May 28-31, 2026 | Cape May, NJ
Breeding Season • Courtship Displays • Eggs & Chicks • Behavior • Birds in Flight
An immersive bird photography and creative, computational landscape, seascape, and streetscape experience with OM SYSTEM Ambassadors — designed to inspire, challenge, and transform your photography.
Any camera model is welcome. One hotel, multiple locations, 3 OM SYSTEM Ambassadors (Frank Smith, Lisa Cuchara, and Tom Cuchara)
Whether you’re new to bird photography or ready to level up, this retreat blends art, fieldcraft, and computational intelligence into an experience that will change how you photograph wildlife forever.
Step into the vibrant heart of Coastal New Jersey during the bird breeding and displaying season, when birds erupt with color, movement, dance, and new life. This is the moment when feathers flare, mates court with ritual elegance, and tiny downy chicks stretch their wobbly necks toward the rising sun.
Join us for an immersive Photography Retreat, created for photographers who crave both inspiration and technical mastery. Whether you’re eager to capture the split-second lift of a black-crowned night heron, the glowing plumes of Great Egrets in display, or the tender moments between parents and chicks, this workshop will guide you toward images that feel alive. Add to this the vibrancy of the Victorian homes and the quintessential beaches of the Atlantic.
Like all www.NaturePhotoRetreats.com events, this weekend is about more than settings — it’s about creativity, community, and time in nature with mentors who genuinely care about your growth as an artist.
