults in the outdoors — everything from nature photography to wilderness survival skills to backpacking & hikes in our National Parks for organizations like Sierra Club, REI, and Nature Forward. In addition, I’m a Maryland Master Naturalist. You can expect excellence, knowledge, and outdoor experience in my workshops and more than a point & shoot endeavor. I have something to offer everyone, beginner to advanced. I’ll wake up your senses, understanding, and curiosity about places, pictures, and conservation. Join me for a workshop!

  • Creative Photography Workshop: TBA

    Your camera has wide creative potential - like the ability to layer individual exposures on top of each other (like in the image below), creating movement and texture through the movement of the camera, well as shooting without the lens attached, in a technique known as free lensing), and the ability to create panoramic images that stretch the imagination. These techniques can lead to brilliant abstract and creative images. Dates & details for 2025 TBA.
