Wildlife Photography Workshops from Algonquin to Africa
Build confidence with your camera through hands-on wildlife and landscape photography with Jesse and Susan. Choose a private workshop or a small-group adventure, with friendly guidance and room to learn at your own pace.
Confidence in the Field
You've invested in a good camera. You've watched the tutorials. You've read the blogs. But when a moose steps out of the forest at golden hour, your heart races, your hands shake, and the shot is gone before you ever felt ready.
That moment of missing it hurts more than people talk about. Because it wasn't just a photo. It was a feeling you wanted to hold onto.
We want to help create that confidence in the field.
We Photograph Wildlife. We Also Help Protect It.
Follow Me North was built on the belief that wildlife photography and wildlife conservation belong together. You can’t spend years witnessing the magic in Algonquin Park, watching the wildlife thrive in their world, and not feel a responsibility to give something back.
Since 2019, we’ve partnered with Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, one of Ontario’s largest wildlife rehabilitation centres. Since that partnership began, Follow Me North guests have helped fund the rescue, rehabilitation, and lifelong care of Ontario’s wildlife. Bears, foxes, wolves, moose, and more…animals that are alive and recovering in part because of the people who came out here with a camera and an open heart.
You’re not just investing in your photography. You’re investing in the places and animals that make it all worth doing.
