Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“I loved this. Thank you for sharing your real, and your soul. A beautiful journey shared in an incredibly emotional way, and I am left so hopeful for myself and my own journey, as well as inspired and excited to see where you are headed Meg. CJ is incredible as well. Everyone needs to see this and add this to their arsenal on their way to their own edge and beyond. I just adore this. Thank you for sharing your heart.”

Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“I've been sitting here for awhile trying to process what I want to say and I can't articulate it properly. I've only discovered you in the last month or so and my gosh....game changer! Meg's Journey Home moved me. I was crying within the first 10 minutes and I truly felt to my core the weight of what you shared. Thank you for your vulnerability and depth. I know I don't 'need' permission to create the things I have wanted to create (and haven't because of fear) but through watching this - I'm stepping over the line and 'F*** the fear.. I'm going to do it anyway. Thank you for the impact this has had on me! Truly honoured to have watched this. xx”

Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“I am SO proud of you, Meg. I never judged because I always knew there was so much more. Maybe I didn't always understand before, but I do now. Thank you. Thank you for digging deep. Thank you for showing us. Thank you for leading the way.”
— Dena Powell
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“This is about all of it. About every single thing I have seen and understood--and then realize it was not the truth I understood about Meg's pictures, but my idea of "truth", and how the beauty raw and realness of what her life and truth is stunning. I hope people buy this. I hope people watch this and say: YES. I want to speak truth. and then JUMP.”

Simple Studio: Flash
“This is a really great tutorial to have! Not only is Melody an amazing Photographer, she is a very proficient instructor! She goes into great detail about how to use a flash on and off camera, explains the different types of modifiers and when to use each, discusses camera settings and then shows examples of each (along with do(s) and don’ts). And if that’s not enough, you also get a downloadable PDF with more information! This is a great addition to Megs’ Simple Studio Collection❤️”

Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“Thank you for sharing your story, Meg & CJ. It was both inspirational, emotionally raw and insightful. Hugs lovely lady! I’m so glad I watched this one! Strangely, not only did it give me an insight to (Megs) your journey, but it also made me “think” about my own. Sometimes words fail, but images .... can capture the essence and raw emotion, which brings interpretational meaning. Interpretation of any image is uniquely to each soul, some like it some don’t. kindness.... is harshly under delivered in many situations just like this. Continue to be the kick Ass woman, the visionary and the rock that continues to emerge along your life’s path. Blessings to you.”
— Manuela Busack
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“Absolutely breathtaking. I tried to type up this big sweet beautiful review but honestly I don't think any of that could put into words what I feel after watching this. Im speechless. This was one of the most touching things Ive ever seen. Your story, your growth as a person, your STRENGTH to be able to get here.. amazing! Im so very thankful for you. This by far is greatest thing you've ever taught. Thank you again.”
— Jordan Holt
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“Here's the thing - Soulful Critique 1&2 are THE thing that I think was most influential of all things here on MBL for me. To see this full circle, with Finding Edge/Journey Home, it was like watching a movie from start to finish. Please, get all three Soulful's because I think your life will only improve upon watching them.”
— Alonna Abella
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“Meg’s Journey Home is everything! It spoke to me on such a profoundly deep level. CJ you are truly amazing in every way. Thank you Meg for sharing your story with us all.

Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“I don't usually review anything, but this hit me so deeply I had to.
My heart goes out to Meg. You can see the pain and strength in her throughout this. At times I just cried with her.
It was a good journey for me to experience as I watched. I recommend everyone watches this!”
— Marissa Mette

— Susan Wood
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“This was sooooo much more than I could have imagined! It was so amazing to see the depth of Meg's images and the deep truth and vision behind them. It is a lesson in humanity and a reminder to first seek to understand before judging the book by its cover. This should be a full length documentary!”
— Patty Haessig
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home

Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“Meg & CJ what a powerful journey. What a powerful message. Your story is uniquely you, but so many parts of it are parallel with mine. From the fire to the not being heard to getting into trouble, smoking at a really young age, riding in the back of my friends' father's cop car. Thank you for telling your journey. I can't wait to see where we go next.”
— Robin Healy

