The earth is the LORD’s,
and all its fullness.

We think we live in the most beautiful part of the country. The Pacific Northwest has so many visual delights. And our favorite place in the Northwest is Leavenworth. It has a special beauty we haven’t found anywhere else.

If you’re a photographer, beginning, talented amateur or professional, Leavenworth and the whole of Wenatchee Valley provide ample opportunity to practice your craft.

Open April 15-October 15. They have a lot of special events and host weddings and other special occasions. See the website for admission information and hours.
