Bye bye difficult color casting, muddy skin and neon grass and hello to freedom from editing struggles,

This mini course will take you from "easy to edit" images to successfully editing all of your galleries in a style that you desire without doubt. With a full range of understanding of what you can do in Lightroom, nothing can hold you back. This course has an even mix of Lightroom panel explanations and tutorials and real life editing applications with my client images. So much more than a Lightroom tutorial this shows you how to solve common pesky editing hiccups like skin, neon green grass and difficult overcast edits. This course is brand new and newly recorded in June of 2024 so all software and tutorial updates are applied.

This course is designed with the busy small business owner in mind and is organized into bite sized lessons/modules that are easy to follow, and digest. When growing my educational offerings it was important to me to offer courses that could be accessed on the students schedule- at anytime, anywhere. A lot of the lessons are videos with clear audio so you can stream and listen even when you are driving, or editing. Pairing with the visual learning is ideal, but you can watch and rewatch at your leisure. 

I am short on free time... Is this still for me?

03

Each mini course, and the monthly membership in Flourish Library are all stand alone content purchases and none of the content overlaps into another. Purchasing a course, you can confidently assume that all education is exclusive to that particular purchase. The monthly membership may cover newborn edits or sessions but will be unique lessons separate from this course's lessons. 

Do I need this if i am in the monthly membership? 

02

A mini course in Flourish Library is like a bite sized mentorship focusing on one specific topic, or niche. It is similar in the way that it is education from one photographer to another. It is different in the way that it is not a back and forth of information, it is a one time purchase of a content course that is pre-created with photography growth in mind. Student/teacher access is more limited. It is similar to purchasing presets - a transaction. 

Is this a mentorship?