Newborn Studio: In-Home Natural Light
“This video is remarkable. So nice to see that small spaces really can work (the space that Niki shoots from in the 2nd "set-up" really is small). I would have loved to see a home that has even less light (like an apartment that has light blocked by trees and other buildings, but all in all, this was a helpful video. Plus you get some "free" wrapping tutorials, so that is cool!”
— Stephanie Pipes
Bubble Girl
“Love this tutorial. The way she explains her thought process all the way through makes this so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing Jessica!”
— Patricia Aichler
Fall in Love With Film
“This is a set of short video clips teaching you how to turn your home into a temporary darkroom. This is not a video around film photography or editing of film images in the darkroom. Having not been in a darkroom in over 12 years I had forgotten so many of these easy-but-important steps. CJ makes it easy to learn (or remember) how to load your film in the dark, how to ensure you know ratios of chemicals to water, and so on. For anyone who wants to create a temporary darkroom in their home, this is a perfect video for you.”
— Alonna Abella
Magical Gradients
“These are a game changer on the beach!!! I absolutely think they are a must have if you're shooting on the beach, and I wish you'd create more with the beach in mind, because I'd buy every one of them!”
— Kerrie Brogdon
Let There Be Light: Harshlight
“I really fell in love with this one. I struggle with the light and I enjoyed how meg slows it down. It made me really rethink about how I view shooting in the light. It’s seemed like a difficulty concept because I constantly hear not to and to only shoot and certain times of the day. This helps me not limit myself and I love how she explains. I love how she shoots full sun and shows the shade right after. So much to learn in this one. It’s a great buy.”
— Jaimie Keller
Outdoor Newborn
“Great collaboration of Meg and Niki joining their talents together. I love the concept of outdoor newborn and the fun creative ways shown here. And I must say I loved hearing how Niki soothed the baby with her humming hymns.”
— Christine Taylor

Tips and Techniques Bundle
“WOW! These are really great 👍🏻. I bought these 1....because the opening price was great and 2 .....because I get everything from Meg I can however, I wasn’t all that sure of the content after reading the description. It seemed they would be to short to be all that helpful. Boy was I WRONG! They are awesome! Great information given in a manner that is clear and easy to follow and organize in a very straightforward way. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Thanks Meg another hit!”

“This finely curated bundle is so packed full of information! They’re perfect as refreshers for seasoned professionals, a first time MBL purchase, or just to Have around to watch before going out on a shoot to get the creative juices flowing. It’s well worth the money. I even learned something about focal lengths and how portraiture is impacted, and I’ve been at this a while and taken lots of MBL classes. If you’re a first time meg buyer, this is a great starter and demonstration of her offerings!”

— Shannon Brimmer
Magical Nature Color Action
“Holy crap! I have worked really hard to get away from the overload of actions I got for Photoshop when I first started out by learning how to actually use all of the tools in the powerful beast that Photoshop is (yes, I have watched hours and hours of Meg's edits, they are amazing!) I bought this because the picture really caught my eye so I thought what the heck....I am absolutely in LOVE with this action! I tried it on some pictures I took for macro bootcamp this last week and all I could say was WOW!! I then went back through some older photo's just to see how it would behave through the seasons....I will tell you this, if you find yourself taking pictures of nature you NEED this action! It's great!”

“Love this action,made it so easy to edit pictures i made inside :D”
— Susy Peters de Fehr
Newborn Studio: 6 Weeks Old
“I really liked this course and I think it's useful for babies who are between 7-14 days old that are also awake for those days. As someone wrote earlier, it would have been beneficial to see parent posing with older babies. But overall its a good course to go with the other Newborn collection.”
— Jessica Madero

“I learned to use textures in some unexpected ways. This is a priceless tutorial that will give dimension and value to my photos and photography business.”
— Saundra Hunter
Zero to Swapping
“Another excellent class by the masterful Ben W. He is so patient, and thorough, its really an art in and of itself. He goes over SEVERAL techniques to swap elements between images... and not just people either... he also did a doggy! The only thing to make this class more useful is to have access to the images he works on, so we can follow along as he goes and practice in real time...”
— Stephanie Pipes
Zero to Clone
“This is yet another stellar Ben W. course... there is SOOOOOO much info... tools I never even knew existed! Ben, per usual, doesn't miss one detail in his concept teachings. The only thing that would have made this better is having access to the same RAW files to practice along (especially for the part where he virtually built an entire shoe!).”
— Stephanie Pipes
Zero to Print
“Ben is such a great teacher. He is meticulous in his teaching, and doesn't assume we, his students, might no one little detail... in other words he covers everything... he goes from A to B to C... and doesn't assume we might already know how to start at A. He's masterful, articulate, and smart.”
— Stephanie Pipes
Zero to Sharp
“Ben Willmore is a remarkable teacher. Many experts tend to forget to teach the "little and in-between steps," but not Ben! He is very VERY diligent in making sure we get every teensy little step. This video is great to learn some tricks for getting photos sharp (note: it will not help you fix a blurry/poorly taken picture). I highly recommend it. Have a notebook handy, and lots of time to start and stop the video.”
— Stephanie Pipes
Magical Marvelous Souls Imagined Action
“This action took alot of steps away from my editing. I was able to create a photo I wouldnt have came up with if I didnt use it. Its also really easy to use and tells you exactly what to do with each step.”
— Cynthia Napier

