Worried that you will never have digital organization and peace in your life?

Technology is not your friend and you have nightmares about loosing precious images from a day that can never be replicated.
Do you have disorganized and chaotic storage practices?
You are a successful photographer to the public. But you are drowning in work on the back end since you were never taught how to organize Lightroom to save time while culling and have a drawer full of unlabeled hard drives.
Is Your Computer Struggling to
Keep Up?
You've started a photography business, but now your computer is running so slowly due to the thousands of RAW images on your hard drive. You have multiple folders with Lightroom catalogs all over your desktop and your editing off your external hard drive.
Do you love the process of creating images but not what happens after?
You became a photographer because you love creativity and connection, not backing up huge files and making sure everything is labeled properly.

I just started my photography business, and this course was just what I needed!

I've Been There...
I’ve been a photographer ever since I can remember. I was always the one documenting junior high school dances, school trips, friend hangs, and special family occasions. My love for photography continued to grow in high school, where I was a new magazine photographer for one of the best high school publications in the state, and my junior year I became the photo editor.
I quickly learned that file organization and systems were crucial for publishing a story.
My senior year of high school, I had the honor of being editor-in-chief, and one day, my Turquoise Macbook (remember when they came in colors?!) crashed.
I learned the hard way that I needed to have multiple backups in multiple locations. That night I had to redesign the whole magazine, reshoot photos, and hunt down writers for their original drafts. I vowed then to never make the same mistake again.
The Blueprint to better backups & lightroom organization
A self-paced Lightroom and photo organization course for photographers who want to clean up their Lightroom and backup system while saving time with their culling and editing process.

how it works
Laurel got her groove back:
“I now have the information I need to set up systems that work for me and my clients from the beginning. It was a no-brainer when I saw Bethany's course offering- worth every penny! It was fantastic!!”
Mallory streamlined her business
“I had always been someone who eventually had to delete folders and used 1 catalog, moving to a catalog system for each gallery has really helped my workflow and system.”
A year from now you will have wished you started today...
So let's get started
Yes, It Really Works
kate no longer has to worry about her back-end system
“An answered prayer for photographers who are focused on clients and need a better back-end to make sure their business is running efficiently..”
This course addresses all of the things photographers need and utilizes every day, but likely not to maximum benefit. I LOVED when she shared her own galleries and approaches to capturing certain shots. I also loved when she shared certain actions to take with clients before a session to ensure their future satisfaction.
aisha now has more time to devote to shooting
“I was surprised how this course made organization and backing up your work seem a lot less overwhelming.”
From computer and Lightroom catalog clean up, backing up your work, to pre-and post photo session workflows, and ways to speed up your editing strategy --it's chock full of practical tips and tricks to help you run a much more efficient photography business.
laurel gained the confidence she needed to scale her business
“I now have the information I need to set up systems that work for me and my clients from the beginning. ”
It was a no-brainer when I saw Bethany's course offering- worth every penny! It was fantastic!! She has so much knowledge from her years of experience as a photographer and teaches in such a relatable and accessible way. I often dread the tech and organization side of the business and this course is helping me gain so much confidence!

I want to save you the tears, headaches, and stress of losing images you & your clients love.
Trying to recover lost photos ranges from $800-$10,000 and that doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get back your images. No backup system is 100% perfect, and there are countless ways to run your business. I am sharing what has worked for me in the 12 years I’ve been a professional photographer, and throughout this course I’ll also share other ways that people in the industry do things differently and why so that you have options and can consider how you would like to organize your LR and photo backup systems.
I was tired of THE DREAD I FELT opening my computer and not knowing what I’ll find.
“I have already started implementing what I learned, and I'm glad I have more time to focus on what I love to do most -- shoot!”
I was surprised how this course made organization and backing up your work seem a lot less overwhelming.

more about me
You're don't have to be a tech genius to have your systems in place. But if you're anything like me, you need help to take your systems to the next level. You just want someone to tell you what works.
I read countless blog posts explaining how I could create smart previews, alter metadata, and organize with ease but most of them just had snapshots of a system or they just had a list of best practices or tips. I needed a step-by-step process to hang in my office. I didn’t need tips or tricks, I needed a total transformation re-do.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've taken Lightroom courses before, how is this different?
Most Lightroom courses focus on editing photos but don't do a great job of explaining the concepts and workflow behind Lightroom catalogs. I've done all the wrong things so that I can teach you the right things. I won't just give you one way to do things, I'll give you multiple roads and you can choose the path that's best for you. Systems change as we grow but it's important to establish best practices in the place where you are now. You won't learn all the features of Lightroom, but you'll learn everything you need to organize photos using open standards and industry best practices.
Do I need Lightroom to benefit from this course?
Yes. It's $10/month to subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan which includes the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic and Adobe Photoshop.
My clients don't use Lightroom, will this course still be useful to me?
Absolutely! Everything in this course is based on open standards and industry best practices, so all the work you do for your clients (creating a core file structure, assigning industry-standard metadata, renaming files, etc.) is accessible even if they don't use Lightroom.
What's the difference between Lightroom Classic and Lightroom?
Lightroom Classic is what we will be focusing on for this course. A course on Lightroom for mobile is in the works so keep an eye out!
What's the cost of the software used in this course?
Adobe Lightroom Classic is the core of the course and is available for only $10/month which also includes the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. There are a few other tools I recommend but most of them are free!
not sure if this is for you?
I completely understand. Investing in courses for your back end system isn't fun and glamorous, but it will set you up for success in your photography business.
