There are few wild places in North America more magical than the hidden bayous of Louisiana and the last remaining stands of old growth cypress trees. Professional photographers David Cobb and Christian Heeb have been visiting these locations for years.

On this photo tour, during the fleeting autumn days, we’ll explore some hidden gems in Louisiana and east Texas. From fog on the water to an abundance of bird life, you’ll find perfect photo opportunities from land, air boat, pontoon boat, and sturdy sea canoes and/or kayaks. We may even see a few alligators, but the amphibians and snakes are mostly hibernating during the chillier temperatures. Our goal is to guide you to the best location during the best possible time so you can capture great images.

When we’re on the water we have local nature guides to lead us. This trip is rated as relatively easy, but you need the ability to enter and exit a canoe on your own and walk over uneven terrain. You also need an understanding of the operation and function of your camera.

Look at our photo gallery and let yourself be inspired by images of previous trips. Welcome to the bayou. Find out more here.