From Forest to Fantasy
“A great vision.., product of a great team of work. Thank you for share such a experience. I recommend this excellent edit.”
— Peace Photo PR
Stripped
“It was ok. I wish there was more teaching involved. You basically watched them do a session. You can tell they knew what they were doing and never explained why. It was good, I guess I expected more. And the models were exactly that, models. It would have been nice to see curvy girls and how they would posed them. In the beginning they talked about angles and how important they are and never ever went into it after. And when they were talking sets it would have been nice to learn how to create a layered set to compliment the client like the one they had. And not just add drugs as props. The shots were beautiful.”
— Marcy Schneider
Magical Wings
“Just a magical, beautiful and elegants wings overlays. Love the bonus too. Good and simple to understand tutorial. Cant wait to get the edit!”
— Peace Photo PR
Zero to Photoshop
“I am completely mind blown! I was hesitant to purchase this product thinking that I already knew the basics of photoshop. HA! Little did I know that I knew the very very very basics. I learned so much. Oh, and Bridge... I can not believe that I have been missing out on this for so long. Thank you so much for making these instructions easy to follow and teaching me so much.”
— Lacy Light

— Bonnie Smith
Reset: Overshooting
“This was meant for me! I always overshoot and then I DREAD editing the images because there are too many to pick from and it takes too long !”
— Trudi Smith
Zero to Sharp
“WARNING!! remember to have a notepad and pen ready! there is just so much info in this one. I have noticed posts where people feel their image lost sharpness, or looked different when posting on social media, Ben teaches you have to sharpen & save correctly for the internet, and goes a little into sharpening for print. Learning the different methods to use for sharpening and why you should use which one when! how to sharpen features & not wrinkles or uneven skin. shortcuts, workflow, saving so you can adjust later, just so much info. i love all the Zero workshops (so far i have watched Lightroom, photoshop twice, curves, skin 3 times, colour therapy) and got so much out of them. ben is an incredible teacher, so easy to understand, and so good at reinforcing things. I get aha moments out of all of them, and there was many in this one. No matter how much experience you have with photoshop i really believe you will get a lot out of this one. from now on i will start my sharpening in Lightroom, and i just feel really confident now that this will have a major impact on my editing. Thanks Ben and Meg. cheers”
— Joanne Duncan
Reset: Vision
“As the "Mandy" of this Reset, you have to know that my review would be 100 stars because this experience was incredibly profound. Then upon rewatching it in this way, I get to be blown away again and again. Even having experienced this personally, having this as a resource is amazing. I still take things away from it. I check back in here from time to time, just to hear Meg's words, and to continue to learn how to push myself, develop my vision and TRUST MY VOICE. This is a transformational experience for me, and an AMAZING resource for anyone that feels they've lost their voice, aren't living/shooting authentically, not creating in a way that speaks to them. I hope that so many people grow from this and learn, as I have, how to dig deeper and find their vision and voice so that they can grow into the person and photographer they want to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Meg, for choosing me for this journey and for teaching me so very much about myself and my soul. This was my own "Soulful Critique" and it has changed me for good.”
— Amanda Mele Daniels
The Magic in the Details – At Home
“I adore this purchase. Something I've neglected is to no only notice things in my world, but photograph them in a meaningful way. Watching and learning from Meg is (as usual) meditative and inspiring. It's helped me to learn how to see my world more clearly, to appreciate what I keep around me, to capture it in a way that speaks to me. Zero regrets buying this and watching it repeatedly. There's always a new take-away. Thank you Meg. - Mandy Mele”

Zero to Color Theory
“Another great Zero to ... workshop. As someon3 else said there is always the ah ha moments! little things that speed things up or make something easier to understand. I found this workshop very interesting, and I love the demos of how different tools can be used for the same results. The bonus downloads are brilliant, especially the colour wheel, I can’t wait to use this, asi always second guess skin tones! Cheers”
— Joanne Duncan

