About our Photography Workshops and Photography Tours
Held on request, our completely customizable workshops, and tours are perfect for those who want one on one photography instruction while being guided to the best landscape photography locations at Thanksgiving Ranch. We’ll work with you to get the best photography locations while either learning the basics or sharpening their landscape and wildlife photography skills. We’ll keep our tours small so you'll have plenty of time to hone your camera skills. You can see some of the stunning images captured at the Ranch here.
Together, we’ll venture out to our 3,000-acre photography ‘studio’ and shoot magical images capturing the nearby Rocky Mountains, our incredible dark skies, ranch life, wildlife, and the stunning beauty of a continuously changing backdrop. At your request, we can also help you edit and compose your photos with a second session covering composition and photofinishing techniques.
We want you to gain confidence with your photos and these sessions will complement your stay at the Ranch and chronicle your adventures. We offer sunrise, sunset, night time, and afternoon photography tours.
