Our Story
When I was young, I used to roam the creeks and pastures on and around Hackberry Farm in search of things from the natural world that intrigued me. Turtles, flowers, deer, fossils, and other things caught my attention. So when I got my first camera as a teen, it was little wonder what I'd be drawn to.
Thirty years passed, and Hackberry Farm was for sale. My wife (Kristy) and I quickly jumped on the opportunity to buy the place and make it our home.
At Hackberry Farm Photography Workshops, we believe that nature photography should be accessible to everyone. We offer workshops and courses to teach photographers of all skill levels how to capture stunning images of the natural world. Join us at Hackberry Farm or at one of our workshops in locations across the globe to learn about nature photography from a pro.
Hackberry Farm is a beautiful property located north of Dodd City, Texas. Here, nature abounds in the creeks, pastures, woods, and wetlands of the property. In addition, a rustically appointed and relaxed classroom setting helps round out the immersive learning experience.
