Side Note: I’m keeping this group small on purpose, so everyone gets meaningful attention.
Application is on a first come, first served basis. If you click JOIN NOW below and you are able to join then you’re in – a spot was open. If you click JOIN NOW and it shows the group as closed, then that means no spots are open – check back as they will come open and I won’t be able to notify you.

Who’s it For?
🎯 Who This Is For
-
Photographers Who Want Honest Direction
You’re ready for thoughtful feedback that helps you improve – not just encouragement. - You’re not sure how much editing is enough…
And you want to bounce some before/after’s or your final results off of me for feedback. -
You need help choosing the right photo from the bunch
If you’re stuck and having a hard time choosing which photos to work on, I can help. -
You’re stuck and want ideas on how to improve
One of the ways I can really help is by helping you get un-stuck and giving you ways to keep moving forward. -
People Who Value A Smaller, Focused Environment
You prefer meaningful conversation over a noisy public group.
What’s New?
🚫 Who This Is Not For
- If You Want Step-By-Step Presets Or Tutorials
This space focuses on understanding and direction, personalized questions and answers – not tutorials. -
If You’re Not Comfortable Receiving Thoughtful Feedback
Feedback will be respectful – but also honest. -
If You want me to fix your Lightroom catalog mess
There is nothing I can do to fix your Lightroom Catalog. -
If You have Software Crash issues or Tech Support Questions
I can’t help you with either of those. Only the software company can.
Expectations
-
You’ll be able to post questions and photos anytime for help shooting, direction, help choosing your strongest work, and editing thoughts.
-
I’ll be actively involved nearly every day, but this IS NOT an on-demand critique or fix-my-photo queue. You’ll get answers in less than 24 hours, and likely much faster.
-
The goal is steady improvement through thoughtful discussions with me over time. That’s how you get better.
What’s Your Blindspot?
One of the ways I’ve gotten better at the things I care about (both work and hobbies) is by asking people better than me, “What’s my blind spot? What am I not seeing?”.
As I result I’ve developed a good eye to help you find yours, so that you can improve.
When is enough editing, really enough?
One of the most popular issues I hear is that I don’t know when to stop editing. By using my system to identify the reasons why you’re editing that specific photo in the first place, we’ll help develop the sense for when you should stop.
Again, this will all be done by you submitting photos to me, so I can help guide you as you’re learning.
Picking your keepers… getting rid of the rest
I also realize that many times you don’t know which photo is the best of the group. My system will help you figure this out, while at the same time giving you an area to upload various photos where I can give you my thoughts on which is the best.
Honest Direction on What to Fix
Whether it’s shooting and in-camera fixes, or editing fixes, I’ll be able to simplify things for you and give you honest feedback on what to fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have something going on right now, can I still sign up?
The group flows between being full and having a few spots open. People join… people leave.
So if you’d like to sign up now, then you will begin your billing on that day. But I can’t hold a spot for you for a time that is more convenient. Just keep checking back.
After that you will be billed monthly and you can participate as much as you’d like.
When will this start and who is it for?
The group has started already and been active since early February.
People will drop out over time, and spots will open. If you click “JOIN NOW” above, and you’re able to join, then it is open.
If you get a message the group is closed, just keep checking back, as spots do open.
Is there a contract or can I cancel anytime?
There is no contract. You will be billed monthly but you can cancel anytime.
I don't shoot nature or outdoor photos. Is this for me?
While I feel I have a good handle on most genres of photography and can help you, here are my specialties: Wildlife, Nature, Outdoor, and Landscape. If you want to build an amazing sports or beauty portrait portfolio, I can give you suggestions on what resonates with me, but my strong point is going to be overall outdoor photography.
Do I need specific software?
No. From an editing perspective I’ll give you direction with what you use. But it’s not about specific software tutorials.
What skill level is this aimed at?
This is for any skill level, from beginner to advanced. I’ve taught every aspect of this for nearly 30 years and I can help point you in the right direction regardless of your current abilities.
