Private Photo Editing

As a photographer myself, I understand what it takes to create meaningful, timeless work and how overwhelming editing can be. That's why I offer private photo editing services for wedding and portrait photographers who are ready to create more freedom in their business by outsourcing their Lightroom catalogs. 

My approach is thoughtful and personalized with consistent, high-quality edits that reflect your signature style and feel seamless to your clients. 

If you are looking for an editor who values subtle beauty, artistic integrity, and the peace of a well-supported workflow, you're in the right place.

Less Time at your Desk. More Space to Breathe.

Hello There!

I'm Amy, and I would love to be your creative partner. As a fellow photographer and private photo editor, I understand the creative, emotional, and physical demands of this work firsthand. I know that running a photography business is more like 3 or 4 jobs, not just one. When not behind the camera, we are nurturing our clients, marketing, bookeeping, editing culling and editing countless images all while trying to have a life. 

I know what it takes to craft a gallery for your clients that reflects your vision, tells a story, and honors their experience. That's why I offet more than technical edits, I bring a one on one human touch, thoughtful attention, and a deep respect for your unique editing style. With an eye for detail, my goal is to help fine art wedding and portrait photographers deliver beautifully consistent galleries, without the overwhelm.

Editing Services

My goal is to provide you with consistent edits so you can focus on the parts of your business and life that bring you the most joy. 

Whether you're looking to free up time for client relationships, creative projects, or just a little more personal time, I'm here to help. I offer editing services for photographers who want to spend less time behind the screen.

To keep things flexible, each gallery you send comes with the option to choose from different levels of editing. You can also add culling and advanced retouching services as needed. I'm proficient in both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, so whether you need natural, clean Lightroom edits or advanced retouching in Photoshop, I've got you covered!

No more juggling thousands of images on top of everything else. Using Anchor images, and your current presets, or creating a preset especially for you, I will work with you to learn your editing style so every photo represents you. I'm here to support your process and lighten your load. 

Not a fan of culling? I will go through and get rid of the less desirable images from your catalog before I start the editing process.  I can make the decisions for you so that after a wedding day (or portrait session), all you have to worry about is editing your anchors (reference images) and sending them my way! Culling can be done as a service on its own or combined with editing services. Leave the stress of culling your images behind while we carefully select the best ones for you!
I will not only make sure to create a cohesive set of images that tell the story of your client’s day in the best way possible, but I will also make sure to show off the very best of your photography!
