wedding & Portrait Private Editing

for photographers who are ready to minimize their workload and grow their business

Hello! MY NAME IS NICOLE AND I'M THE GAL BEHIND THE COMPUTER.

I am a full time photographer and private editor. I have been in the photography business for over 12 years and love being able to help other photographers get their time back by working with them on editing for quick turnaround times for their clients. I know how important getting images back to your clients quickly is which is why I have a turnaround time of 3-5 business days.

Because my life is busy with two young children and running a business, I've worked hard to become an efficient editor to allow for more time with my family. I'd love to talk with you about outsourcing your editing to make more time for yourself and your business.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

I always recommend a consultation to talk through my editing process. This is a good time to ask me any questions and tell me more about your business and editing style.

SAMPLE GALLERY

A sample gallery is free for anyone interested in private editing. For the sample trial, you can send up to 25 photos from up to 5 different lighting situations.

EDITING AND DELIVERY

We will send smart preview Lightroom catalogs back and forth using Dropbox. You'll have your gallery in 3-5 business days matched to your editing style.

Testimonial

MADDIE

Hiring Nicole has been a game changer in my business. I wasn't sure if hiring an editor made sense because I shoot for brands, so typically my galleries are much smaller than when I used to do weddings. Even still, I found myself getting behind on galleries which I knew was hurting my client experience. Since hiring Nicole I've been able to double the amount of brand sessions I am comfortable taking on in a month–literally doubling my monthly income–because I don't get behind anymore! My client experience is better for it and I love that I don't have to worry about when I'm going to edit.

Nicole has been a game changer for my business. I've been working with her for over a month - and I keep kicking myself for not working with an editor like her sooner. Nicole is incredibly professional, a great communicator and consistently provides great work. I have never shown someone how I edit photos, so it felt very personal to share my "secret sauce" with someone. She made onboarding so simple, within a week we were already completing albums and I was getting caught up on shoots. I trust her and her work- I look forward to a long working relationship with her!

KATE

I'm a fairly high volume family photographer, and this past fall/winter was the busiest it's ever been. With two kids under 5, I was losing my mind trying to juggle work and family time, and I was coming up short on both. After 13 years of business, I finally decided to outsource my editing, and I reached out to Nicole. What a game changer! Not only did she make the onboarding process easy, her work is amazing, her turnaround time is usually faster than promised, and she always goes above and beyond to make each photo look exactly how I'd edit it myself (if not better). I highly recommend her!

CARA

Working with Nicole has been wonderful! Not only is she helping me to have more time to invest back into my business but also to spend with my family. She is incredibly organized and helps me to plan out and stay on schedule with sending galleries. Why wasn't I doing this in the past?
You'll enjoy the process and the end result with Nicole, I promise!
