Point Reyes & West Marin County in Spring

Capture the Beauty of Point Reyes in Spring

Sunday, April 19th, 2026  1:30 PM – 8:00 PM

Join us for a fun afternoon of photography as spring transforms Point Reyes National Seashore into a vibrant, ever-changing landscape. Rolling hills turn lush green, wildflowers bloom, and the skies shift between crisp blue and moody coastal fog.

The weather is unpredictable, but the sunsets can be spectacular, with clouds catching brilliant hues over the Pacific. Tule elk roam the meadows, harbor seals bask on secluded beaches, and migratory birds fill the air with sound.

This small-group workshop is your chance to capture the region’s raw beauty while refining your photography skills in a supportive, hands-on environment. We’ll explore inspiring locations, from the iconic cypress tree tunnel to the historic barns of Pierce Point Ranch, with plenty of opportunities to shoot rugged coastlines, dramatic cliffs, and textured grasslands in stunning light.