“This video renewed my excitement for editing, which was gone. I am proud of my images I'm posting and feel like I get more of what I envision when I begin without using a bunch of actions.”
— Shanti Clancy
Zero to Dodge and Burn
“It's hard to believe the how powerful a tool D&B is! I have been a Photoshop user for a very long time and just have not been able to unlock all the power of the tool simply because I didn't realize all you can do with it. Wow Ben, excellent video, thrilled to have it and many thanks to you and Meg for creating these easy to understand Zeri to videos. I'm just kicking myself for not getting it sooner!”
— Geri Biondich
Reset: Focus
“Hands down the best course I have purchased and watched to date. Meg works with a photographer that is struggling with focus and helps her to understand what she is not doing correctly. BUT she also shows how to make little changes to make the image more dynamic. This was such an informative class. If you are struggling with using manual focus, this is for you. There is so much information here! Thanks Meg for sharing your knowledge.”
— Saralyn JOHNSON
Digital Background: Sugar and Spice
“Absolutely beautiful! Everyone just loved this digital!! Love love these backgrounds!!”
— Nanci Harran
Zero to Curves
“Excellent, easy to follow and understand, Both meg and Ben really shine in this one. Curves is my first stop after lightroom/photoshop, and im excited to get started!”
— Joanne Duncan
Zero to Photoshop
“This workshop is incredible, Bens teaching methods, voice, the thorough way he goes through each point make this workshop a bargain at any price. I watched most of it when I first upgraded to cc, then I watched all of zero to Lightroom, and the. Came back to this, rewatched some and finished the last segments,
. Honestly, I really believe no matter how good you are at photoshop you will learn something here. So many nifty tricks, so many alternative ways of doing things. Watching these 2 workshops has cleaned up my PC, and cut editing time down by about 75%! No exaggeration! Simply brilliant, thanks Ben and Meg, cheers”

— Margaret Mizell
Zero to Lightroom
“I opened light room once when I got the new photoshop as it was bundled with it, and I had no idea! So I closed it! Sorting and editing was taking far too much time, and someone mentioned how easy Lightroom makes it. So I bought this in the sale, and it sat there! I was editing and my pics stunk when I uploaded to Facebook, so I ordered a colour monkey and sent my PC for repairs. While waiting I decided to give it another go. I have watched all of this, done of it twice, and I can’t believe how much I have learnt. And how easy Ben makes it. I watch about 45 min a day on my treadmill, and I have put all 46,000 images in the catalogue! I now feel ready to start sorting, renaming, getting rid of duplicates and basically making my life easier! Since watching overshooting I’ve got better at it, but I still have folders that need to be seriously cut down, and it’s o overwhelming. Lightroom makes it soooo much easier. When I got zero to photoshop I paid full price and it was worth every cent, and so is this one, (actually all the workshops are value for money, but we all love a sale!) ifyou have the patience when you start I strongly advise starting here, it makes photoshop look less daunting too, but mainly if you understand this, it just makes editing and sorting your whole library so much easier. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. Cheers”

Newborn Chronicles
“I really love this whole series. So much good information! I recently moved into my very own small studio and am loving having everything in one place and not having to pack up a car and go anymore. I was especially interested in the editing section. I know Photoshop pretty well but have never really used the layers for color balance and doing gradient on the background the way Nikki does (I do it differently) but now I'm excited to try her way as it gives you so much more control. Best wishes on a great New Year in your new studio!!!!”

I've learned about your work only in February of 2018, but I was able to witness the amazing growth of your online school this year and I was so impressed how fast the Facebook membership community was growing. What a fantastic work! I didn't have to look for anybody's else classes after descovering you and your style. Yours and Ben's instructions are outstanding. Can't wait to find out what is coming in 2018.”

