We can’t wait to serve you next!
Today, we’re a company where photographers come through our doors and feel a sense of relief, freedom, and ease in outsourcing their photo editing.
As I grew my business, I originated the photo editing workflow that many editors now consider an industry standard. My client list quickly grew, and I went from being a one-woman show editing 300 weddings a year to building a team of trusted photo editors who not only serve our clients well but lean into their other callings in life.
Eight years ago, I was burned out and uninspired, working as a marketing director at a multimillion-dollar company. I left to do my own thing in 2016 to reconnect with my faith and carve out a career that would put my family life first, thinking I would get away from my graphic design background and be a photographer instead. Naturally, God had other plans.
It didn’t take me long to see that I enjoyed editing photos more than I liked taking them. I found I could nail any style, and that I genuinely enjoyed cueing up Lightroom and creating magic.
At the time, it felt like almost no one was doing private photo editing, let alone as a full-time career. There were some photographers that took on editing as a side-hustle to their photography business, but nowhere that photographers could go to not only get their photos edited but know that every gallery would be so high-quality it would look as though they’d edited it themselves. Their clients wouldn’t know the difference, and best of all, they’d finally be able to let go of the overwhelm and get hours back in their week.

As your cheerleaders, biggest supporters, and editing dream team, we love inspiring photographers to grow a sustainable, life-giving business that doesn’t consume you, to help you build and grow sustainably so you can get back to what you love about photography.
We’re here to cheer you on, support you, and help you build the business (and life) you imagine. When you sign on as a client, you’ll be connected with your senior editor who will learn, master, and replicate your editing style so every gallery feels like an authentic representation of your work and a legacy keepsake for your clients.

My family, Jesus, summertime, seasons, cooking and baking, soul moving worship, quality time with my family and friends, new adventures — all of the travel, lip stain, and maxi skirts!

Growing up I dreamed of two major things for my life: my desire to be a faith-filled mama and wanting to serve others with my creativity, love, and joy. I was never quite sure what that service would look like, until I fell in love with wedding videography and photo editing.
I found that I loved being a contributor to the special moments of people’s lives. Life is so incredibly valuable and beautiful, and I love giving others the opportunity to both remember it and seize as much of it as they can.
Working with me you can trust that I will bring my best self along with all that I’ve learned to the table. That includes honoring you and your work, getting to know you and your style, paying attention to the details, delivering your edits in a timely manner, and having an open ear to whatever it is you desire for your images.
I would be honored to serve you in this way and look forward to the chance to meet you!

Releasing images to an editor and trusting we’ll learn their style (and quickly) is a huge leap of faith. I pour my heart into learning each individual photographer well so they can get back to their business and what they love doing most.
What sets you apart?
The Office will never get old and Fixer Upper — you better believe I’m counting down the days until they return.
What is your favorite TV show?
Even though I will never meet the couple, I feel like we're friends when the gallery is delivered. (Does that make me a weirdo?! Haha!) I’m efficient, easy to communicate with, and I make sure timelines run smoothly.
What do you want photographers to know?
God, my hubby, 2 girls, and Golden Retriever give me more joy than I can express. Date nights on the patio after bedtime is our season of life and I love it. Give me a Trader Joe’s candle, fresh flowers, and an iced coffee, and my day. is. made. :)
What are your favorite things?
My relationship with Jesus is everything. My marriage and shepherding two girls is the biggest and most important job I’ve been given.

10 years ago I started my journey with weddings — you could say I'm a planner turned photographer, and now private photo editor. I thrive on the challenge that comes along with being a second set of eyes and empowering businesses to reach new levels. Being on my team means you'll get an organized timeline, an efficient turnaround, and a dependable friend cheering you on.
I understand wholeheartedly the stress that might come with outsourcing. If you're here you're either on the fence or eager to get some hours back to your life, both personal and business. You can trust that I don't take this responsibility lightly and I would be honored to support you and your dreams.
I welcome the opportunity to work with you so you can get back to what you love doing most!

I’ve been (am in) your shoes! I know what it’s like to shoot a wedding and have all of the post-processing looming over you. I personally shoot film and match all my digital work to that look. You can be sure I’ll be noticing the little details that make your images seamlessly consistent.
What sets you apart?
Friends and The Office will always be favorites, but I love the business and ingenuity of Shark Tank!
What is your favorite TV show?
I treat every gallery as if it were my own. Placing your editing in the hands of someone you can trust will save your time and energy for the things that really matter to you!
What do you want photographers to know?
Long walks with my family, the color purple, flowers (ranunculus, anyone?) and a minimal, streamlined style.
What are your favorite things?
Quality time and heartfelt relationships, especially my relationship with God, my husband and kids!

Shortly after earning my degree in graphic design, I discovered my love for wedding photography. While I still enjoy shooting weddings, editing the digitals to either match film or fit a certain vision has always been my favorite part of the process. Working with me, you can trust that I’ll be paying attention to every detail. I know what it’s like to be in your shoes as a photographer. After every wedding I edit, it feels like I was right there with you on that day.
Handing off your work can be a bit intimidating at first, but outsourcing hours at your computer will give you back the freedom you envisioned when you first started your business. Imagine time spent resting and enjoying the other aspects of your life, all while knowing your images are being carefully poured over by another set of eyes.
I’m excited for the chance to ease your workload and get back to the life you’ve always dreamed of!
