At La Lomita Wildlife Photography Ranch, you’ll have the opportunity to photograph a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, birds, butterflies, and other native species. Our carefully maintained natural landscapes provide the perfect setting for capturing stunning images of animals in their natural habitat, immersing you in the beauty of the outdoors.

We also contribute to bird research through eBird, a global database managed by Cornell University. Every time we go out, we document the bird species we observe, and eBird helps identify rare sightings. You can explore the most recent bird checklists from La Lomita by visiting our official eBird hotspot: View Recent Sightings.

Pack your camera, lenses, and batteries to help you create your next masterpiece. Make sure to have some comfortable clothes and some rugged shoes as well. It’s a good idea to put on some sunscreen and insect repellent too, and if you’ve got it, a hat can’t hurt. To maximize your chances of a great shot, you might want to bring a tripod and binoculars. Bring some food and beverages as well. If you find you need to use the restroom during your time at the ranch, there are some facilities located only a mile or two from here, so it should be a quick trip.

Our wildlife photography sessions are available by appointment throughout the entire year. We aim to provide flexible visiting hours to accommodate your schedule. We recommend reaching out to confirm specific dates and times, ensuring the best experience during your visit to the ranch.

The typical day starts with meeting at the ranch gate about sunrise, we head to one of our morning blinds and shoot until lunch.  We then take lunch break for a few hours, meet back at the ranch gate mid-afternoon, head to one of our evening blinds and shoot until dusk.