“This course is great for explaining laying the foundations into studio lighting. Not complicating the subject of flash and slowly building up the set up once fully understanding the basics which was achieved. I was hoping that some one would ask the question as to where the focus is when doing full body. Unfortunately no one did ask and I never know if the focus should be on the middle to get all in focus or if on the eye like when doing head and shoulders? Enjoyed”

Angels On Fire
“Angels on Fire is a story of evolution, told in a series of powerful portraits. Story conception, design, styling, posing, lighting, creativity, technical details are all a part of it, but the whole is SO much greater than the sum of its parts. Each scene is entirely unique - from couture to carefree childhood to epic empowerment, I cannot imagine anyone not connecting deeply to at least a part of this, which will undoubtedly lead to self-reflection and realizations you didn't even know you were missing (and if you just really don't want to do any reflection, there's still an enormous amount to learn on the surface about many different types of portraits and the details that go into making them). AOF is somehow both incredibly simple, and intensely complex - it isn't defined by any one style or lens or model, yet it's a fully cohesive creation. If you're on any type of journey of self-discovery, prepare to need to watch it more than once, possibly in a row, possibly months apart. It will change your life if you'll let it.”
— Jessica Buono
Reset: Overshooting
“I hesitated purchasing this one (not because I didn't want it), but because I bought so many others this weekend, and I didn't think that overshooting was too big of a problem for me. After watching this, I realized that overshooting for me was not paying attention to the small details, not waiting for the right shot, and not having confidence in myself as a photographer. I am so excited for my next shoot so I can practice not overshooting! This will save me so much time during shoots and during post process. This workshop is a MUST for anyone who takes more than a couple of photos per pose/set up, or for those of us who already know we overshoot. LOVED this!”

“Fantastic! I mainly shoot wildlife rather than portraits, and come home with way too many of the same shot "in case the bird flies off" and dread the culling process. Now to try to control my urge to snap frantically and slow down, only shooting when the bird is active or the head is in the right position. It is not really possible to "pose" wildlife so I must slow down and take advantage of the opportunity when it happens rather than "spraying and praying". I have learned heaps. Thank you so much.”

Sibling Sessions
“All I can say is another EXCELLENT workshop from Meg...... I already owned the edits because I’m crazy and own every single edit of hers! Lol. That’s the best way to learn is through watching her “sneaking” tricks to editing in so many different ways! No two are the same or take the same approach! Now with all that being said.... I bought this course because I wanted to see, “learn” how these shots were taken! So for me, again, I didn’t buy because it came with two edits..... I bought it to get the knowledge through Meg’s eyes on how she achieved to capture each image and the bbbus edits are sure nice, but if you are on the fence. Bout purchasing this course because you may have “own” the edits already....... Don’t you want to see how she accomplished capturing these images to edit? Well I sure did! I wish every edit I own came with the “how factor, and the why” factor she captured each image to edit in the first place.....
It’s on sale right now for $19 so you can’t beat that price to get to go behind Megs eyes/camera, thought process, composing to be able to capture such beautiful images to edit!
Thank you meg for offering the Behring look at achieving such great images. If you don’t have a great image SOOC to edit in the first place, then you have nothing to edit. I love that I have all her exits to be able to learn things I can do to my images to improve the overall look.... bug again, if I can’t capture that image on my own, then I don’t have much to practice her editing style on and then broaden my horizons and create a look that I can call my own style. Just because she edits her photos in a certain way, doesn’t mean I will edit my photo in the same manner..... her examples just open the doors, and my eyes to see different approaches that are a possibility and then I can take that to a different level and create my own style with what I learned. This is a well done course on “how” to capture stunning images, the bonus is the two edits that come with it to learn editing styles from!

“I believe that it is so important to be able to see yourself on so many different levels through different filters and experiences. And to understand who you are and why you feel, think, say, do..... This is a powerful video that I feel is one of the best options you'll come across to get your wheels turning about who you are and what you stand for and how you will bring it all out as an artist.
THIS VIDEO IS WORTH the time and funds. If you are on the fence, stop wasting your time being uncomfortable when you can be laying in bed watching this video and learning about yourself and your art on a deeper cut.”
— Gia Randazzo
Maternity: Stripped
“It is so interesting how we all see things so differently. Like Meg shoots from a distance, I like to be right there with my client experiencing with them. Meg has visions in her head about how the scene would look, I would never put a pregnant woman laying on steps because in my mind it looks like she has fallen.
This is a good video for beginners. Meg is good at showing you that you do not need a studio to create a vision. In this video, you will learn a lot about ARCHING your clients back. And overall making sure they elongate their bodies. She gives a lot of facts quickly at the beginning that should be written down to make sure you take it in regarding lighting.
I believe there is a lot to take away from this video. I personally just enjoyed experiencing someone else's photo session. I feel it will make me more comfortable in my sessions knowing how different I am from others. It's all so great, we all have common goals but different styles.”
— Gia Randazzo
Stripped
“Having been involved in the past with an online boudoir workshop where both Miranda and Meg were involved, I was excited to see them in the same video shooting at the same time together!
There's a great juxtaposition of seeing how similar and different Meg and Miranda shoot - this allows for you to see which way you may be more inclined to shoot and learn about the other option in the process. You get to see each of Meg and Miranda's images as they shoot, as well as a comparison of the two so there's room for learning about things such as; distance from the subject, level the photographer is shooting at, and the poses themselves.
I do wish there had been a bit more of the prep work before a session starts involved. Such as topics like hair/make-up choices (Miranda covered clothing but not much was discussed about hair/makeup) as well as more of the process of what goes into before a session even happens (talking to a client to better understand their body image complaints and poses for the common complaints for instance.) This is one area that I know may also come from experience but is a common question out there that photographer's new to boudoir wish they had more help with in the process.
This is a great starter course for any wanting to learn about boudoir and you are learning from two very talented photographers in the process which makes this course well worth it no matter your level of photography.”

