The Ultimate Editor's Package
Hi! Melissa here!
When I started editing, editors weren't even a thing! Lightroom had just come out as the latest and greatest software, and photographers were secretly outsourcing their editing to people like me because it wasn't on brand to hire an editor.
I established the life I wanted by creating this job where I could work from home, raise my babies, and also help unload the stress of editing off photographers. It is my dream job! I have been able to consistently grow my clientele, my business and my income over the years, doing something that brings me joy everyday.

How was the Piper Post Method birthed?
I assisted a busy wedding photographer, occasionally serving as her second shooter. She actually taught me the basics of editing! If I opened up Lightroom on my own, I would never have known what it was fully capable of. I really enjoyed the embrace of beauty a wedding photographer experienced but if I was honest, the thought of shooting two weddings every weekend year round exhausted me. So I created Piper Post, my editing company!
I embraced my introverted home-body and scaled a business from my laptop. I enjoyed raising my three beautiful children at home, traveling, and having work friends all around the world.
I consistently edit 250-300 weddings per year and work approximately 7-8 months out of the year!
I can teach you how to take the mountain of editing and subjugate it to a mole hole! Confidence and security come from accessing the knowlesge of someone who has gone before you.
Who is this for?
Stay At Home Momma's!

Photographers!
Are you tired of outsourcing and looking for ways to cut back on expenses?

Would you love to be able to edit a wedding start to finish in one work day? This course is for you!
Anyone looking to add a stream of income!
It's rough out there. The economy is feeling it and finances are too. Even if you want to keep your day job and edit on the side, there is a place for you in this industry! Editing is the perfect job to do when you need a brainless activity to keep your hands busy while listening to your favourite podcast or watching shows in the background. Least stressful job ever!

Let's Talk About What It's Going To Take...
Editing is not an easy task especially if you're having to learn on your own. I am self taught and have made so many mistakes, but I believe I can help you avoid the challenges I faced.
Editing in Lightroom is like learning another language. Not only is it challenging to understand the shortcuts and tools that Lightroom has to offer, but it's also a struggle when you know the look you're trying to achieve but you don't know how to get there. Whether you're looking to start your own business editing, or just a side hobby for some extra income, discouragement will come as you are learning something new!
Fortunately, once you have become proficient in the inner workings of Lightroom, your muscle memory and trained eye will help you to be faster through the tips and tricks in my course!
