a few weeks ago, a girl reached out in a facebook group that i am in, asking about photography classes for those who don't necessarily want to become photographers, but who are still interested in taking great pictures & editing said pictures consistently. i've been working really hard on editing consistently + learning the ins & outs of Adobe Lightroom (there is ALWAYS more to learn! but i've got a pretty great handle on it!) so as soon as she asked about a class such as this, i hopped on board & got working on a basic editing class for beginners.
i learned fairly quickly that the day i chose wasn't quite the best for everyone, but realized that that there was a huge response for those who want to learn & i would love to be able to teach what i've learned to more people. as the weeks have gone on, i've also realized a need & desire for people to learn the basics of photography, so i will also be starting a photography basics class as well for those who want to learn how to use their cameras better!

class dates:

editing basics: september 16, 2017 @ 10am-12pm
because taking + editing photos is kind of like putting socks on & then putting your shoes on, i wanted to be able to offer this option for those who want to learn both photography & editing. in the photography + editing basics classes, you will not only learn the basics, but you'll be given homework to do during the week, so you can practice what you learned in class & then during your editing basics class, you'll be able to practice editing on your own photos!
the photography + editing basics class participants will receive a workbook with homework for practice.
you can register for both classes together here.
