I have a great workflow down!  I am able to balance the time with my family and my regular weekday job.  

​

After spending time with you, your family and/or loved ones, I am eager to get home and get them ready for you!   Here is how it works:

​

For Senior photo sessions, the following steps can be completed in as little as 4-5 hours.  For weddings and large events, it may take as long as 30 hours of editing time.  

​

1.  All photos are unloaded onto my computer in NEF (RAW) format.    Only my editing software has a need for these original files, and they are not of any use to customers.    

​

2.  All photos are loaded into Adobe Bridge, where I begin reviewing them on my 2 large computer monitors.

​

3.  Any photos where someone blinks or appears blurry (rare) are discarded.   Thankfully, I shoot multiple frames (11 per second) of each pose so that these errors hardly ever happen.  I also discard multiples of certain poses and keep the best-composed image.   

​

4.  Photos are edited for proper white balance, cropping, noise reduction, unwanted object reduction, skin tone, blemishes, crazy stray hairs and sharpness.    I also examine the color red and adjust the levels accordingly, because red likes to show up as overexposed in photos.  

​

5.  A private, online gallery is made of all edited photos, and are checked against the list of photos that you and I have agreed upon.  I want to make sure you are seeing samples from every pose we talked about before the session.  A link to the online gallery will be released by e-mail, which will contain a password to keep your gallery private.   

​

6.  Social media 'bragging rights' photos are sent within a week of the event.   They are not suitable for printing and will contain a watermark for advertising. 

 

7.  Time to order prints!  Within a month of the event, prints of photos are made according to the 'favorite' feature on the online gallery.   Click me for a price list.
