The Raw Photo

This is the photo photographers usually don’t show to clients, and for good reason! This is the photo taken straight off the camera with no editing done— it can look very different from the final product.

When shooting, I focus on capturing even lighting and preserving skin tones. Though it may not look it, these photos store a significant amount of data, and shooting in this format allows me the most freedom when editing so I can make your photos look the best they can!

The classic style is a true-tone, minimal modification style that focuses on preserving the day as it was.

This style aims to match how the subjects and environment would look if you were there looking at it yourself instead of through a lens.

It has a subtle light and airy tone to it, but the color remains authentic.

The Warm Edit

Exactly like the title says— this style puts your photos in black and white, giving them that high-contrast, timeless look.

This style also is versatile, it works well in both soft and harsh lighting conditions.

I often include some B&W photos alongside color photos in most of my albums. Sometimes when editing I discover some photos that really pop in this style and I love to share them with clients!

This style makes your photos warm and vibrant. It’s one of the most popular styles!

With this style, colors are vibrant and carry a warm tint to them. This style can make photos from any time of day carry a bit of that golden-hour, instagram-worthy look.

The Film Edit

Perfect for art-lovers and vintage fans. This style aims to mimic the look of 35mm film (specifically, Kodak Gold).

In this style, images have some grain to them to mimic the grittiness of film. A golden tint draws the subject and environment together, making the photo truly feel like a captured moment in time.

A B&W style applied over this style looks incredible as well!

Please note that these are just samples and provide a general direction for me to edit towards— the exact outcome will vary slightly depending on the lighting and environment.

Editing is a creative process and I’m always open to experimenting with different, unique styles. If what you want isn’t reflected here, reach out and we can discuss how to best achieve your vision!
