Even as a non-beginner photographer, I learned so much from Catherine. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and generous with her insights — from composition and camera settings to seeing light and color in new ways. I might have some winners from this trip. Catherine packed an amazing amount into three days: we explored mountains, forests, and beaches, and photographed a wide range of subjects, including elk, bald eagles, and other wildlife. A truly inspiring and well-organized workshop — highly recommended!

Just completed Catherine's Vancouver Island Fall Tour and it was three very fine days of photography! Catherine is a very personable tour leader, skilled at wildlife etiquette and a good knowledge of the area! We were shown many nice spots on the tour and lots of wildlife and landscapes! Therefore, I can highly recommend Catherine's tours!

I recently completed a 3-day private photo tour with Catherine. What an enjoyable and rewarding experience! Catherine is happy to share her extensive knowledge about the area - the flora and fauna, the history and culture, as well as her expertise from a photography perspective. She ensured that our itinerary each day was tailored to meet my interests while making the most of the weather and the season. Catherine is a wonderful host – you will never go hungry or thirsty while in her care – and very pleasant company. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her and am looking forward to a follow up tour in the future!

I’ve just returned from a holiday on Vancouver Island, including a 3-day private photography tour with Catherine which was the highlight of the trip. Even before I arrived, we had agreed not only the itinerary for our tour, but Catherine also kindly provided some fantastic suggestions for other places for me to visit later. The tour itself was excellent; Catherine is passionate about her photography but also about the landscape and environment in which she is working. With her excellent local knowledge, we were able to photograph the animals I was hoping to see, in their natural surroundings and without disturbing them. For Catherine, the welfare of the subject comes first, along with her passion for the environment. For anyone seeking an engaging and meaningful adventure, I cannot recommend Catherine Babault’s private tours highly enough; this is an experience that will linger in your memory long after you return home.

I recently completed Catherine's Summer workshop in the beautiful Comox Valley and surrounding areas. Everything promised on her website was surpassed. What an experience. I'm a busy professional and I have a love of photography and nature. Catherine is a master photographer and a fantastic, patient and excellent teacher. She shared her knowledge in a way that I could finally understand some of the features of my camera that I've never known how to use. We went to stunningly, stunningly beautiful areas - an Island, a mountain top, the ocean side and a lush forest. She knew the natural history of all of the flora and fauna and shared this as she instructed me how to capture those the detailed and clear shots. I never realized how hard it was to photograph a bird, but I now know the settings! Catherine really supported my whole experience as a learner and as a visitor to that beautiful part of Vancouver Island. She was professional, organized, super pleasant and friendly and shared tips that will change the way I take pictures forever. In summary, that workshop was the ultimate mindfulness experience - I was "present" the whole time and exhilarated with the learning about wildlife and plants, photography and the exploration of new areas. It was worth every penny.
