Lodging & Meals
Lodging and meals are not included. I’d suggest staying on the Strip as we’ll be ending our weekend there. We’ll also have the Meet & Greet there Friday evening.
Another alternative is to stay in the city of Overton Friday night and you will be only 20 min away from Valley of Fire for our first session, but you will need to provide your own transportation.
Transportation
Transportation is included during the workshop to Valley of Fire and back to the meeting spot on the Strip. All other needs are your responsibility.
Safety is Important
It’s important to be aware of your surroundings as there can be wildlife and the terrain is uneven. It will make for a positive experience at the workshop.
Temperatures will vary. The terrain is rocky and parts are sandy. If you have any medical concerns, please seek your physician’s professional advice.
Stay hydrated even before you arrive for the workshop. Water will be provided at the workshop.
Arrive Early
Our shoot starts at 6AM but with travel time and set up for our first shot, we will need to leave at 4:30AM from The Strip in Las Vegas.
Come Ready!
Make sure you read the entire page and ask any questions you may have. Come to the workshop ready to learn, develop your skills and have a great time!

Space is limited and once you purchase the workshop, your spot is reserved. Refunds will be honored up to 30 days leading to the workshop.
