The Lightroom Series
Professional education designed to be accessible. Every training is $99 or less.
Editing should empower you, not make you feel like you’re ruining your own image. This series is designed to give you a streamlined, professional Lightroom workflow that removes the guesswork from your editing. You'll walk away with the confidence to clean up your files and add that final, polished 'wow' factor to every gallery you deliver.
The Intro to Lightroom Training
You know the potential in your images—you can see the final transformation in your head. But the second you open Lightroom, that vision hits a wall of sliders and icons. You’re staring at a screen full of "missing file" icons and clicking sliders at random, hoping you’ll accidentally stumble onto a professional result.
What this training gives you:
A "Bulletproof" Library: Learn to build a folder and catalog system that stays organized as your portfolio grows.
The "Rescue" Protocol: Never panic again when Lightroom "loses" a file. Nancy teaches exactly how to reconnect your hard drive.
Intentional Editing: Stop "guessing" with sliders. Learn exactly how Highlights, Shadows, and Dehaze work to create a clean, professional aesthetic.
The Batch Power: Learn to edit one photo and apply it to a hundred in seconds—because your time is valuable.
-
Understanding the "Catalog" vs. the "Hard Drive." We cover Lightroom versions, building a folder system that works, choosing the right preview sizes, and the secret to renaming files so you can actually find them.
-
The Right Way to Import. Whether you're moving files from a folder or a memory card, we’ll set up a workflow that ensures your images are safe, backed up, and ready to edit.
-
Developing Your Vision. A deep dive into Exposure, Contrast, White Balance, and the "Detail Trifecta" (Clarity, Texture, Dehaze). Plus, learning the subtle art of Vibrance vs. Saturation.
-
Beyond the Basics. We master Lens Corrections, Sharpening, and the B&W Decision Matrix to see if your image earns a monochrome conversion. We also cover Virtual Copies for experimenting without risk.
-
Sharing Your Work. Specific presets and settings for social media (no more blurry IG posts!) and the technical requirements for high-quality printing.
Lightroom isn't just an editing app; it's an organization system. In this training, Nancy teaches you the "Why" behind the "How." We’re going to build a rock-solid foundation so you can spend less time behind the screen and more time behind the lens.

The Advanced Lightroom Training
What this training gives you:
The "Cinematic" Secret: Master the Tone Curve and Color Grading wheel to create a signature style that basic sliders can't touch.
Targeted Retouching: Learn to enhance eyes, whiten teeth, and soften skin without making your subjects look "fake."
Advanced Masking: Recover lost skies and add realistic sun flares to transform "boring" light into something magical.
Pro-Level Organization: Use facial recognition, color labels, and smart keywords to find any photo in your library in under 5 seconds.
You understand the basic sliders and how the Library module works—but your images are missing that "magic." You want a signature style, those cinematic colors, glowing skin, and dramatic skies you see from your favorite pros, but you’re stuck in the Basic Panel, and your library of thousands of images is becoming impossible to navigate.

-
The Perfect Portrait. Specific workflows for eyes and teeth whitening, skin softening, and my secret for reducing skin redness without affecting the rest of the photo.
-
Speed Up Your Selection. Learn my "Culling" system using star ratings and color labels. Build Collections to group your best work and use AI Facial Recognition to "Find People" automatically.

Know Before You Go: This is an advanced technical training. Importing, exporting, and the basic panel sliders are not covered in this training. To get the most out of this, you should have already completed the Intro to Lightroom Training or be fully comfortable with the Lightroom Catalog system.
