The Wildlife Photography Experience You've Been Looking For
Private, guided photography workshops from Algonquin to South Africa.
Fully hands-on. Built entirely around your growth, at your pace.
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. Every workshop that includes an Aspen Valley experience includes a $465 donation made directly to the sanctuary on your behalf.
Since that partnership began, Follow Me North guests have contributed over $20,000 to 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.
When you book with us, you’re not just investing in your photography. You’re investing in the places and animals that make it all worth doing.

You’ll get hands-on guidance without intimidation.
We meet you where you are, whether you’re just starting or more experienced.
One-on-One Coaching,
Real Attention
Our Algonquin workshops are private. No additional participants will be added. This is just for you, so you get plenty of one-on-one support and coaching in the field. Bring a friend or two, and share the experience with no additional fee.
Algonquin Is Our Backyard
We know the seasons, the light, and the quiet places where moments unfold naturally. We’ll share our favourite locations within the park and set you up for success for your next visit.
