Eastern Shore of Virginia Photo Expedition
SPRING 2026
Keeping the Tradition Alive
For those of you who have been coming to Cape Charles since the Nikon Cafe days, you know exactly why we keep coming back. There’s a certain magic to the Shore that never gets old. Since continuing the tradition when I moved here, I’ve loved seeing this group grow and evolve.
Whether this is your tenth trip or your very first time joining the photo club for a weekend on the Shore, I can't wait to share my “backyard” with you. I’ve spent years scouting these marshes and docks, and I’m still finding new corners to capture. (I even have a 2’x3’ metal print of one of my favorites hanging in my living room!).
Spring is a special time here—the bird migration is in full swing, the marshes are turning that vibrant green, and the light over the Chesapeake is spectacular. Whether you’re here for the Assateague ponies, the historic fishing villages, or the quiet statement of an abandoned railroad car, there’s a shot waiting for you.
Help Pick the Dates!
I want to make sure as many of us as possible can get together. Based on weather, I’ve narrowed it down to a few potential weekends in April and May.
How it works:
Cast your vote for the weekend(s) that work for you in the form below.
I’ll tally the votes and announce the most popular date by [Insert Date].
Once the date is set, I’ll send out the full itinerary and gear prep guide to everyone on the list.
The Details
The Vibe: This is a collaborative field trip. I’ll provide the "Master Map" and suggested timing for the best light, and we’ll meet up to shoot, eat, and catch up.
Stay: I’ll be at my home on the Shore. If you’re looking for other lodging, Cape Charles and Onancock have great boutique options.
Optional Excursions: Depending on interest, we can look into a sunset sail or an eco-boat tour of the barrier islands.
