honored you’ve made it here.
let’s begin our creative collaboration.
HI. I’M JADEA. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH COLOR AND LIGHT AS AN ARTIST FOR OVER A DECADE. I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER FIRST - TRUST ME, I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO YOUR EDITING AND HOW IMPORTANT THIS PIECE OF YOUR WORK IS.
SINCE 2018, I HAVE BEEN EDITING FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES TO AUSTRALIA, EUROPE, AND BACK. I LOVE WORKING WITH ALL KINDS OF STYLES AND COLORS AND HAVE SPENT THESE YEARS FINE-TUNING IT ALL. I WANT EACH OF MY CLIENTS TO HAVE A PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE. LET ME TAKE CARE OF ALL OF YOUR POST-PRODUCTION NEEDS SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON BUILDING THE PHOTOGRAPHY COMPANY OF YOUR DREAMS.
please NOTE — I reserve weekends for time with my family. my editing hours are monday thru friday, 9:00am - 5:00pm CST.
preparing your files
once we can master this step, it’s smooth sailing from here.
Update your lightroom Classic CC to the most recent desktop version.
IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY IMPORT YOUR IMAGES AS SMART PREVIEWS, LOAD ALL OF YOUR RAW files INto Lightroom CLASSIC CC DESKTOP VERSION. IN THE LIBRARY TAB, SELECT ALL OF YOUR RAWS. DESKTOP VERSION AND THEN CLICK LIBRARY > PREVIEWS > BUILD SMART PREVIEWS.
LABEL ALL OF YOUR ANCHOR IMAGES (IMAGES YOU’VE EDITED THAT YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO REFERENCE WHILE EDITING) AS YELLOW.
SELECT ALL IMAGES AND CLICK FILE > EXPORT AS CATALOG. PLEASE LABEL YOUR CATALOG EVENTDATE-YOURNAME BEFORE EXPORT. CHECK THE PREVIEWS AND SMART PREVIEWS BOX ON THE EXPORT SCREEN.
As a fellow artist, i know we are visual people. i made a video of this process for you if that feels easier. You can watch that here.
