At the end of the course you can watch me edit an entire photo session – from start to finish – using the tools + techniques taught throughout the class! Think of it as a one-on-one editing sesh with yours truly. I’ve also created a Q+A section which I’m super stoked on because I love directly answering your toughest editing questions!

• Adobe Lightroom Classic + Adobe Photoshop (Can be purchased for just $10 a month through Creative Cloud!) on a functioning computer (these are not mobile programs but computer software!)
• A camera that can shoot in RAW capabilities (aka a DSLR, Go Pro, or Mirrorless camera)
• The very basic knowledge of how a camera works (I.E. shutter speed and aperture)
• An eagerness to learn + desire to take the plunge and invest in your editing skills!
  

• Any understanding of how Lightroom or Photoshop works – I’ll teach you all the basics!
• To be an experienced photographer – or even a professional photographer at all! This course is even for people who just have a fancy camera, love taking photos, and want to learn how to edit their own memories!
• To own any presets. Although I do edit using presets throughout the course (and they are included!), all the techniques + principles still apply no matter what you’re editing with. I also have a section all about creating your own presets from scratch!

If you’re a brand new photographer, this self paced course will arm you with the tools you need to feel confident putting your work out there, as well as be a place you can return to as you want to learn more. If you’re a little more experienced but still looking to take your editing game up a notch (or several!) then this course is for you, too – I’ll be your mentor as your photography stretches and grows.
