Let me start by saying how honored I am that you are here. Even if just considering investing in yourself and  your business is a huge step!! 
Investing in your photography education is important because it shortens the learning curve, deepens your creative and technical skills, and helps you stand out in a competitive industry. It builds your confidence and teaches you more than just how to take beautiful photos. Every step you invest in yourself moves you closer to the photographer (and professional) you want to become.

"Michelle’s Mentorship Changed My Entire Business."

"From editing down to the way I ran my business, and I couldn’t be more thankful. I will be 100% honest here, I had no idea what brushes or even radial filters were until I took her mentorship. Before her mentorship, I was actually nervous or embarrassed to show my work. After her mentorship, I want to shout from the rooftops about my art that I am so proud of."

"A second review goes here. Good reviews can convince potential customers that you are an expert in your field."

"A third review goes here. Good reviews can convince potential customers that you are an expert in your field."

We are going to go over everything you need to become comfortable in Lightroom and Photoshop. I edit mainly in Lightroom Classic so I'll be going over only the very necessary in Photoshop so that it isn't so intimidating. I'll go over different lighting scenarios, how to edit skin tones, removing unwanted objects and so much more!

This editing course is $350.

"Since Starting Michelle's Mentorship, My Editing Has Improved Drastically!"

"Photoshop used to intimidate me, but now I know how to harness it to make my work stand out. Working with Michelle has made me feel more comfortable lighting clients in golden hour to achieve an artistic look. She's always there to answer questions and is hands on when teaching her mentees new techniques. I'm so happy to have grow so much over the course of her mentorship.
