GUEST TESTIMONIALS:

“Keenan is a great trip leader! He is congenial, knowledgable, efficient, and fun. He is very service oriented and was mindful of all in the group. He was always available for questions and instructions/guidance. It was clear he was thinking about where to go and what to do to optimize our experience. He is even tempered and appears to really enjoy leading the trip. One of my favorite trip leaders!”

“Keenan was very professional and kept the trip moving on time cheerfully but firmly. When the weather created difficulties with the intended schedule, he worked tirelessly to provide options. He was well versed on Glacier's weather, wildlife, topography (and how it came to be), and had a thorough knowledge of everyone's cameras and equipment (this last bit is rarely the case on photography tours). In addition, he spent VERY little time taking pictures of his own, but instead walked up and down among the group, ensuring that we were using the right tools to get a great picture.

Because Keenan is well-versed in Olympus cameras, he was able to help me find the right internal tools to take better pictures, and in the process he never became impatient, but instead helped me see alternative ways of using the menus, the reasons for each, and the settings to accomplish my goals. I learned more from him than any prior instructor.”

“I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for an incredible experience on our recent trip. Our guide Keenan was exceptional in every way — He shared invaluable photography tips that helped me take my skills to the next level, and he did so with patience and enthusiasm. His overall spirit and positive energy made the entire journey even more enjoyable. I would love to take more trips with Keenan in future.

Keenan was always friendly, approachable, and attentive to everyone’s needs, creating a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere for the whole group. Thanks to him, I not only captured amazing photos but also learned a lot and had a fantastic time. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommended!”

“One of the highlights of the trip was our guide Keenan! He was AMAZING! Camera knowledge, wildlife spotting, Yellowstone Park knowledge, animal knowledge. He made sure at every stop, people were good with their camera settings! He was attentive and accommodating to guest requests. We had a "WOW" wildlife experience every single day, So many sightings! He really made this trip amazing.

Keenan was kind, attentive, accommodating, infinitely knowledgeable. Amazing a spotting wildlife and getting us into safe spots to capture great photos! He is also a great communicator.

He was GREAT! We saw Grizzly bears, black bears, elk, bull elk, pronghorn, black tail deer, mule deer, white tail dear, marmot, ravens, wolves, coyote, fox, moose, and so much more. He was attentive to abiding by park rules. Thank you, Keenan, for making this trip so special!”

“I was really inspired by our guide, Keenan Hursh. This was my third photography trip. I can say, without a doubt, that Keenan exceeded my expectations in every way. There were seven photographers on our trip, and Keenan set out, from the very beginning, to create a cohesive and positive environment, which increased with each day of the trip.

Keenan was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. For each photo shoot, he engaged each one of us independently, answering questions, giving positive feedback and useful tips. He was genuinely interested in helping each of us develop our skills and capture magnificent photos. For example, I learned, for the first time, to shoot in manual mode. I enhanced my long exposure skills and was inspired to try compositions I had not originally considered. He was also very engaging personally. He has an amazing sense of humor and genuine respect for people.”
