Editing can be a frustrating time-suck... but it doesn't have to be! In Steal My Edits, I pull back the curtain and show you exactly how I edit, step by step. No more second-guessing, no more fighting with your images, no fluff - just real, practical techniques that will transform the way you approach editing.

This course includes:
✔ 20+ in-depth videos breaking down my full editing process
✔ 140+ before-and-afters with detailed explanations of how I achieved each look
✔ Side-by-side profile comparisons so you can see what actually works
✔ My approach to grain, retouching, exporting, and more—because the details matter
✔ Techniques for editing in every season, every type of lighting, every location

I don’t just show you what I do—I teach you why I do it, so you can develop your own confident, consistent editing style. If you’re tired of guessing and want a clear, practical guide to editing beautiful images in any situation, this is the course for you.

Steal my process. Steal my techniques. Steal my edits. Let’s go!

editing can be so much easier, promise!

Note: my process is built on The Archetype Process (TAP) profiles, and they are a must-buy if you want to get the most out of this course! These color profiles emulate film scans, and are absolutely essential to my work. I personally use several profiles, but as long as you have one pack, you're good to go! You can apply my methods with any of the profiles, and I highly encourage you to choose your personal favorites.

If you're new to TAP profiles, I recommend starting with Green Pack I (Fuji 400h), Yellow Pack I (Portra 400), or Yellow Pack II (Portra 800). All are fantastic options, and you can't go wrong! My top two faves are Green Pack I and Yellow Pack II. You can browse the examples on TAP's website, and go with your gut when it comes to making your choices. If you purchase 2+ packs together, you'll get a sweet discount! 

And either way, these profiles have been worth every penny and more. I can't recommend them highly enough!

don't forget your tap profiles!

Whew, so much! This course contains over 20 videos of me editing. I'll walk you through the profiles themselves, plus my approach to editing with both the green and yellow packs, how I decide on a profile, and the differences (and similarities) between them.

I'll walk you through my edits step-by-step and explain why I do what I do. You'll also find videos of me editing more quickly, still explaining my adjustments but covering it more quickly as you gain confidence.

I've included over 140 before-and-after images, with every adjustment I've made listed alongside them - and the camera body, lens, and settings I used to take the photo. 

And we're not done yet - I've also included examples submitted by my students to showcase images taken on Canon and Nikon cameras, not just my Sony! Your camera really doesn't matter with these profiles, but they're included to build your confidence even further.

"10/10 recommend, no notes."

Yes, you absolutely do - but if you don't have them yet, they're well worth the purchase. If you like the colors you see in my work, you'll probably like Green Pack I or Yellow Pack II best, so I'd recommend starting with one or both of those.

If you're new to TAP or to color profiles in general, don't stress!!! TAP offers tons of information on their profiles and how to download and install them, and their Facebook group is a great resource as well.


Q: Do I need the TAP profiles for this course?

Q: What format is the content?

Q: Do I need to have the same style as you to get this course?

Q: Is this for beginners or more experienced photographers?

The lessons are a mix of video and written/visual content. I have tons of editing videos, but you'll also get to see the adjustments I made in Lightroom laid out next to the edited images. No need to try to figure out my final edits from the video - it's all displayed clear as day, promise!

Of course not, but this course is best for those who are aiming to achieve a similar style. You can edit a million different ways using the TAP profiles, and I'll teach you how to create the style you see in my work. I'll also teach you why I edit like I do, so that you can take that knowledge and adapt it to your own preferences. It doesn't matter if you prefer warmer or cooler, darker or brighter, etc. As long as you generally vibe with my style, this will work great for you.

My course is suitable for anyone who wants to edit similarly to my style (and to run with it and make their style their own!). Beginning or advanced, all are welcome here.

Have questions? I've got answers!

Q: Do you cover indoor and outdoor edits?

You betcha! And you'll get to see how I work with my images rather than against them. Editing is so much easier and so much more fun when we can find the beauty in whatever is in front of us, rather than trying to make it something it was never intended to be.

"The money that I invested in working with Hannah is the best money spent in my whole photography career."

I'm Hannah.

I've been a family and newborn photographer since 2014, and I have a passion for equipping other photographers to succeed. 

I spent several years running a business that, quite honestly, crushed me. I never felt good enough. I never had enough clients. I never made enough money. I was alone, and I really didn't know where to go next. Often, I wanted to quit.

Thankfully, the story didn't end there: I made major changes to my business and transformed it, and raised my prices above four figures (with no IPS or sales!). Not only did my art flourish and my business thrive - so did my family. I went from contributing modestly to our family, to retiring my husband from a toxic career and fully supporting our family of six on my income alone.

It didn't happen overnight, but it DID happen. And I am absolutely over the moon that I get to teach other photographers to thrive - on a much faster timeline and with none of the pain!

If I did it, you can too.
