Ok so maybe you have the lighting, business, client experience, and everything else down and now you just need consistent images. Not a PS expert? Good news, neither was I. These videos won't leave you in the dust, I will explain exactly what you need and then you can use my very own action to edit your images. Get this... My action has step-by-step instructions built in. Don't know what an actin is? It's ok, you are about to find out and do a happy dance.
The Composite
Are you beating your head against the wall trying to get consistent sizing on your composites? I've got your back. Here is a video of just what to do and even better, our very own PS template. I know it sounds too good to be true but it is.
Inside the Session
Are you a visual learner? If you have said to yourself, "If I could just see a session and have it explained I think I could figure it out...", This would be a great option for you. Maybe you are on the fence about using a strobe and need to see it in action before you commit. This is just what you need.

From Megan Paris
Dallas-Fort Worth
Certified Photographer
"Anna has to be the best photographer I've ever met.
I've loved working with her and all her years' worth of wisdom.
She is THE best heirloom photographer in the United States.
I've looked at just about every heirloom photographer and her work just knocks everyone out of the park.
What makes her the best photographer is her relationship with each one of her clients. They all adore her and use her child after child. She has truly captured a generation of children."

let's talk community?
Photography is lonely, and we were to share.
You love what you do—but sometimes you need real feedback from someone who gets it.
You finally nail that dream shot—but who do you tell?
You hit a wall and need to vent—but who actually understands?
That’s where we come in.
Inside the Masterclass, you’ll get access to our private community—a space built just for photographers walking the same path.
We share wins. We troubleshoot setbacks. We swap resources, editing tips, and behind-the-scenes tricks you won’t find on YouTube at 2AM.
Because this work is beautiful—but it’s not always easy.
And you were never meant to do it alone.
The community is included with your Masterclass enrollment—no extra cost, just extra support.
Come join us. Let’s build something better, together.
