Editing
I have been able to deliver within 2 weeks instead of the 4-6 I was before. The galleries are very consistent with little to no changes made by me.
I am able to simply export and deliver. She is able to really get to know you, hone in on your style and edit your gallery. My favorite part is when I import her LR catalog because it's magic in front of my eyes to see her edits being applied to the images. She is the best! I have never been more happy with my editor and I am so glad we found one another.
I wish I wouldn't have waited to so long. <3

"Cat is hands down AMAZING! She has an eye for editing while also being super quick."
Testimonials
Cat not only keeps me ahead, she keeps me on track! I came to her with a workload that was overwhelming my life to the point I could no longer function at my best. She met me where I was in all my crazy & guided me through it. She is gracious, encouraging, & gives me that gentle-productive-nudge when I need it. She's my sanity & I can finally BREATHE again with her help.

Testimonials
It is like she can read my mind in how I edit and beyond. I am a family/new-life lifestyle photographer. I have used other editors and I usually ended up doing reedits and making fine tune adjustments. Not anymore! Cat does it all! My galleries are cranked out so much faster. She makes sure that my images are consistent with my work. She even points out and notices things that I totally missed. This fall I was able to take on more family photography sessions because I was not behind in editing. In my entire five years of business, I was finally ahead on editing and delivery of fall photography sessions. Cat is amazing!
-CHRISTINA TUNDO PHOTOGRAPHY
"I literally cried happy tears when I got my first gallery back from Cat"
Testimonials
I feel like Cat is part of my team and not just an editor. She helps me to be my best to my clients and instead of having my husband come in to give advice on photos, I know I have Cat to give my edits another look to ensure consistency. I am not exaggerating when I say I would have not made it through 2022 without her help.

"I would have not made it through 2022 without her help. "
Testimonials
I used to spend hours editing my images, and that was after procrastinating the task for as long as humanly possible. But since finding Cat, it takes me a teeny tiny fraction of that time to get my images perfect and out the door! She does such a fantastic job and often goes above and beyond to make sure my images are consistent with my style and throughout each gallery. Cat is quick, a great communicator and just a lovely person to work with, and of course, she does a beautiful job each and every time! I would recommend her a 100 times over to any photographer looking to find some extra time to work on other aspects of their business, or just to live their lives!

How do I get started?
faq
A: I have been editing my own work since 2016. I am a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and have also taken Katelyn Jame's consistency course. From there I developed my own style and my own custom preset to acchieve a consistent style. I started editing for others in 2021.

A: Yes, my clients edit one anchor image for each lighting scenario so that I can match that edit based off of that image. If your anchor image is off or the wrong white balance for cohesiveness in your full gallery, I will communicate with you about re-editing your anchors so that you receive the best possible outcome. If you do not want to edit any anchors, there is a full creative option available, you must have your own presets and walk through video explaining how you edit.
A: There is an at will agreement. That means either party may terminate at any time. I want our relationship to be an open line of communication, and for you to LOVE your edits. This means if you give it a try and decide that we are not a good fit, you can let me know in writing and we will remove your dates from the calendar. Any retainers paid for future dates are non-refundable.
A: Great question! At the moment, yes, but I am open to different styles of photography and love playing around with different lighting and shodows. If you have a custom preset or presets that you use to edit anchor images, let's chat. I am always up for a good challenge.
A: You will need the latest version of Adobe Lightroom CC and Google Drive.
