Picking Your Proofs

I use an Adobe Lightroom feature called “Collaborative Proofing” to give clients direct choice on the images that I develop for their delivered album. This temporary cloud album houses the RAW format images (no processing) for you to browse, and from there you will select the images you would like me to process. The base packages as of 2026 include 25 edited photos per 30 minutes of shooting for most traditional sessions, such as graduate and family sessions.

You will click the large checkmark on the images that you want, and there is no “save” button. It live updates your selections. At the top of the proofing album, you will see the number of images you have selected and the total you have to pick. Make sure to open the images to full view, so that you can see details. There are various tagging and flagging options, if you would like to organize your selection process, but the large checkmarks are the ultimate selecting tool. Multiple Adobe accounts can access the same proofing album.

If you would like to purchase additional edited photos, black-and-white alternates, the RAW archive, or any other add-ons, please visit the site store and make the purchases, and then text Corey at 979-969-5646 to confirm and/or with any questions. It is preferred that these additional selections, if desired, are made as soon as possible following the session, as images are transferred to a backup archive a few days following completed album delivery.

The final edited photos will be delivered via an album on my site, not via Adobe Lightroom.
