About this course

‍There’s a certain kind of alchemy that happens once the clients leave… We load the files onto our computer, and as each photo begins to load one by one by one we see magical moments immortalized in images of split second joy, love, tenderness and emotive silent stories unfold.

‍We see the captures and begin to choose our favorites– the ones that really cause a stir inside. These are the ones we will add the extra attention and love of editing to. These are the images which such strong foundational elements they deserve to be polished for our clients to truly do justice to the moments they want to remember.

‍Editing our images is a necessary piece of being a professional photographer. You can try all you want to create the perfect image without having to take your image into a program like Lightroom, but trust me when I say this, there’s a level of professionalism, polish and enhancement that all photos need to take them from good to great. It’s the great images that cause emotions to stir, hearts to race and memories to come flooding back. The great images are the ones so full of life and full of attention to detail that make your clients sing praises to their friends about how wonderful you are when images from their session are hung with honor on the walls of their homes.

‍When we edit, we are simply enhancing the capabilities of our cameras and bringing to life the true nature of what we photographed. Truthfully, our cameras are often unable to capture everything exactly the way we see it and a little editing can go a long way to bring details back into the picture, to make the stormy sky look as dramatic as it did the day the clouds were rolling in your clients were right in front of your lens, and to ensure each thoughtfully curated detail is given the attention it deserves. It’s in your hands to align the natural magic captured behind the lens and turn into visual magic in lightroom

‍I am taking you through my entire editing process from start to finish, showing you each and every little tweak, adjustment and detail as possible so you can learn how to conjure and implement the magic that will put your clients under a spell that will last as long as the heirloom albums being passed down from generation to generation.
