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, an old hard drive, and some random folder you haven’t opened in years. 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 waterfowl on their migrating flight path (fingers-crossed, because there’s no guarantee), and wetland marsh landscapes in late fall at Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre. Then, we transition to a guided, screen-supported session where you’ll learn the tools to make those images sing.
Why an In-Person Workshop? Because 100% Beats 15%

What You’ll Experience

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
“Would I attend another workshop with Cobi? In a heartbeat.”
Meet Your Instructor: Cobi Sharpe
Hellooo, I’m Cobi! I believe the real magic in photography happens when your vision and your tools finally align. I’ve spent years helping women cut through the noise and reclaim their creativity, and editing is a huge part of that journey. My goal is to make Lightoom feel less scary and more like a playground for your imagination. I’m here to show you that with the right guidance, you can finish your photos with your own style and create art that is uniquely yours.
