Photographers… I see you. I see you out there doing about seven people’s jobs on your own. Those beautifully-curated Instagram feeds don’t upload themselves! Then there’s the back-and-forth-and-back-again messages, the equipment upkeep and upgrading, the admin and accounting, the route and time planning, the technical set-up, the on-the-spot problem solving, and of course the painstaking hours you spend after a shoot, squinting at your screen to crop, level and adjust those colors to perfection.
That’s far too many hats for one head.
Think of us as a babysitter for your business. We don’t have to be around every night, but for those evenings where you just need to escape out of the house, it’s good to know there’s someone trustworthy to call on at the last minute.

The Process
-
Grab your fav drink and let’s meet over video chat to get to know each other, go over your style and details, and talk next steps!
-
Answer a few questions to help me best understand and match your style.
-
Capture your beautiful images. Once you get them uploaded and culled (unless you want me to cull for you!), you will export a LR catalog with Smart Previews and send it over to me through a link I provide. Don’t worry, I will provide detailed instructions for this whole process :)
-
I will spend time culling (if you wish) and editing each image to match your style. This includes applying preset (if applicable), color correction, exposure/white balance, HSL adjustments, cropping, masking, etc.
Within 3-5 business days, I will send you a link to review the edited images. Through this, you will see each photo that I have edited and either approve or request additional editing. Once your review is completed, I will send you an invoice, and get started on adjustments to your final catalog.
-
After receiving your review, I will make the final adjustments, and send back to you the Lightroom Catalog including all of the images Smart Previews that you sent me, culled and edited for you to sync with your original images. This way, you can see all of the edits that I made, and if you want to include any images that I culled out, they're still there and you can export as you please!
FAQS
-
We edit in both Lr & LrC - for either one you will need the most up to date version in order for us to be able to edit your catalogs.
For Lr (the cloud version) you will just share your catalog with us virtually, you don’t need to send anything through WeTransfer or Dropbox. We will explain this whole process during our initial meeting.
For LrC (the non-cloud version, most used) you will need to export a catalog with smart previews and upload it to our WeTransfer page or through a private Dropbox folder.
-
For basic Lightroom editing, nope! I work based off of Smart Previews - all you have to do is send me a Lightroom catalog with smart previews. I will send all the instructions you need to do this, and to sync my edits with your raws once you get them back! *If you are having Photoshop work done, we will need the raw images, but we will go over all of that in our consultation.
-
Anchor images are simply a few images in the catalog that you edit prior to sending to me, so that I can use those as a base to most accurately match your editing style for each gallery.
-
ABSOLUTELY. I will never ever share your images anywhere unless you have given explicit permission.
-
You will receive a link to review the edited images within 3-5 business days from when you send the catalog to me to edit. Once the review is completed by you, I will send the edited catalog and an invoice back to you within 24 business hours.
-