Zero to Print
“I would give this more than 5 stars if I could, that's how helpful this class was to me! I have been struggling for over a year with the color on my screen seeming so much better than other venues I have viewed my photos on, and I didn't know why. More importantly, I've been back and forth with the lab I use as to how to know that what I send them is what I will get back. They were helpful in part, but never mentioned color profiles specific to their printer. I was not familiar with Soft Proofing, and now I feel thrilled to understand all of this. This is no longer a source of great concern for me. Ben does a fabulous job of explaining it all, in terms of what you need to know and understand, and how to do it. He also assures you that some of it you don't need to know what the technical term means, just that it plays an important part and which one(s) to use. Whether you print your own photos, or send them out to be printed, this class is a must for understanding that what you see is what you're going to get. Thank you so much, Ben, for doing this class and Meg for offering it!!”

Each second was wonderful, but the ending of the last one stopped me in my tracks. Powerful, in a way that that tiny little overused word does not begin to convey.

There's not a whole lot I can add to what has already been said, so I would simply ask Niki to keep giving us those little details, no matter how small or insignificant you might think they are, like the positioning of the headband for example (loved it!). Attention to detail matters, imo. As far as the other big-ticket learnings go, I imagined being there with your student and felt nervous but also felt your patience and understanding for those of us new to newborns.

“I don’t even know why this one doesn’t have as many reviews so far. People need to know this is a GREAT workshop. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for to achieve a Painterly Look. In the past I invested a lot of money and time trying to learn how to achieve this look and FINALLY got it.
When I watched the trailer I was not sure. I was on the fence! But reminded myself that Meg has always been a good investment and there was always something to learn. I thought I would end with that swirly look but NOPE! You will learn to control the look completely and where you want it. You will also learn to process it through a very different “non-invasive” process. Even when you are doing if you want to change something about it you can go back and change it. WOW! Seriously WOW Ben Willmore thank you SO much. You are always very thorough.”

The Journey Edits
“This was one of my first investments. And there hasn’t been a day I regret getting it. I try to be very thrifty when buying online courses. Mainly because I have fell for those people who sell very expensive courses and do not meet the expectations.
That being said, Sarah’s images are very “ordinary.” You can try to take a similar one any time. Then you can perform the edits she does. You can turn images that look ‘Meh’ into ‘Wow! That’s beautiful!”
This course is a steal! It’s worth every single penny. I have told Sarah how many times I love her edits and it’s true. I’ve learned SO SO much from her and Meg. Learning to edit her way VS Meg is not very different though. The difference would be that Sarah adds one color and Meg adds another color. But other than that, the methods are the same. Those differences help you understand more about editing and WHAT exactly you want to achieve. In the end you will develop your own “photographer eye” and your own style.
Thanks Sarah, Meg and team for this great course!! I can’t wait for the next edits ❤️
What you get is a bunch of edits and you get to see her edit. My suggestion is that you perform the same edit on a similar photo and keep doing it for some time. After that”

Reset: Posing
“What I most got out of Reset: Posing was seeing the difference in Meg's vision and Melissa's vision. Instead of Meg shooting and then sharing with Melissa, we got to experience Melissa's vision first, Meg's second, and Melissa's newly-gained-knowledge vision last. For me, that process allowed me to see growth and change in "real-time" and gain my own knowledge.
This is not like Posing Bootcamp however; it is not going to have an abundance of information about different poses and what to do/not to do. Melissa has complete freedom to pose as she wishes, as does Meg. You can still learn about posing in this course, and there are many non-posing tips that I found very helpful. (Including now obtaining a hand-held leaf blower)
Rated 4/5 due to less posing tips/suggestions than expected compared to bootcamp but no complaints outside of that.”

