I had an incredible time attending the Magic of Cowboys Montana workshop. Lisa is not only a great photographer and teacher, but she is extremely organized and dedicated to making it a great experience for everyone. Her team is extremely helpful in the field, especially if you need any help with your camera settings. She and the ranch owner/cowboys have created a true partnership. They brought the photos right to us. I can still hear the horses hoofbeats as they galloped past us and across the plains.

Lisa Langell Photography knocked it out of the park, once again! Lisa and her staff always go above and beyond to make sure each participant has everything they need to be successful in obtaining photos they never thought they were capable of!! I speak from experience, I have attended many of Lisa's workshops. No questions ever go unanswered, every question is treated equally. There are no questions that seem less important than others. Each photographer is treated equally! I love that about Lisa and her staff. She is surrounded by patient and knowledgeable assistants that assist with every aspect involved. The opportunities that were presented during this workshop were absolutely incredible, sometimes I had to remind myself to quit gawking and take photos!!! Lodging, food (Barb's campfire cooking is off the charts), and transportation were first-class. I feel very confident when I recommend friends to take a workshop with Lisa, she is simply the BEST!!!! See you in Alaska, 2026!

Lisa, and her crew were outstanding. Everything planned to smallest detail.

By Donnette L for Magic of Cowboys - Montana 2025 - Week 2 on Oct 15, 2025

The most important lesson I learned from this experience is that you do not need to be a wildlife or landscape or professional photographer to have an amazing experience on this adventure. I am none of these and chose this workshop to take me out out of my comfort zone and learn something new. The team that Lisa has assembled are knowledgeable, fun and willing to go the extra mile to help you succeed. The food was exceptional and the accommodations were great.
