Based out of Eastham, MA in the heart of the Cape Cod National Seashore, we’ll photograph sunrises, sunsets, and scenes in between on both the “bay” and “ocean” side of the outer cape.  With views as far out into the Atlantic as one can imagine, gentle tides within the inner bay, and sand dunes crafted over decades winding up and down the coast, the rugged beauty of Cape Cod is there for us to explore and photograph.
