A Night at the Refuge: Full Moon Edition

November 24, 2026

Experience Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge like you’ve never seen it before.

Join me for a special after-hours photography experience as we watch the November Full Moon rise over Freedom Field, illuminating the refuge and its residents in soft, dramatic moonlight. With the animals moving through the landscape beneath the full moon, the scene takes on an almost Frederic Remington-inspired quality.

This exclusive experience gives you the opportunity to access the refuge after regular visiting hours, offering a completely different perspective on the animals and their environment. We’ll photograph the moonrise and watch the animals as they settle into their evening routines.

And unlike some of our late-night adventures, this one is designed to fit easily into your week. We’ll be finished by 8 PM, making it the perfect weeknight escape for anyone who wants to do something memorable without committing an entire weekend.

Most importantly, your participation directly supports Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and the animals in their care. Come spend an evening experiencing the refuge under the November Full Moon while giving back to an organization dedicated to providing rescued big cats with a safe and permanent home.

A few hours. A full moon. Rescued wildlife. And a night you’ll remember.

Come experience Moonlight at the Refuge and see Freedom Field in an entirely new light.

Why This Event Is Special:

This workshop is exclusive, with extremely limited participation to ensure a safe, intimate, and immersive experience.

And best of all — 100% of the proceeds are donated directly to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, supporting their mission of rescuing and caring for abused, abandoned, and neglected big cats and other animals.  Be sure to also check out their Digital Download Video, “Uncharted” to learn more about a few of the residents.

To maximize your experience, you can also stay the night with the wild cats on the Turpentine property in Safari Suites, a Tree House, Glamping Tents, and even RV spaces!

SPACE IS LIMITED FOR TEACHING PURPOSES AND TO KEEP COMPOSITIONS UNCLUTTERED.

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!

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!!

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.

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!

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.
