You know me: micro-changes for macro-results, right? Let’s get straight to the nitty-gritty of how I edit with the KJ edit, what import preset to use, and how to fix common imperfections--my goal isn’t to make your style a clone of mine, but to equip you with the know-how to build your own editing style!

module 2: In-depth Light Editing

• My Favorite Editing Secret--that allows me to maintain consistency in my work, so you can start producing images that look like you from ring to reception.

• A Pick Your Pattern Guide so we can walk through a method to keep your look across the board, no matter what you’re editing (and again, I’m okay if you copy what I do as you get started--you’ll develop your style from there!)

• 3 Types of Style Guide… light & airy, dark & dramatic, Vignette, split toning, Tonal Curve--WHEW! Don’t you worry, friend: my goal here is to set you straight on exactly what to tweak in Lightroom to get each look, so you can tweak and repeat until you have your own look.

• The POP Workshop: get ready to download the same image that I’ll walk you through editing, so we can give it a whirl in tandem, and really dig into how to make your images pop … without making them dark.

• The 3 Ways to Notice Heaviness--a mini checklist you can pocket and reference as you edit, to make sure that your editing is on par with the caliber of your work as a whole, and one image in particular doesn’t stick out as shadowy.

Time to talk color: from split toning to black and white, chromatic aberration and more, you’ll walk away from this module with a better grip on quickly toggling Lightroom sliders to build consistency in your portfolio … you’re one step closer to getting your life back!

module 3: how to correct color and skin tones

• White balance certainly has it’s time and place, but what about creating consistency across faces? This is my favorite thing to teach my one-on-one coaching clients, and I’ll show you How to Use Split Toning, too!

• I’ll give you my Split Toning Cheat Sheet so you know the magic wand edits to bring to life greyish skin tones, weird green hues (though that tree sure does make for a beautiful backdrop!), and blueish hues in your image.

• Black & White Techniques, giving you an outline of picking just the right images to translate into black and white … it’s not just a way to fix bad color, but a way to curate a classy style for your portfolio--you’ll learn the go-to slider to use for these shots.

• 9 Things to Look for with Chromatic Aberration so you have a watch-list of sorts to turn to before you export your images … and then, I’ll tell you how to correct it for those images you do need!

• The little-known thing to watch out for in your images … and how to crop to make sure this subtle distraction doesn’t creep up in your own work.

• The Three L’s of determining if a spot is pitch-perfect to bring over the whole family or wedding party, so you’re not getting them all situated, and then realizing to fix your location choice, you’ll have to spend hours in Lightroom.

• How I Batch Edit, because it’s possible to knock through 100 images in just 15 minutes … and I’ll pull back the curtain so you can watch me do it in real-time.

• The Blog First Approach, so next time you shoot a session or wedding, you’re able to get it published right away on your website, and bring a big smile to your couple’s faces while their feet are still 10 feet off the ground.
