Evie is a Colorado-based photographer drawn to the quiet corners of the wild, dark skies, and remote basins. She teaches because she believes the wild side of our planet isn't something to fear but something to embrace. Every workshop is built around slowing down, seeing intentionally, and coming home with images that reflect the feeling of being there.
Landscape, wildlife, and night sky photography made the old fashioned way – in the field with a camera in hand. No AI, no composites. Just real light, real place, real patience from the field and finished in a digital darkroom.
*Some images blend multiple exposures of the same scene, same moment. Traditional craft, nothing added.

Multi-day field workshops for photographers who want to go deeper into the wild. Small groups travel by 4x4 or horseback into locations most workshops can't reach, tent camping some nights and base-camp hotels on others.
Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable if you join.

Roughly 80% of North Americans can no longer see the Milky Way from where they live.
There are still places where the Milky Way arches from horizon to horizon, bright enough to cast a shadow. This is a guide to finding them, planning the shoot, and dialing in the settings that turn a dark night into a keeper frame.
