Solana Re
Sam introduced me to Lightroom and has been guiding me along my journey of becoming a professional photographer.
I thought I had nothing left to learn, until I tried her new online course last week. This girl is a never ending source of knowledge, and Lightroom is definitely her expertise!
Don’t miss out on this one, it will not only change the way your content looks, but also the way you work, saving you hours if not years of complicated and unpractical processes.
Jennifer Martin
The way the course is structured into small digestible modules made it so easy to navigate through what I feel is a daunting program. The pace was perfect, she literally answered any questions I had without even having to ask them. I felt so motivated to be more organized with my photos, from uploading, renaming files, structuring folders and lets not forget about the in-depth step-by-step on how to edit/enhance photos. Since taking this course I feel more confident in my editing skills, I don't think I will ever go back to presets again! Thank you Sam for launching this amazing course, this has forever changed the way I look at photos and how I edit. I would definitely recommend to anyone!
Cherisse Agresti
Lightroom can be overwhelming and intimidating! I tried learning on my own, but wasn’t getting very far. Sam’s expertise and knowledge has helped me tremendously! She takes her time in explaining things, making her tips, tricks and shortcuts easy to follow along, understand and remember. For anyone who wants a solid understanding of Lightroom, I highly suggest this online course!!
Juan Faisal
I will never get tired of giving credit to Sam for helping me overcome my fear of Lightroom. She was super detailed walking through her workflow while also helping me connect the dots to build on that and make it my own. I strongly recommend her class A+++
Carly Nogawski
I thought I knew Lightroom pretty well until learning from Sam…WOW! She drastically improved my editing workflow and taught me so many skills that have transformed my photos. Both my Lightroom catalog and hard drive are so much more organized after learning her importing and sorting methods. This was something I didn’t really know I needed in my life as a blogger, but it has seriously been life changing! She really knows how to help creatives take their photos to the next level. I’ve learned from a few different creators/photographers over the years and she is definitely my favorite teacher!
Carolene Meli
Within minutes of listening to Sam teach Lightroom, it is obvious that she really has a deep love for photography and for helping others produce their best creative work, no matter how beginner or advanced they are. She teaches in a way that is clear, to the point, patient and attentive. I learnt so much in my workshop with Sam and I will continue to use the resources that she creates whenever I need help editing. She is my go to Lightroom professional!
Lauren Pelkey
Sam's passion, skill, and knowledge of photography & editing are truly unmatched. I've seen Sam teach in-person workshops in destinations around the world and to now see all of her skills combined and served on a silver platter in her Lightroom Masterclass is just pure gold. Let's just say you're lucky you've come across this page because she's about to change your photo editing game FOREVER.
Emily Barkemeyer
There’s no question Sam is an amazing photographer and photo editor, but did you know she’s mastered the art of photo organization too!? During this easy to follow, accomplish at your own pace course, she walks you through the details of her personal editing style, the key features you can use in Lightroom to really show off your style and she also shares her photo picking process which has helped me so much! I highly recommend this course if you’re new to LR or if you’re feeling overwhelmed with the sheer amount of photos you have and need to comb through. She has enormously helped my editing and photo storage process!
Charlotte Lint
I thought I knew a thing or two about editing, but boy was I wrong. Within the timespan of just 1 hour I learned so much from her! Thanks to her I now have a super efficient workflow when it comes to importing and selecting my photos without ending up with extra copies on my computer. She is the best teacher I ever had because Lightroom and editing truly is her passion, and she explains everything in a way that you actually understand! She taught me so many valuable tips and tricks and I can't recommend her course enough! If there is one person that you can absolutely trust when it comes to a Lightroom course it's Sam!

FAQs
Anyone with a camera who is ready to take their photography to the next level. Amateurs, beginners, semi-pros, or pros who don’t have a handle on their workflow and administration of images and want to move beyond the basics. Bloggers and content creators who want to take their business seriously. And self-employed entrepreneurs who need to produce their own images on a regular basis and are doing it in-house.
Anyone looking for a one click solution like a preset, or a quick YouTube tutorial to enhance their instagram grid. This is a masterclass and it is meant to explain every detail and functionality of the software.
This masterclass is an investment in your knowledge. I First learn this software in 2008, and spent the las 12 years perfecting my systems, and going through trial and error. Here, you will save time, energy and money, and learn from someone who has used this program almost every day, dealing with real clients, and real problems. No question goes unanswered. This is a journey, a step by step beginning to end guide of every single tool and button on the software.
Unfortunately, because this is a digital product, once you register I cannot offer a refund. However, I am confident you will learn everything you need to know about this software, and wont be disapointed.
The course is 100% video lessons, and it's divided between screen recordings and on camera lessons. The course contains 6 modules, 80 lessons, and it is about 5 hours of material. I recommend taking the time with each section to practice and learn on your own Lightroom, but it is possible to get through the material in a day.
You will need Adobe Lightroom Classic (Desktop). Both light/mobile version and this full version are part of the Creative Cloud membership, if you mistakenly downloaded the light version, you can download Classic from your creative cloud. Feel free to visit my blog to learn more about the different versions of Lightroom, but everything is clearly explain on the first module of the course.
The way I see it, being a professional photographer is three things:
- Booking clients
- Shooting Clients
- Editing and delivering images to clients
If you manage to book clients and take beautiful photos but you accidentally lose files, hand over low resolution images, or can't keep a consistent look, you will most likely end your photography career very quickly. No client will want to receive images that look completely different than what they expected...
If you are spending too much time in the editing room, that is time you are not spending doing marketing, sales, and finding new clients. Trust me when I tell you, mastering the post production workflow will take your photography business to the next level.
Look, who doesn't want to master a skill, even if it's just a hobby? I cant imagine you would want to edit horrible photos, or lose files here and there... You get what I'm saying, don't you? You don't have to want to pursue photography professionally to take this course. It was made for absolute beginners, so you don't need to know anything coming in. Anyone who wants to learn how to do post production and editing will benefit from this class.
Don't just take my word for it
