Dramatic Palouse Storm Approaching

The first tour of 2015 didn't disappoint. There was lots of weather drama and terrific clouds. The group was full of energy and enthusiasm as we awoke early for 5:30am sunrises and shot until sundown. We took a break after breakfast back at the hotel and another one before sunset to refresh our batteries and the camera batteries too.

Testimonials

"Excellent tour, wonderful sites to see and we had a very knowledgeable tour guide, ( Teri Lou.) The scenery in the Palouse area is wonderful, the places we went to photograph were so awesome. The people we met along the way were very friendly and helpful, not to mention generous with their spaces and time. It was everything I expected and then more. Thanks a lot Teri Lou." ~Minnetta

“ I would sign up again in a second!" ~Joann

"Teri Lou did a stellar job of juggling everyone's wishes and expectations with the practical logistics of guiding a diverse group around a vast area for the 4 day workshop. She's so cheerful and obliging and really knows her stuff. If you really want to squeeze the max out of the hours you have and be at the right place for the time of day and weather conditions (as far as humanly possible), Teri is definitely your "go-to girl". I had a blast. ” ~Vanessa

"We had a wonderful time with you. My husband, Leon, is very happy with his photos. We appreciated your relaxed demeanor, the access to your special locations and your flexibility with mixing it up throughout the day." ~Suzette

"Teri Lou did a great job organizing the tour and picking wonderful photo opportunities." ~Don

With Teri Lou I got more than I could have ever hoped for. She is not just a guide who brings in tours once a year but comes many times a year and has done so for a lot longer than the Palouse has been the "latest photographer’s dream area" to shoot.
And Teri Lou does not just come to the Palouse. She immerses herself into the area and the people in it. I learned about the land, farming and believe it or not a ton about iPhone photography. Watch me step up my game there too. We were even able to sit down and have dinner with her good friend Rod (a farmer in the Palouse) and I was given the great luxury to meet one of the most decent, open and humble men I have ever met.
Thank you Teri. It was a most special journey and I more than gladly recommend Teri as the guide of choice for the Palouse. And I look forward to our continuing friendship." ~ Richard

Passionate Tour Leader

Teri Lou Dantzler, a passionate photographer with a vast knowledge of the Palouse region will be leading this photographic tour. "I fell in love with the Palouse in 2002 during my first photographic tour. Ever since I have returned multiple times each year, once spending the entire summer driving all the back roads to find the hidden, out of the way photographic opportunities. I have had the pleasure of meeting several farming families; many with a long history in the region. The Palouse is full of people who take pride in working hard, are self-sufficient and still hang their clothes out to dry on the line. We will have an opportunity to visit one of these farms and hopefully have an opportunity to ride in a combine during harvest."

Stories of Life on the Farm

Teri Lou loves to share her knowledge of the Palouse from the perspective of the farmer. Over the years she has made it a point to 'stop in and chat for awhile' with many different families in the area. Her endless desire to ask questions about the crops, the machinery, the history and even the weeds provides participants on her tour a personal look into the culture of the Palouse region.

During the Harvest Photography Tour in August, her good friend Rod and his dog Maddie, poses for photos, answers your endless questions and even allows you to ride in the combine as it is harvesting this year's wheat crop.