“THIS is what I think everyone has been looking for. DETAILED instructions and WHYs and HOW's and best practices.
While watching someone go through a workflow is great but there is minimal instructionals when done that way, some instruction and pointers, but not in depth.
Niki covers the little details in this tutorial. Toes, fingers, legs, head positionings, and most importantly the WHYs and WHY NOTS of various things.(guidelines)
What NOT to do with the lighting, best practices for angles, how to take a good photo to great with composition.
And she goes in depth about various safety issues which is great!
I have all of the other newborn series and this by far has been the most informative! It was great to watch the other tutorials and get ideas about a more efficient workflow but I found her often doing things and not really explaining them so it left me with questions. Or rearranging baby, or even something subtle like moving their toes or fingers a tinnnyy bit I at home found myself trying to look around the camera (HAH) on my monitor and I'm asking "WHY?!, how, what did that minor adjustment to baby do?! what are some good pointers to get the baby in that perfect squishy pose (like heel to crack is a good guideline!) I think it definitely helps having a student there, it helps the instructor teach someone instead of just talking to a camera. It also makes sure the student (and us watching at home) understand it more. It also gives the student an opportunity to ask or clarify things that we were also wondering here at home!
Definitely hands down the first video you should get in Niki's series.
Thanks Niki!”

“I have so many tutorials purchased relating newborn photography and this is a workshop I recommend to all beginners and proficient photographers. Niki goes in depth with angles and composition with the student, something that I always miss in other tutorials. Next day after purchasing this I had a newborn session and put into practice all the new things learned. I have also the Newborn: Client workflow, and I can't wait to re-watch it. After being on newborn photography since 2014, I feel I haven't reach the top of my learning curve and I love to keep updated”

Let There Be Light: Harshlight
“I love the Let There be Light series. I knew that the settings work together, but I didn't know which to adjust first. Both the Harsh light and Overcast workshops explain which to change and when. I can't wait to go out and practice in both situations.”

“Meg! What you are doing is just AMAZING!!! I love your style and love to observe your work with post production <3 There is so much to learn from your tutorials! THANK YOU!!! :)”
— Karolina Chmielewska
Overcast
“I always struggle with how to make overcast images "pop" more and I want to learn to make the best of an overcast shoot. This video really lets you see Meg's thought process behind each adjustment layer and is easy to follow. All of the adjustments culminate in a gorgeous image with beautiful tones and natural-looking illumination of the subject. I can't wait to try it on my own overcast photos. Thanks Meg!”

Sunlit Baby Doll
“Another beautiful edit by Meg. I picked this one especially because I have a niece that I would love to try this type of photo shoot with. This precious little one looks like a baby doll. Stunning finish”

The Workshop
“The Workshop is perfect for all of us who are struggling to find our place, and our vision - there's a little of everything, so many different lighting and posing scenarios, so many variables that I think it's impossible for something in there not to speak to everyone, and to help us realize a lot of possibilities and potential in what we see and what we dream of creating. The discussion is, as always, so much more than just talking about photography - you'll think a lot about the how, but most importantly, about your why. The Workshop doesn't teach everything - you won't just watch it and be able to master the studio/forest/urban/everything - but it has a million helpful reminders and tips and is a great starting place, or a great refining place, no matter where you are on your journey. Whether you own all of the others, or none of Meg's Workshops, this one is worth buying!”

