MY APPROACH
Here's exactly how I learn your editing style
ONBOARDING QUESTIONNAIRE This is where you tell me your preferences, details about how you edit, what you like and don’t like. Eight questions all about your style and preferences. Please spill your guts here (your editing guts, anyway).
ANCHOR IMAGES These are images you edit in Lightroom Classic for each lighting scenario so I can see exactly how you want the rest edited. (Your sneak peeks can work perfectly for this.) This is the easiest and fastest way to show me exactly how you edit.
FEEDBACK If there’s something you want handled differently, let me know. I’m always open to feedback. Reply back by email or we can hop on a quick video chat to work it out. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me.
“The best decision I've made for my business.”
“[Erika]'s given me so much time back to spend with my family, which to me, is priceless.”

More than basic edits
SO YOUR WORK SHINES—WITHOUT EXTRA TIME OR EFFORT
After years of editing for wedding photographers, I realized touchups and mask adjustments shouldn’t be an add-on to color correction—they’re essential for a polished, consistent gallery.
With most editors, that kind of detailed work costs extra. With me, it’s simply part of the service—because your images (and your time) deserve that level of care.
You shouldn’t have to go through your catalog removing random lint, the occasional pimple, or that outlet standing out loud and proud on a dark wall.
And I personally have it out for exit signs—I want them out of the picture!
We might be a match if...
You’re drowning in edits and dreaming of finally getting caught up.
You want to stay in control of the editing style and don’t mind editing a few reference images to guide me.
You’re looking for a real human who will learn your style, keep it consistent, and make your work shine.
You want more time for what matters: more clients, more family time, or just more breathing space.

“Outsourcing my photo editing with Erika helped me gain back more time during the day so I could spend that time with my baby boy.
“Choosing to outsource my editing with Erika has been the best decision I've made for my business.
