Hey there! First, I want to say congratulations in taking the first step in reclaiming your time by exploring outsourcing! Being an entrepreneur, it's hard to let go of that "I can do it all" mindset. I commend you for realizing that it's okay to want help - or at least look into the possibility of taking off one of the many hats you wear.
Being someone who feels as though they can't let go and no one will ever do it like I would, I understand your thought process and reluctancy. I'm here to tell you that as a self-proclaimed control-freak, giving up (some) control has relinquished so much stress and internal pressure I had put on myself. Hiring a private photo editor just may be what you need to feel that sense of relief as well.
Lastly, I just want to say thank you for even considering me to be your private photo editor. I know there are a lot of incredibly talented editors out there, so again, thank you for taking the time to view my offerings!
I'm looking forward to chatting with you!
a note from bailey
TO all of the photographers who are
you don't have to do it alone.
You, as a photographer, didn't get into photography to sit behind a computer and edit all day. You got into it because you love capturing images that tell your clients' stories! Outsourcing allows you to focus on your zone of genius and not get burnt-out while simultaneously providing an amazing customer experience to each and every client.
tailored to you and your needs
AN elevated EXPERIENCE
IMAGE ENHANCING
BASIC LIGHTROOM EDITS
This is the magical part! I take your already beautifully composed images, and add a bit of sparkle to them. By working one-on-one with photographers, I am able to match each individual's style to create images that are cohesive within the catalog and blend right in with your already established editing style. In just a few simple steps, you'll be able to drastically reduce the amount of time you spend post-processing.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:
INCLUDES:
You'll never get behind on editing again. No more feeling burnt out and like you're stuck behind your computer. That means your clients will get their galleries quicker and you will be able to over deliver on your promises.
It's less $$$ than doing it yourself. When factoring your profit, you must include all hours worked (pre-event, during the event, and post-event). Once you do the math, you'll see you actually save money rather than using your valuable time.
Your images will be cohesive. When a client books you, they're looking at your photography style as well as your editing style. I'm sure your photography prompts are second-nature. But, editing styles can vary slightly across galleries. An editor learns your style and matches it every time.
You'll have more free time; more time to work on your business, more time to go to your kids' sporting events, more time for that vacation you keep pushing off. Whatever it may be, taking back your time and truly enjoying life is what's important.

You will no longer have to spend hours looking at similar pictures with your internal dialog repeatedly saying: "Are all eyes open?", "Is this composition better?", "Oh, shoot, the other one everyone was looking at me.", etc.
Your wedding catalogs will be super organized! This is especially helpful when there are multiple shooters. Wedding catalogs are required to be organized into collections - which either you can do or I can do for you for an additional charge. (More information in the add-ons section.)

DO YOU OFFER PHOTOSHOP EDITING?
Although I am a frequent Photoshop user, and my passion runs deep; I do not currently offer any Photoshop work. I work exclusively in Lightroom Classic.
what's an anchor image?
An anchor image is the edited image, provided by you, that I reference when editing the rest of your catalog. These can also be your 'sneak peeks' for your clients.
what's a smart preview?
A smart preview is a compressed DNG copy of a photo file. It’s about 95% of the size of the original file and is stored in an .lrdata file alongside your Lightroom catalog.
will you edit dark & moody?
To keep up the quality of my services, I've decided to only work with photographers who offer light & airy or true to life imagery. I can refer you to a different editor though.
when can i send over catalogs?
As soon as the contract is signed, you'll have access to all the information you need to start outsourcing. You could have your first gallery submitted within minutes!
what system do you edit on?
I'm a full-on Apple fan girl and will always be fully submerged in their ecosystem. My current set up is a MacBook Pro and a Studio Display.
do you offer photoshop editing?
Not at the moment. I work exclusively in Lightroom Classic.
what's a smart preview?
A compressed DNG copy of an image file that still has all the RAW information. Smaller file size = quicker editing & file sharing.

An image edited by you that I use to reference while editing the rest of the catalog
