Absolutely! I carefully study the anchor images you provide and deeply value your feedback on these images, especially in the early stages. This input is crucial in understanding your brand and style and ensures a seamless blend with your existing portfolio as we continue our work together.

Can you REALLY match my existing editing style?!

You've got questions? I've got answers!

I focus on building ongoing relationships with my clients rather than taking irregular assignments. Together, we go through your schedule and workflow so that I am available for a timely turnaround for you. I'm certainly open to accommodating special projects for my existing clients as part of our continuous collaboration. 

Can I just send you stuff to edit when I get busy and can’t do the editing myself?

You've got questions? I've got answers!

If you're unsure about your "style," no worries! Part of my job is to help you discover and refine it. We'll start by exploring various editing approaches on some of your images, identifying what resonates with you. Through this collaborative process, we’ll uncover and develop a unique style that represents your vision and sets your work apart. Think of me as a partner in bringing your distinct photographic voice to life.

I don’t feel like I really have a “style.”can you help?

You've got questions? I've got answers!

You’ll send your photos via WeTransfer or Dropbox utilizing Lightroom Classic catalogs. These catalogs maintain the original image quality while significantly smaller than RAW files, facilitating quicker uploads and downloads. If you’re not familiar with using catalogs, I’ll walk you through everything!

How do I send you my photos?

You've got questions? I've got answers!

Anchor images are select photos you've personally edited, typically one or two for each lighting scenario and/or setting. These images serve as key references for me. By studying them, I can understand your specific editing techniques and mindset. They act as a guide, enabling me to edit the rest of your catalog consistently and in line with your unique style.

What do you mean by “anchor images”?

You've got questions? I've got answers!

It’s a little more nuanced than that! I begin my edits by aligning them with your provided anchor images. These anchor images act like a master sketch, guiding each stroke of my editing process. For every individual photo, I compare it against the corresponding anchor image, adjusting and refining details as needed.

Do you just copy and paste the edited anchor images to each unedited photo?

You've got questions? I've got answers!

Absolutely! Since you acquired the preset for your business, consider me a subcontracted helper. Whether the preset is one you've bought or crafted yourself, once you send it to me, I'll install it and label it with your name for easy identification. I'll exclusively use your specific preset on YOUR images, ensuring your unique style is consistently applied and maintained.

I have presets that I use. Can you use them, or is that not allowed?

You've got questions? I've got answers!

This is a specialized service, so the process begins with a consultation to understand your style and needs. It’s really important that we are a good fit for each other! If we decide to move forward after our initial conversation, we can begin the test phase process.

Can I send you test photos to try you out?
