Learn From Me | Education For The Curious Artist
Are you ready to finally fulfill your potential? Are you ready to create the work you know you have in you, but just can't quite attain? Are you ready for more?
Great! You're in the right place.
I have been a mentor and educator in our industry for over a decade and a half now. I have helped thousands of photographers find their voice, embrace their individuality and completely rethink the way they are approaching their work.
I specialize in the art of intentionally and slowing down. On presence and authenticity. On creating a unique and meaningful experience for my own clients. I help photographers in turn create unique and meaningful experiences for their clients.
Whether you are looking for new inspiration, a new approach, a new workflow, a new editing style or refining what is existing-- I can help you. I want to help you. I teach because photography has completely changed my life. I want it to also transform you.
It does not matter if you just picked up your camera yesterday or you are a seasoned professional photographer, there is something here for you. My approach is honest but kind. In nurturing and honoring your vision. In helping you be more you versus feeling the need to conform.
So.
What are you waiting for?
Are you ready to take the leap?
I want to be part of your journey.
Let's get started.

Are you ready to create from an Authentic, Inspired Place?
It's time to create the work that looks AND feels good.
How do you learn best? Is it in an intimate setting one-on-one? Is it in a group of like-minded individuals? Is it online in the coziness of your own home where pants are fully optional? Or is it in person, face to face at a quaint coffee shop? All of those are valid and regardless of where your comfort level resides, I have something for you. The important thing is this all works for you. That suits your needs. That brings out the best in you. Sound good? Let's explore our options!

For the Editing Tools in the shop
What Programs do these Editing Tools work with?
Most of the tools provided in my shop are for Photoshop CC versions unless otherwise noted. There are also Presets for both Lightroom and ACR offered as well. Be sure to read the shop descriptions. They will tell ya which is which.
How do I install these Actions or Presets in my Program?
For your convenience there are directions included right in the download that help you get your presets or actions installed quickly and easily.
Will my images look exactly like the previews?
No, and that is the beauty of these. Each image you take will vary from other photographers because your settings, gear and lighting is unique to you. A preset or action is a prerecorded set of steps and do the same thing every time, but since your work may be different than mine, the changes may feel a bit different. This is a good thing because you can create a workflow and style all your own. The tones and such will be similar if you are starting with good exposure and white balance. You can also tweak this to make it look best for your image. I highly encourage you to play and experiment. These are designed to be easy to change or tweak for this reason and can be adaptable to almost any style.
What is a helper action versus a creative action?
A "helper" action is designed to "help" certain aspects of your image. They are usually very simple in nature and target one area such as color, contrast, or particular areas of your image such as the landscape or sky. Some are brushed on while others are an adjustment layer or series of steps to creatively accentuate your edit. A "creative" action is a bit more dramatic in nature and changes the entire feel of your image when you click play. This action is going to change the tones, light and contrast in your image and is best if tweaked. I usually pull down the entire opacity of my creative action after running it. I also like to stack them but usually only use them on 20% opacity if I do this.
Why am I getting an error when I run my action?
This is typically because you are not running the action on a flattened image. Make sure to flatten in between using to avoid this. When running any action you also want to run it on a background layer.
Are these Actions/Presets refundable?
Due to the digital nature of the actions and presets in my shop they are not refundable. Please be sure you have the proper program or are not making a double purchase when checking out in my shop. I love to be helpful but this policy protects me as an artist and deters fraudulent activity or intentions. I truly appreciate you understanding.
