hooray!
– YOU ARE READY TO OUTSOURCE YOUR EDITING –
You are investing in your business and I am beyond thankful you are considering me to be your private editor. I take this job seriously and will treat your images as my own.
Learn more about my process below!
my editing process
Nicole will send you a Dropbox folder where your active galleries will live. The Dropbox folder will have two folders (To Edit and Edited) and two pdf guides (how to prepare/export LR gallery and how to apply edits to LR gallery).
Sending galleries
Once you have exported your LR gallery, you will upload it to your “to edit” folder and email Nicole that it is uploaded with any notes. Example of notes:
-Anchors are marked as red
-Please cull to around 100
-I had lighting issues with the last pose, please feel free to adjust edits
Editing & Delivery
When Nicole receives the gallery, she will let you know if the turnaround time will be longer than the typical 3-5 business days.
Once Nicole has edited the gallery, she will upload the .zip folder to your “edited” folder and email you that it is done.
Galleries will be deleted from Dropbox after 1 month.
invoice & feedback
Nicole will send invoices on the 1st and 15th of the month.
Payments are due within 2 weeks of the invoice date.
Feedback is always welcome as it will help Nicole do her job of matching your edits better.
I can’t wait to help minimize your workload!

“Nicole’s editing prowess, her responsiveness, and insanely quick turnaround times has turned what is typically an overwhelming busy season into a very manageable and profitable fall. Working with her has improved my workflow, my final product and, frankly, my well-being. I couldn’t recommend Nicole and her editing services more highly! “

FAQ's
An anchor image is simply a photo that is edited. I will use the settings on your anchor images as a reference to match your other images in the gallery. By using anchor images, you as the photographer keep creative control of your edits to make sure they look exactly as if you edited them.
At this time, I am not adding clients without anchor images. This can be revisited in the future.
If you mark the images that need masking and note that in your gallery email, you will only be charged the masking fee for those images. Because it takes me additional time to mark those to invoice separately, if you do not mark the images the whole gallery will be invoiced with masks.
Yes, the minimum for culling is $10 and the minimum for Lightroom edits is $20.
