 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brennen Nicole's Dreamscapes workshop at White Sands National Park was an amazing experience. She took us to the perfect locations that she had scouted ahead of the workshop, and provided each participant personal attention to ensure everyone came home with an incredible image. The editing portion of the workshop was just as incredible as the photography. She is a very knowledgeable and patient instructor and helped each one of us at our own level to edit the images we captured in the field. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great time with Brennen on the  Galaxies Of The Gods workshop. I learned a lot in the field on composition and in the editing class. Brennen is a great teacher with patience and is very knowledgeable with a great personality. You can tell she loves teaching and helping people learn milky way photography. I 'm looking forward to another workshop in Oct and highly recommend Brennen to anyone interested in learning landscape or milky way photography. I will definitely being going on more workshops in the future!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The workshop was magnificent~! Her timing and instructions (verbal, written, and in person) make it easy to follow along and she leaves plenty of time for questions and problems with equipment.  I had a such a relaxing but exhaustive 3 day weekend! Up at 3:30am to catch the first rising of the Milky Way... Homemade breakfast with more food than we could eat! Every detail well thought out for so many memories and a great experience! Thanks you, Brennen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got to experience the San Juan color tour with Brennen this fall. It was a dream trip. I learned so much from Brennen and she brought us to the most beautiful places. I can’t believe that I took some of the photos I’ve collected from this trip. I highly recommend Brennen- she’s professional, fun, encouraging, and down to earth. I’ll definitely be looking for more opportunities in the future with her!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brennen is an excellent workshop leader. She works hard to make experienced to beginner photographers comfortable and strives to give any level photographer new skills. I am a fairly experienced photographer and she taught me some great new techniques. I took her fall Colorado tour in September 2025. The workshop was well organized and filled with many opportunities for photography experiences. I highly recommend her workshop and tours.
