I've been a photographer since 2008, and over the years, I’ve relied on a mix of hand-editing and using other artists' actions and presets. Like most photographers, I've gone through phases where I loved my edits, and other times when I struggled to find the perfect balance between my style and staying on trend with industry shifts.

For a while, I really tried to get on board with the muted, film-style edits that were so popular. But in September of 2024, I decided to return to my roots and focus on editing my RAW files directly. I wanted to enhance the exposure and tones that I worked so hard to capture in dreamy natural light locations—keeping my style authentic while making sure the photos felt vibrant and full of life.

That same month, I hosted a live editing class in the Collective, and during the session, I casually mentioned that I could probably save my RAW adjustments as presets, though I didn’t have a clue if it would actually work! Much to my surprise, it worked!

The response was incredible, and that’s when the idea for the OG Preset Bundle began to take shape. What started as a simple experiment turned into a powerful tool that has transformed the way I edit, and now, I'm excited to share it with you!

How the presets came to be...

Unlike other presets that are designed to "correct" your images, these are meant to enhance what you’ve already captured. They’re perfect for photographers who understand lighting—whether you’re shooting outside in bright sun or soft clouds, using studio lighting, or working with natural light from a window or LED lights.

These presets will take the colors and tones already present in your photos and elevate them, resulting in rich, vibrant hues that will keep your work feeling timeless for years to come.

If you’re still building your understanding of lighting, no worries! I’ve created plenty of resources to help you along the way—so you can use these presets with confidence as you refine your skills.
