When You're Ready For An Editor Who Can Take The Lead

CREATIVE DIRECTOR editing SERVICEs FOR Wedding and portrait PHOTOGRAPHERS

If you’re ready to create more space in your business and your life to pursue connection and peace, this is for you.

Better Quality In Less Time.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR SERVICE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

You've built something you're proud of. Your client experience, your posing, your understanding of lighting and locations. But somewhere between the shooting, the sessions stacking up, and the hours in Lightroom, the creative side of your work started taking over your life and the thought of editing fills you with dread.

The Creative Director package is for photographers who want more from their editor than simply matching anchors. Whether you're looking to refine your editing, step away from editing entirely, or just stop anchoring every single session, this is the package where your editor takes the reins and you get to step back.

With nearly a decade of experience, a deep understanding of what's working in the wedding and portrait photography industry, and a process built around learning your creative vision, your editor becomes more than someone who edits your images. They become someone who shapes the way your work looks and feels. A perfectly curated gallery, done for you, that holds storytelling to a high standard that AI could never replicate.

And you need an editor with the experience and creative eye to take it there.

Frequently Asked Q’s

What's the difference between Creative Director and Private Photo Editor? +
The main difference is anchor images. With our Private Photo Editor package, you edit about 10% of your gallery as anchors and your editor matches your style across the rest. With Creative Director, anchor images are not required. Your editor takes the creative lead, sends you sample edits for approval before finishing the gallery, and handles the editing from start to finish. Creative Director also includes quarterly style check-in meetings with your editor, the option to have sneak peek images turned around for your clients, and all advanced editing tools (up to 3 syncable masks, denoise, object removal) included in every gallery. If you like being hands-on with your anchors and guiding each session, Private Photo Editor is a great fit. If you want to step back and let your editor lead, Creative Director is built for that.
How do you learn my editing style without anchor images? +
After you sign our contract, you'll fill out a detailed style questionnaire. It walks through how you use Lightroom, which panels and sliders matter most to your look, and your preferences on things like skin tones, warmth, and contrast. From there, you'll meet your Senior Editor on a Google Meet style consult where you screen share and walk them through your editing in real time. From there, your editor will send you sample edits at the beginning of each gallery for your approval before finishing the rest. This is our built-in system to make sure you never get a gallery back that doesn't feel like you. Over time, as your editor gets to know your work, you may not even need to review the samples anymore. Many of our Creative Director clients eventually tell their editor to just run with it.
Do you use AI to edit my images? +
Not with this package. Every image in your Creative Director gallery is edited individually by your dedicated editor in Lightroom Classic. No AI tools, no batch processing, no copy-and-paste settings. If you're interested in incorporating AI tools into your workflow, we can build a custom package around that. It's something we'd talk through together on a consultation call.
How does the sample edit approval process work? +
When your editor receives a new gallery, they'll edit a selection of sample images from different parts of the session and send them to you as a Lightroom catalog for review. You can look through the samples, make any adjustments you want, and send it back. Once you approve, your editor finishes the rest of the gallery based on those samples. Think of it as your editor doing the anchor images for you. As you build trust with your editor over time, you can choose to skip the approval step entirely and let them finish the gallery without review.
What are the quarterly style check-in meetings? +
Every three months you have the option to schedule a one-hour Google Meet with your Senior Editor to talk through how things are going. These are your chance to discuss what's working, what's not, and if there are any style refinements you want done. Maybe your style is shifting and you want your editor to start pushing warmer tones. Maybe you want to try something different with your black and whites. These meetings are the space for that. They're completely optional but they're there whenever you want them.
Do you offer rush delivery and what does it cost? +
Yes. Standard turnaround is 10-12 business days for weddings and 5-7 business days for portraits. If you need a gallery back faster, rush delivery is available upon request and subject to your editor's availability. A 50% rush fee applies for 1-3 business day delivery and a 25% rush fee applies for 5-7 business day delivery. Rush fees are only added when you specifically request expedited turnaround. If your editor happens to finish ahead of schedule on their own, no rush fee is applied.
What software do you edit in? +
We work exclusively in Lightroom Classic. We do not edit in Photoshop, Lightroom Creative Cloud, Capture One, or any other software. If Lightroom Classic is part of your current workflow, we're a great fit. If you're working in a different editing platform, we wouldn't be the right fit at this time.
How do I send you my images? +
You don't need to worry about figuring this out on your own. We have a complete system in place with a step-by-step guide that walks you through exactly how to export and send your session to your editor. If you're not sure your Lightroom catalog is set up the right way or you've never worked with Smart Previews before, we'll walk you through it during onboarding. When you get your edited images back, you're not getting JPGs. You'll import our edits directly into your Lightroom catalog, which means you still have full control to tweak anything, add black and whites, apply denoise, or make any final adjustments before you deliver to your client.
How do you handle black and white images? +
We customize this to however you work. If you want an all-color gallery and prefer to handle your own black and whites after you get the images back, we can absolutely do that and many of our photographers choose this option. If you'd like us to create black and white virtual copies for a curated selection of images using your B&W presets, we can do that as well. Your editor will use their creative and artistic judgment to select images that work best in black and white. Virtual copies are counted as an additional image in your per-image rate. During onboarding we'll learn your black and white preferences, including which preset you use and what you look for in a B&W conversion. We also color code all black and white images in the catalog so you can easily filter and find them when you get your gallery back.
Is there a contract or commitment? +
Yes, we work on an annual contract basis that runs January through December. We're looking for photographers who value a long-term relationship with their editor, not a one-off transaction. That said, we understand that life and business change. If it's not the right fit or your season shifts, we'll work with you to off-board thoughtfully and make sure the transition is smooth. We'll walk through the full terms together during your consultation call.

Meivys Suarez

Our business provides wedding, lifestyle, and branding photography so we are shooting different styles of images all the time and our editor at Called To More is able to handle every type of session.

At the beginning I was so hesitant to outsource editing because I felt like I was the only one who could edit the way my clients like. After a few sessions, our senior editor knew all my picky habits and got so close to my editing style that it saves me hours and hours of work every week! Now, I just edit a few images, send over my Lightroom Catalog, then receive the edited images and make a few tweaks before sending them off to my client.

Aside from consistent editing, Called To More has given me the most priceless thing of all—more time to spend with my husband and baby.”

“If you’re worried about finding someone to love, care for, and be as passionate about your images and your business as you are, look no further.
