If you’ve ever wondered what happens after your in-home family session wraps up, this one’s for you. ✨
As a family photographer here in Salt Lake City, Utah, I pour just as much love into the editing process as I do into photographing your session. My goal isn’t to create something fake or over-processed—it’s to preserve what was real. The light. The movement. The emotion.
Here’s a peek at what happens behind the scenes, and what you can expect from your final gallery.
My Editing Style
I keep things true to life, with a clean white balance, natural skin tones, and a style that feels bright, crisp, and timeless.
I believe your home should look like your home. Your baby’s cheeks should still look like their baby cheeks. Your photos should feel like you, not like a filtered version of your life. My editing is subtle, intentional, and centered around preserving the emotion of each moment.
What I Do (and Don’t) Edit
Yes — I edit every image in your final gallery by hand. That means I adjust:
- Exposure and contrast
- Color balance and white tones
- Skin tones (without over-smoothing)
- Light distractions in the background (if they pull attention)
But I don’t:
- Retouch bodies
- Alter appearances
- Make people (or houses) look “perfect”
Because you already are enough, just as you are. And I want you to remember the way your toddler snuggled into your shoulder, not whether your shirt had a wrinkle.
From Shoot to Delivery
Once your session is complete, I start editing right away. Most galleries are delivered within two weeks, often sooner. You’ll receive your full gallery via a private online link, where you can download your images, order prints, and relive your session again (and again).
Why Editing Matters to Me
The editing process is where the emotion comes to life. I don’t just batch-process and move on—I take time with your images, making sure each one feels like a memory. I want your gallery to feel like a story: full of love, movement, and moments you didn’t even realize I captured.
