Yukon Photography Workshop for Women
The Yukon Arctic Photography Prep Guide:
What You Need to Know Before You Go
What if you never had to choose between the hike and the photo again?
You’ve been on those trips. The ones where you bring your camera and then leave it in your bag because everyone’s already two bends ahead, waiting. The ones where you feel guilty for slowing people down because you needed five more minutes to get your composition down?
You’ve been going on the wrong kind of trip.
The Yukon Arctic Photography Tour is different. It’s guilt-free. Photography-first. Women-only. And it’s designed for women who are done surrendering their cameras because there’s “never enough time.”
But first, you need to know if this journey is right for you.
That’s where this guide comes in.

What to Expect: The Real Talk

This isn’t just a guide. It’s your first step toward reclaiming photography as non-negotiable in your life.
Who This Is For
This guide is for you if:
You're tired of trips where photography takes a backseat to everyone else's agenda.
You've been dreaming about Arctic photography but don't know if you're "ready".
You crave a women-only experience where you won't feel judged, rushed, or invisible.
You want guilt-free creative time in one of the most stunning landscapes on the planet.
What Others Are Saying
"I enjoyed Saturday very much and now I'm excited to play with various settings under the manual option on my camera. It's given me greater confidence to explore all the myriad of functions a DSLR offers on my own. I'm excited to be more in control of the picture I envision in my head." - Participant
"You were a triple threat: A GREAT TEACHER (as a student of teaching and a teacher of teachers for 30 years, I know good teaching when I see it), A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER, and A GREAT HUMAN BEING." — Lori, 30-year teaching veteran
"Not only did Cobi clearly explain the fundamentals of her art, she had participants illustrate these concepts with practical exercises in the field. In the afternoon we went on a beautiful hike in the forest, up to a summit. This excursion gave us the opportunity to put the new ideas into concrete photographic form." - Participant
"Tonight, I plan to go out for a walk in the neighborhood after dinner with my camera, and I am excited to put into practice what we learned. Thanks again for your inspiring workshop." — Lori
We're not like other photography workshops
I started Spark because I was tired of women feeling talked over.
I wanted to create a supportive and encouraging place where women feel safe to grow as photographers—where asking "beginner" questions is celebrated, not dismissed. Where gear worship doesn't replace actual teaching. Where you're never made to feel like you're slowing anyone down.
And let's face it: traveling with your gals is way more fun.
Years ago, I attended a photography workshop where I left more confused than when I went in because men dominated the questions and the instructor's time with heavy gear talk. I was intimidated. I felt invisible.
