The Art of Noticing
A guided outdoor experience that uses photography to help you slow down, become present, and see the world differently.
What you will practice
We'll begin...by slowing down. No rush. No pressure. We'll spend time noticing what most people overlook. You'll be invited to photograph reflections, textures, patterns, light, movement and quiet details—not because they're perfect photographs, but because they teach us to see differently.Along the way we'll talk, wander, pause, and simply pay attention.
No two experiences are exactly alike.
Who This Is For..
The Art of Noticing is for anyone who feels drawn to slow down. You don't need photography experience. You don't need an expensive camera. A phone camera is perfectly enough. You simply need a willingness to become curious again. Whether you're an experienced photographer, someone who loves nature, or someone who simply feels the pace of life has become too fast, you'll be welcomed exactly as you are.

The Art of Noticing FAQ
-
No. A camera isn't required.
A smartphone is more than enough. The purpose of the experience isn't to create perfect photographs—it's to help you slow down and notice the world more deeply. Whatever camera you have is simply the tool we use to practice paying attention.
-
Absolutely.
Many people use their phones throughout the experience. The quality of the camera isn't what matters. It's how you learn to see.
-
Yes.
No photography experience is necessary. Whether you've never picked up a camera or you've been photographing for years, the experience meets you where you are. This is about curiosity, not technical skill.
-
We continue in light rain whenever possible—it often creates some of the most beautiful moments to notice. Reflections deepen, colors become richer, and the landscape takes on a quiet character all its own. If the weather becomes severe or unsafe, we'll either move to a sheltered pavilion or reschedule for another day.
-
Of course.
Many people do. The experience is designed to be welcoming whether you come by yourself, with a partner, or with friends. In fact, coming alone often creates more space to slow down and fully immerse yourself.
-
Absolutely.
Sharing the experience with someone you care about can be wonderful. Just be sure to reserve a place for each participant, as group sizes are intentionally kept small.
-
The pace is slow and relaxed.
Most experiences involve gentle walking on easy nature trails or park paths with frequent stops to observe, photograph, and simply be present. This isn't a hike. It's an invitation to slow down.
-
Yes.
Private experiences can be tailored for individuals, couples, families, or small groups. If you're looking for something more personal or have a special occasion in mind; I'd be happy to create an experience that's designed just for you.
A Final Thought
Photography taught me something I never expected. It taught me how to pay attention. That simple practice has changed the way I experience the world, and I'd love to share it with you.
