My new Color Workshop is officially live!

The way an image feels, the mood, the tension, the warmth, often comes down to color decisions most people don’t even realize they’re making.

Inside, I break down how color actually works, from theory and light, to technical control, palette building, and editing with intention. This isn't just "here's the color wheel." While we do cover foundations, theory, and how our eyes actually perceive color, this workshop goes much deeper.

100+ page PDF
25+ in-depth video lessons
Printable charts
Tons of hands-on exercises

Two ways to join: Guided (available till March 12th) or Self-Guided.

If you’ve ever wanted your color to feel more cohesive, cinematic, and intentional, this is for you.

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be teaching at WPPI this year! It’s one of my favorite events of the year. Equal parts inspiration, learning, and community, and I would absolutely love to see some familiar faces there.

This March I’ll be teaching three sessions focused on cinematic storytelling, light, and color:

March 2
Lighting Summit: Balancing Light & Color: Creating Consistent, Cinematic Imagery

March 3
The Art of Storytelling Through Light and Color

March 4
Photo Walk: Off-Camera Flash for Creative, Story-Driven Portraits

If you’ve been wanting to dive deeper into building intentional, emotion-driven images, these classes were created with you in mind.

You can still save 20% on your WPPI registration with my code:

It would mean so much to connect in person, create together, and spend a few days immersed in photography!

New Editing Profile Launch! I’m so excited to finally share Colorhouse, my Creator Profile built in partnership with Imagen.

It’s built from my love of cinematic color... retro reds, vivid cyans, warm undertones, and cool grounded greens. Think rich storytelling tones and a nostalgic, film-like mood in a single click.

For launch, Imagen is offering 12% off Dec 10–12 using code: COLORHOUSE

Hope you love it as much as I do!

Maximize efficiency with Imagen AI and Meg Loeks's AI Profile, offering rapid edits in her unique style.

Autumn is one of the most magical times to photograph here in the Upper Peninsula. Golden light, cozy sweaters, and vibrant color everywhere you look. Between the crisp mornings and the Halloween mischief, this season feels straight out of a storybook.

These fall portraits were captured using natural and created light to bring out the warmth and depth of the season.

The course officially starts on June 2nd and includes: over 180 page PDF, 32 videos (BTS, pullbacks, settings, full edits and more), exercises, assignments, small group zoom chats (full participation only) and more. In this creative online workshop we explore detail and nuance, narrative structures, creative inspiration through many mediums, light (both natural and added) and how it shapes mood and influences color and clarity, exploration of color to deepen our artistic vision, self portraiture, composites and more! It's designed for artists to push themselves creatively and explore emotive portraiture with a strong narrative foundation, placing heavy emphasis on ordinary spaces and environments.