Reset: Vision
“Really had me thinking about how I throw a session together and how I shoot it lately. I truly need to slow down number one. Also, I think I'm just burning out and this has me realizing I need to start getting inspired again and just shooting for me again. What a really good workshop for those who feel like they are a little scattered, a little lost and need to be brought back to why we started this in the first place. A must watch for sure!”
— Barb Anderson
The Workshop
“What is your calling, what is your purpose? The timeless question. Meg your are a phenomenal photographer. However, teaching photography is your calling, your positive, supportive, raw encouragement. The manner in which you explain photography, light, posing is conducive to learning. All of that is why I keep buying more, I can't get enough Meg. I have been buying your workshops, & videos for about 8 months, and I believe I'm going to find my voice in photography.”
— Robin Healy
Let There Be Light: Harshlight
“Game changer for sure, I photograph lots of small children and families, and especially in the summer, it's always a balance between shooting during "good" light, or shooting when kids are tired and cranky. Seeing the side-by-sides of the same girl, similar scene, in (properly posed) full sun and in shadow, really made it hit home for me - watched this, then went out the next day to shoot twin 2 year olds at 11am in full sun, and couldn't believe the difference in my mindset and the images. It's kind of a combination between Let there Be Light and No Excuses - as long as you have reasonable expectations for the final product (these aren't going to be dreamy golden hour images, but they also don't need to have harsh shadows or blown out skies!), there's no reason you can't make gorgeous images in harsh light. Love it, thank you again for hearing us and addressing our issues!”
— Jessica Buono
Reset: Posing
“I almost didn't purchase this as well, because I did the April Posing Bootcamp, and wasn't sure what else this could teach (not that I'm an expert by any means, I just thought I had this topic covered as far as buying videos) - but what I was missing was how differently this teaches! Reset: Posing is excellent - seeing how a student does it, then seeing the improvements Meg makes on every scene and pose, with great explanations, really helps it hit home, and shows so clearly how to notice and adjust all of the little details to get it right before shooting. I'm not even very interested in shooting stylized children's portraits, but the lessons here apply to so many other types of shoots. Another amazing Workshop, thank you Meg!!”
— Jessica Buono
Reset: Focus
“I managed to capture catch lights in my daughter's eyes after watching this video. I almost cried with joy when this photo uploaded onto my computer last night. I am just beginning my photography journey, but thank you Meg and crew for helping me along my way!”

“This is by far the best purchase I made! I thought I had a great grasp on focus and realized quickly I didn't quite have a good grasp on it. Meg thank you so much for this video and your willingness to share your knowledge and talent with us! Not only did I take away so much information but so much confidence to be better! The session I shot right after watching this is the best session I have had! I recently purchased Reset Posing and can't wait to watch that one!”

“Amazing! I loved everything about this workshop, especially the last ten minutes. I will try to shoot more for me now. We all have stories that we can incorporate into our images. Thank you for showing us that. I loved Erin's honesty and Meg's message to her. Thank you for showing us how we can go deeper with our images and allow us to be comfortable with who we are as photographers and with other aspects of our lives.”

“I took my sharpest picture ever after watching Reset Focus. This workshop is unbelievably good! If you are on the fence about purchasing this course, just do it! You will not regret it. This is a must have in your Meg collection. I related to Rebecca so many times watching this. Meg was so gentle and so helpful. I knew Meg was a talented photographer, but to watch her teach was amazing. I love her message, do YOU!! We are all perfectly imperfect!! Go buy it right now!”

Let There Be Light: Harshlight
“Love, love, love Meg’s teaching style!!! She shows us the right and wrong way. And what happens in each situation. I already knew about my reflector, looking for shadows on the face, and getting the highlights in the hair, but only during the golden hour. However, I still looked for open shade to put my subjects in. Now, I’m super excited to get some of my cousins kids out modeling for me and Im going to use the gold side of the reflector, highlights in the hair in the sun, and tilting the head to a door those harsh shadows. Thank you Meg for sharing your talents with us.”

Let There Be Light: Harshlight
“This is a very informative course on using light and working with shadows. I feared shooting in full sun, but will now admit I am looking forward to it. Meg has so many great tips and tricks to make images work with the light provided. I would highly recommend this course!”
— Stacey Brock
Let There Be Light: Harshlight
“I really enjoyed these videos. Meg does a wonderful job of showing you where she's putting the subject and explaining why. I appreciated the angles from which this was filmed also; we could see the light move on the subject's face as Meg directed her and get a clear picture of what she was going for. I will say that an editing video would have made this stronger (although I knew when I bought it that it wasn't included). The promo photo is GORGEOUS and I would love to see it edited!”

I have a hard time with the super cute poses, and I love being able to tell my clients that all those super cute photos of baby in adorable places are done digitally, leaving baby 100% safe. To me that is the biggest take away from this workshop.”

Thank you, Meg, for not only teaching but giving the confidence through your explanations to go out and apply it.”

I mean my subjects are sweet grandchildren and places that I visit but no, not just for me. I always wondered how you did those shots in the street. Thank you for the safety specifics of such a shot.”
