What you send me
- Full event image set via Dropbox or Apple iCloud Drive
- Format: RAW files only (no JPEGs needed)
- Optional (recommended): your preferred Lightroom preset/profile or a reference gallery so I can match your look
What I deliver back to you
1) Lightroom delivery package
- Lightroom Catalog (.lrcat) containing the full cull and edit decisions
- .XMP files for the culled selects (and/or for the full set if needed)
- Folder structure preserved and organized (event-ready)
2) Final images
- Retouched full-resolution JPEGs of all culled/selected images
- Delivered in a clean, client-ready folder structure (e.g., “Final JPGs” + “LR Catalog”)
Selection philosophy
- I understand that events often include multiple frames of the same group during awards, honors, and presentations.
- When appropriate, I will deliver multiple strong images of each group/moment (not just a single frame), so you have options for expressions, timing, and storytelling.
What’s included (scope)
Culling + Prep (clean, consistent event-ready)
