INTO GLACIER WE GO
I am heading back to the mountains to teach a 4 day female photography workshop at Glacier National Park. Glacier National Park is known as the “Crown of the Continent”, one visit to the park and you will see how the park earned that name.

Join me for what is to be truly the adventure of a lifetime!

Testimonials
Don’t just listen to us. Here are what women say about the experience!
Definitely very highly recommend!
This was my first workshop, and I went into it not knowing what to really expect. I hoped to learn and be challenged. I certainly was. Both Kristen and Beth took time to cater instruction to every person and every level. I went away from each location with new ideas from both of them. What I really didn’t expect was to make such meaningful connections to them and to the other ladies in the class. Putting myself out there and trying new things created an instant bond with these other women who were willing to do the same. I came away from this workshop with new friends, wonderful images, and a new motivation and inspiration I haven’t felt in my photography for a long time. Definitely very highly recommend!
I still dream about Glacier National Park and long to go back every day!
Magic. That’s what happens when you take a group of ladies who want to grow as photographers and artists get together! And when you are led by two incredible photographers such as Beth and Kristen it becomes reality. For me, I learn so much more than just camera settings. I have learned to stop and smell the roses, as the saying goes. Beth and Kristen took us to fabulous locations and gave us opportunities to shoot at various times of day as well. With all of the guesswork of when and where to go taken care of, all I had left to do was get creative! I want to be a better photographer and I couldn’t have asked for better teachers in Beth and Kristen! I left Glacier with her images of beauty in my camera and in my mind forever as well as a wonderful connection with a group of ladies that will be lifelong friends! Because of this workshop, I still dream about Glacier National Park and long to go back every day!
Exceeded my expectations!
The Glacier Photography Workshop with Beth & Kristen far exceeded my expectations! We were guided to so many amazing locations while Beth & Kristen helped to push our creativity and skill to the next level! This workshop changed me in so many wonderful ways beyond photography, and introduced me to new life-long friends. I highly recommend the Glacier workshop (or any workshop) with these 2 amazing mentors!
I have memories and images to last a lifetime!
I had the pleasure of attending the Glacier National Park workshop with Kristen and Beth this past July. This park holds a very special place in my heart as I have been coming here almost every year with my family for the last 17 years. But I never really had the chance to capture the majesty of the park on family excursions. This was four days to focus on nothing but capturing the beauty of Glacier National Park with a group of women who were equally as excited about photography as me. It was a workshop jam packed with a variety of locations, weather conditions, lots of laughs and not much sleep. But sleep is low of my list of priorities when I am at a workshop. Kristen and Beth were fantastic leaders. They both spent a lot of time encouraging us and making sure that all of the participants felt comfortable. They worked individually with anyone who wanted help. Beth and Kristen encouraged us to capture the park from different perspectives. Most people think of just grand landscapes in a place like this. But we learned to see it through intimate scenes and abstract ways using camera movement. I have memories and images to last a lifetime from this workshop!
Such a great experience!
It was such a great experience! The locations we went to were well researched and it was so nice to not have to worry about where to go, what time, location of sun for time of year, parking etc. I took new skills away and would love to join another trip with either instructor 🙂
Bucket list adventure!
The photography workshop led by Kristen Ryan and Beth Mancuso in Glacier National Park is a one of a kind magical experience. Beth and Kristen are hands on, supportive instructors, and guides. The planned sunrise, daytime hikes, and sunset locations were perfect to capture the beautiful landscape. It was an bucket list adventure for me and spending it with a group of ladies with similiar interest made it even more special.
So glad I took the leap!
I am a true hobbyist when it comes to my photography and have never gone to any type of retreat like this before. I am so glad I took the leap for the Glacier retreat. Beth and Kristen are not only amazing instructors but also great people who take a personal interest in everyone. They each have a different style of photography and their own individual way of teaching but it works so well as they complement each other. They planned out all the locations to offer different settings as well as perfectly timing the schedule to maximize the day. It was my second time at Glacier and I saw so much more that I had never seen before. Whatever your ability level, the opportunities to learn from two great photographers and to meet other like-minded women provided through this environment are amazing.
Lucky is the woman who attends a workshop!
I had the opportunity to attend a photography workshop held in Glacier National Park last summer led by Beth Mancuso and Kristen Ryan. Glacier is a park I’ve been planning to explore, and what better way than with a group of like-minded women who are as interested in photography as I am? Communication from Beth and Kristen was immediate as soon as I registered and it continued throughout the workshop. Every detail of the workshop was well planned and executed. Photography help, inspiration, and encouragement was always offered and given generously. This workshop was a fabulous, fun bonding experience with women from all over the US. I came away with so many wonderful images, new friends, and confidence to move forward with my own photography on many levels. Lucky is the woman who attends a workshop offered by Beth and Kristen. You will come away with so much more than fabulous photos.
