Delivering Authentic, True-to-Life Edits

You pour your heart into every click of the shutter, capturing genuine moments and heartfelt stories for your clients. But the significant hours spent on post-production can often overshadow the joy of creation. This takes you away from what you love most: spending quality time with your family and friends, photographing, and connecting with your clients.

 

As a fellow wedding and portrait photographer, I truly understand these demands. My specialty lies in refining images to reflect the natural beauty and true emotion of every scene, ensuring your galleries remain timeless and authentic.

 

Imagine receiving your edited images back, consistent and ready for delivery, all while maintaining the integrity of your unique vision.

 

My Editing Philosophy: The Art of True-to-Life Authenticity

 

I specialize in true-to-life editing, a style focused on enhancing your images without imposing a heavy-handed look. My meticulous approach ensures that colors are accurate, skin tones are natural, and the genuine atmosphere of your photographs is preserved. I focus on:

 

• Authentic Color Fidelity: Precise white balance and color adjustments that accurately reflect the scene, free from artificial casts.
• Natural Tonal Balance: Optimized exposure, contrast, highlights, and shadows to bring out natural depth and detail.
• Seamless Consistency: Ensuring every image in your gallery flows together harmoniously, maintaining your signature style.
• Unobtrusive Refinements: Careful cropping, straightening, and essential lens corrections to present your work flawlessly.
• (All performed expertly in Lightroom Classic, maintaining a clean and cohesive final product.)

 

My goal is simple: to give you back valuable time by handling the meticulous editing, allowing you to focus on capturing more beautiful moments.

Pricing, Turnaround, & Seamless Workflow

 

My rates reflect the quality, consistency, and time-saving value I bring to your workflow, enabling you to focus on your craft.

 

• True-to-Life Editing: $100 per hour
  • A minimum project fee of $100 applies. This ensures every project, no matter its size, receives my full attention and professional support from start to finish.
• Professional Culling Services: $0.10 per image
  • Please note: This rate applies to all images submitted for culling, regardless of the final count that will be edited.

 

Turnaround Times:

 

• Up to 50 Images: 3-7 business days
• Up to 150 Images: 7-14 business days
• 400+ Images (e.g., full wedding galleries): For these significant projects, I provide a customized timeline after discussing the exact image count, complexity, and your desired delivery date to your clients. This ensures I can dedicate the necessary time to provide the exceptional quality and consistency your work deserves, without compromising on efficiency.

 

Re-Edit Policy:

 

I strive to provide exceptional quality on the first pass. To ensure your complete satisfaction and perfect alignment with your vision, I will send you a sample of images from your project before editing the full gallery. This allows us to confirm the aesthetic direction and make any necessary adjustments early on.

 

Once the full gallery is delivered, one round of complimentary revisions is included to address any final minor adjustments or overlooked details. Should additional revisions be needed beyond this initial round, or if the requested changes are extensive and fall outside the scope of the original agreement, they will be billed at my standard hourly rate of $100 per hour.

 

To ensure the best possible outcome, please provide clear and comprehensive feedback during both the initial sample review and any subsequent revision requests. Your detailed input is invaluable!

Getting Started is Simple & Collaborative

 

1. Discovery Call: Let's chat about your specific needs, volume, and stylistic preferences.
2. Sample Edit: For new clients or larger projects, you can send a small batch of raw files (e.g., 5-10 images from diverse lighting situations). I'll provide a sample edit, allowing you to give feedback and ensure we're perfectly aligned before the full gallery is processed.
3. Seamless Integration: Once the sample is approved, we'll establish a smooth file transfer process and communication plan for the entire project.
