Quick Transformation: Go from “file chaos” and “preset confusion” to a streamlined, intentional editing workflow that brings your creative vision to life
Your Photos Are Everywhere. Your Editing is Lost. It’s Time to Fix Both.
Let’s be honest. Your photos are stored on your phone, multiple old hard drives, and some random folder you can’t seem to find. There’s chaos. Your photos are stuck in a digital nightmare, waiting for a magic wand that doesn’t exist. You’ve dabbled with presets, but they never quite capture the raw emotion of the moment you felt. And the preset edit, doesn’t really feel like yours.
This isn’t just a tutorial. It’s your Creative Rebellion, and editing is a powerful part of it.
Imagine finishing a photo not by guessing, but by knowing exactly what tools to use to enhance the story you saw. Imagine a workflow that’s simple, streamlined, and actually yours. This full-day workshop is designed to demystify the editing process and give you the confidence to finish your photos with meaning, learning the foundations of Lightroom.
In this workshop, we’ll start with a morning photo walk to photograph the Gravel Falls, the powerful, erosive force of glacial meltwater. Then, we transition to a guided, screen-supported session where you’ll learn the tools to make those images spark.
Why an In-Person Workshop? Because 100% Beats 10%
Online courses promise the world, but the stats don’t lie… most people never finish them. You have a 5-15% chance of completing that online class gathering dust in your inbox. And you always have questions with no one to answer them.
This workshop is different. It’s an immersive, hands-on experience designed for 100% completion. We’ll be side-by-side in a meeting room, working through the challenges together. You won’t get distracted. You won’t get stuck. You’ll get it done.
What You’ll Experience
This isn’t a stuffy lecture. It’s a hands-on session designed to meet you where you are and get you to where you want to be.
Morning Photo Walk: Step onto the stunning landscapes of Georgian Bay, home to the world’s largest freshwater archipelago and a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve, ensuring you have meaningful and exciting images to work with.
Learn Adobe Lightroom Classic: Step-by-step guidance on how to import, organize, edit, watermark, and export your photos like a pro.
Streamline Your Workflow: Say goodbye to digital file chaos and hello to a clear, repeatable process that saves you time and sanity.
Transform Your Images: Use editing to enhance your photos, create moody atmospheres, and tell better stories - all with learning how to develop your own unique style, not a generic filter.
We always say that a photo is the canvas, editing is the paint.

What Past Participants Said
Here’s what a past participant had to say about our photo editing workshop:
"I had the privilege of attending the Photo Walk and Editing Workshop on April 26th. I have always enjoyed photography and have recently started shooting strictly in manual mode (a personal challenge), however, I never really did anything with my photos. I had dabbled with Lightroom in the past, but to be honest, the whole process was rather scary and overwhelming. Cobi brought clarity to the whole Lightroom process, from importing my photos to getting photos ready for social media or print. Her knowledge of photography and the editing process came through in her teaching. She was clear in her instruction, patient and encouraging both on our photo walk, and during the editing section of the day. I left feeling encouraged and inspired to not only edit old photos, but to pick up my camera on a more regular basis. I would encourage anyone struggling with the editing process, to take this workshop - you won't be disappointed.” - Lisa
