asked questions

frequently

Do you accept clients other than wedding and elopement photographers?

Do you accept clients who are boudoir photographers?

I shoot part time, is that ok?

Do you require a minimum catalog and image count per season?

Can you rush catalogs?

I don't use Lightroom Classic - is that ok? 

I do! I accept family, portrait, wedding, elopement, and more!

I do not edit any boudoir sessions.

Yes that is perfectly fine! 

I do not! I just ask that you let me know the number of catalogs you'll be outsourcing on average and the average image count per catalog (you don't need to be exact!).

During busier times of the year - unfortunately I can't! But, just ask! I may have an opening!

I have a very simple process using LrC and SmartPreviews and also offer a Quick LrC Crash Course if you are new to LrC! 

Do you offer Photoshop work?

I don't at this time but I am constantly in a state of education - always striving to learn more! I hope to offer Photoshop work soon but until then I work exclusively in Lightroom Classic

"Outsourcing my photo editing with Dekota has helped me have more time with my family so I could actually run the business side of things successfully! I wish everyone I came in contact with was as fast to respond, polite and as hard working as Dekota! I feel like I met a friend for life through this process and I’ve never even met her face to face. Her business has meant that much to me!"

"Outsourcing my photo edits with Dekota helped me save time so I could move onto other projects. Having never worked with an editor before, Dakota went above and beyond to coach me through her process. She provided audio and video recordings for step by step tasks along with sharing comments on her editing processes. Her commutation was fast and reliable. She used the presets provided to achieve the style I was aiming for. She was helpful in offering her feedback and suggestions. I will be repeating business with her not only because of her good work, but more so because of her exceptional level of customer service! I would recommend her services to others Because everyone should take the opportunity to edit less, shoot more!"

Outsourcing my photo edits with Dekota helped me save hours of editing time so I could book more work and spend more time with my son and friends. Dekota is so professional and thorough, with great work a quick turnaround. My clients have been thrilled with their galleries. I can’t believe I didn’t outsource editing sooner. It feels like I am cheating now 😅 Editing used to take me hours per gallery, now I’m spending 1-2 hours total culling and editing anchor images, and minor tweaking the images I get back! Gamechanging!
