about-me-3

My name is Morgan and I believe that every photographer can—and should—have both a flourishing business and an abundance of time for a thriving family life.

It’s this belief that drives my desire to create products that help beautify your art, faster!  Leaving you more time for your loved ones, your hobbies, or those other 10,000 things on your to-do list.

Whether you’re wanting beautiful actions or overlays that help take the guesswork and the wasted time out of editing, or you’d like to learn the ins and outs of editing in Photoshop manually, I’m here to assist in any way that I can!

So come on in! Let’s get learning, creating, and mastering —  so that we can get you out of that computer chair and off doing something else you love.

I live, breathe, and achieve for my two little loves, Tavon & Alani. (I still call them “little” but they’re growing like weeds and taller than me. It’s fine…everything’s fine.)

My handsome husband is my biggest supporter and best friend. Nothing says “success” to me more than his pride and belief in me. (pardon the mush)

I’ve got a pretty serious addiction to Photoshop and to acoustic folk tunes, neither of which is an obsession I plan on kicking anytime soon.

I love books. Like a seriously obsessive amount.

I believe that smiley faces are a form of punctuation, coffee is best “iced”, and that Mexican food can fix even the worst of days.

I think of myself as a “collector” of knowledge; my desk covered in stacks of notebooks full of new things I learn and jot down on a daily basis.

It should also be said that organization is not one of my strong suits, which explains why I fill several of the aforementioned notebooks with scattered information simultaneously, instead of in one notebook at a time. (And also why, at any given time, I’ve got about 20 different internet tabs open– much to my husband’s dismay! )

If you care to take a peek into my little world, you’re welcome to follow me on instagram. I’m morgan_burks on there. 🙂

Free Editing Tutorials and Resources for Photographers

When I first began my photography journey, I had a crazy thirst for knowledge that Google and YouTube just weren’t quenching as quickly as I’d hoped. Back then, there weren’t any awesome Facebook groups or workshops I could take to get access to the information I really wanted, so it took me years of trial and error to get to a place I felt happy and proud to be when it came to my editing knowledge.

It’s my hope that I can help other photographers avoid–or at least shorten–the intense amount of time I spent feeling lost and insecure about all of what I was trying to learn. I’ve packed my years of Photoshop knowledge into beautifully crafted editing products, video tutorials & training, and helpful tips. And now I’ve got them all in one spot so that you can access them whenever you please!

Because even more than I love photography and Photoshop, I love that beautifully freeing feeling that comes from being creatively inspired and I love helping others achieve their dreams.  So if you’re feeling stuck, lost, or uncertain about where to go from here — you’re in the right place!  I can’t wait to get to know you and help you turn those negative, unsure feelings into clarity and fulfillment!

Philosophy

As a photographer and a business owner who spends so much of my time online, I know first-hand the uncertainty that can come along with making online purchases – especially when it comes to purchasing digital products.

That’s why I believe in providing such a high-quality experience for my customers. When you choose to make a purchase with a company,  you’re usually choosing to make that investment after a lot of thought and consideration, and as a business owner, I don’t take that for granted. I want to make sure that any experience with me or with my products, is everything you could’ve hoped for and more!

100% customer satisfaction is what I strive to maintain here at MBP, so if you ever have a question or concern about a product, a video tutorial, or purchase you’ve made, I want to hear about it!  If you experience any hiccups with your order or are unhappy in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Email me at morgan@morganburks.com and I’ll fix the problem and ensure that your experience here is a positive one!

Services
Mission and Vision

For many, the photography industry can often feel like a harsh world. With so many photographers trying to create a name for themselves in such a heavily-saturated career field, sometimes the competition becomes overwhelming and negativity develops. Add to that the inevitable insecurities that can accompany owning your own business, and you’ve got yourself a wonderful recipe for feeling not good enough.

It’s for that very reason that I wanted to create a place where we, as artists, can overcome those feelings. As a group of creative people, we’ve all had experiences with doubt. We all know what it feels like to wonder if you’ll ever be able to achieve your dreams. It’s my mission to provide a place where you can leave the doubt behind and actually achieve them! A place where we all can learn, create, thrive, and grow!  <3

  • I’m a big fan of Morgan Burks products! I definitely love the sky overlays-it really helps to add that little something extra an image needs to give the emotion I want to portray. Sometimes everything is right in an image, but the weather just wasn’t cooperating! Pop in a beautiful sultry sky from Morgan Burkes and BAM!! There it is…Perfection!

  • Where to begin? Morgan, you are one of the most kind and helpful people I've ever known. You do not hesitate to drop everything and share your vast knowledge with anyone who needs it, and you are always gracious and responsive no matter how simple or tedious the situation is. Of all the "famous photographers" out there you are definitely the sweetest and caring I've come across. As for your products, well, all of your amazing qualities as a person shine right through your work. Your actions are the easiest to use, provide the most gorgeous results and they are truly unique. I have purchased many action sets from you as well as overlays and I can honestly say, no one does it better than you do. Using just one of your overlays can completely change an image from being alright to WOW. I have never had a bad experience with you or your products and for that I will be ever grateful <3

  • What don't I recommend of Morgan's? That's probably a better question - and the answer is nothing - because every single one of her products I've tried (I think I *might* just own the entire shop...and I've taken TWO mentoring classes with her) have been amazing!

  • I love Morgan and her products! She is always more than happy to help and has quite the knowledge of Photoshop!   I own almost every action set and overlay set she has done and love them all.  Some are subtle and some are dramatic so you can do just about anything!
