I provide private photo editing for wedding and family photographers who want to deliver beautiful galleries, consistently, without spending their nights behind the computer.



Find yourself daydreaming about free time...

Outsourcing your editing frees up hours each week, reduces burnout, and allows you to focus on what actually grows your business — shooting, client experience, and time with your family.

You didn’t start your business to spend every evening behind a screen. 

private editor who matches your style

Unlike large editing companies, I work closely with a limited number of photographers to learn your preferences, tones, and workflow. Every catalog is edited with consistency and care so your galleries still feel true to your vision.

Why outsource your editing?

Submitting your catalogs is straightforward, secure, and organized. Your personal client space walks you through each step and keeps your invoices, documents, and feedback neatly organized and easy to access.

Learn More About Working Together

Hey there, I’m Kaitlyn — a photo editor with a lifelong love for photography and a deep appreciation for the details that make an image feel just right.

My passion for photography has followed me through every chapter of my life — including my years working in healthcare, where I specialized in diagnostic imaging like X-rays and MRIs. Precision, consistency, and attention to detail have always been second nature to me.

With a strong foundation in imaging and detail-driven work, I was naturally drawn to photo editing. Today, I provide private editing services for wedding and family photographers who value consistency, care, and a seamless post-production experience.

As a mom to two little ones, I understand how quickly time moves and how valuable it really is. My goal is simple: to provide thoughtful, reliable edits that allow photographers to spend less time behind their screens and more time where it matters most.

a little about me...

xo Kaitlyn

Before I begin editing, I take time to review your prior galleries, carefully study the anchor images included with each catalog, and discuss with you your editing goals. These reference points guide every adjustment, ensuring consistent, thoughtful edits that feel like a natural extension of your work.

Not at all. My role is to support your editing style, not change it. By referencing your preset, anchor images, and previous galleries, I ensure each catalog stays aligned with the look and feel your clients already recognize.

The goal is for your galleries to feel just as cohesive and true to your brand — simply without the hours spent behind the computer.

Will outsourcing my editing change the way my work looks?

Yes — every catalog is edited personally by me. I don’t outsource work to a team of editors, which allows me to maintain consistency, attention to detail, and a clear understanding of each photographer’s unique style.

Over time, this familiarity allows the editing process to become even more seamless and aligned with your vision.

Turnaround time typically ranges from 3-5 business days, depending on catalog size and the time of year. If you have an upcoming delivery deadline, feel free to let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate your timeline whenever possible.

Anchor images are a small selection of edited photos that act as reference points for your gallery. By reviewing these images alongside your previous work, I’m able to understand your editing preferences and ensure the final gallery remains consistent with your style.

Providing one anchor image for each major lighting change within the catalog is especially helpful. As we work together over time and your style becomes more familiar, many photographers find that fewer anchors are needed.

Catalogs are shared using Lightroom Smart Previews, which makes sending large galleries quick and efficient without transferring the full RAW files. Smart Previews are much smaller in size, saving both time and storage space.

Once you're onboarded, I’ll provide simple step-by-step instructions on how to create and upload your catalog.

All editing is completed in Adobe Lightroom Classic (LrC - desktop version) using your preset as the foundation. From there, I make careful adjustments to white balance, color, exposure, and tone to ensure your gallery feels cohesive and aligned with your editing style.

At this time, I focus exclusively on color correction and image refinement. Catalogs should be culled prior to submission so I can concentrate on delivering consistent edits throughout your gallery.

I intentionally work with a limited number of photographers each season to maintain consistent quality and communication. Availability is managed through your client dashboard, where you’ll be able to view open editing slots and submit catalogs as needed.

If you ever anticipate a larger workload or a tight turnaround, you’re always welcome to reach out in advance so we can plan accordingly.

Getting started is simple. Begin by submitting the client application or requesting a complimentary trial. Once we confirm we're a good fit, you'll receive onboarding instructions and access to your client dashboard.
