Guided Astrophotography Hikes & Workshop announcement!
Summit to the Stars: A Guided Backpacking & Astrophotography Adventure
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought, "I wish I could capture this?" Now’s your chance. I’m beyond excited to announce that I’ll be teaming up with Shelby and Ground Up Adventures to help lead our Summit to the Stars guided astrophotography hikes this spring and summer! We also have other workshops and guided hikes coming online including a one-night astro hike and a night hike workshop.
For a while now, I’ve wanted to break into the photography workshop space — not just because I love photography, but because I know firsthand how impactful these experiences can be. The workshops I’ve attended in the past have been game changers — from learning new techniques to connecting with other creatives in the field, they’ve helped me grow in ways that simply watching tutorials never could. That’s exactly what I want to create for you.
Our Summit to the Stars trip is designed to take the guesswork out of planning, provide you with all the gear you need, and give you hands-on guidance to help you capture the Milky Way like never before.
We’ll Take Care of the Details — You Focus on the Experience
✔️ Route planning and location scouting — no stressing over maps or trail logistics
✔️ All backpacking gear provided — tents, sleeping bags, and all the essentials (just bring your own camera gear! Or you can rent a kit from us)
✔️ Meals included — from trail snacks to dinner under the stars.
Why This Experience is Unique
This isn’t just about taking photos — it’s about learning, connecting with nature, and gaining real-world experience in the field.

📸 Two experienced outdoor photographers with 10 years of astrophotography experience to guide you through camera settings, composition, and shooting techniques
🛠️ A mini workshop on how to plan, shoot, and capture the Milky Way, giving you the skills to confidently shoot astrophotography on your own
Beyond the technical skills, there’s something truly special about spending a night in the backcountry with a group of like-minded adventurers. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced photographer, you’ll leave this trip feeling inspired, motivated, and equipped with new skills to elevate your craft.
