is it time to outsource your photo editing?
Why you need to outsource with a qualified photo editor…
Photographer friends, you work extremely hard building and maintaining a beautiful & soulful creative wedding photography brand — it is consistently a huge investment of your time.
Allow me to help alleviate some of the time you spend behind the computer with my one-on-one private boutique photo editing services. You go that extra mile for your clients to give them an amazing experience—let me do the same for you so you can achieve the work/life balance you deserve!
As a previous hybrid wedding photographer who used to experience those high volume wedding years, I know how hard it may be to try to maintain high quality edits during the busier season and manage an entire business without having to sacrifice time for your family and life outside of work.
I've always appreciated and enjoyed the time, patience, and care it requires to edit photos to get them exactly how want them. Editing is a skill I've acquired from shooting film & editing my own photographs in LR for over 7+ years.
After I began shooting film photography I focused so much more on the quality of my digital edits, how they matched my film scans and I strived for that consistency. I’m beyond thrilled I became a full-time private photo editor for wedding photographers, specializing in hybrid film and digital editing! Editing is my nerdy passion that I’m very grateful to be able to share with amazing photographers all around the world. Helping other photographers cultivate more time to be more present in their life & business is my joy.

THE PROCESS of outsourcing your wedding photography
1. Reserve a Client Spot
Before I can begin editing for you, you need to secure a spot on my client list for the year if one is available. Hybrid editing is my favorite skill to utilize, but it does take time. This is why I choose to work with only a handful of clients a year! I prefer to make long lasting connections with clients so I can continue to work on their team for years to come. I do not offer one-off or seasonal edits.
2. Book an Editing Slot
You’ll have access to my editing calendar where you can book and schedule any current or future weddings you need to be edited in available time slots. My clients love the flexibility of scheduling multiple edits in advance or having the ability to book whatever is soonest available!
3. Upload Your Catalog
I’ve made the process of uploading and sending over files as easy as drag + drop! I do not require Dropbox or other cloud based storage. You will use my custom upload page to drag and drop prepared files. Never outsourced before? Not to worry, you’ll get easy instructions to uploading your files.
4. Download & Enjoy
Your catalog will be delivered to you with an emailed download link back within 1-2 business days of your appointment. You’ll follow simple file import instructions and watch the final edits change as Lightroom updates the files (my clients’ favorite part of outsourcing is watching the images change in moments)!

Frequently Asked Questions
will you send me a “portfolio” or “test/example edit”?
No, I do not offer trial runs or test edits. My services cater to editing in each of my client's individual styles that I meticulously invest time into learning, staying true to their brand and identity. This is why I may not offer an "example" gallery - simply because any example edit I show you is not your own unique style & brand. Viewing examples is not the best way to choose your editor; the best way to see if an editor is a good fit is to work with them first. I know that sounds like a big leap, aren’t all good things worth taking a small risk? Find an editor that you feel you connect with, and trust in the process.
DO YOU OFFER ONE-OFF EDITS OR EDITS FOR NON-CLIENTS?
No. My busier seasons are reserved for clients only. I spend time and care with a focused set of full-time clients to provide an excellent editing experience that is unique to them. I do not offer one-off or temporary editing for non-clients. Intersted in becoming one of my clients? If you see the application above, then there is a spot available!
