Every face in the group, exposed and coloured as one. Family sessions and milestone events, from birthdays and anniversaries to christenings and graduations, bring the same problems as a wedding at a smaller scale: big groups, mixed light and a dozen skin tones in one frame. We edit them with the same care.
We balance exposure across groups so nobody at the edge falls into shadow, keep skin tones consistent between indoor and outdoor sets, and hold your colour style across the whole gallery. Blinks and duplicates can be culled before editing.
Smaller sessions come back as a finished Lightroom catalog. Larger events are priced close to our wedding collections, with the same turnaround.
Colour, exposure and white balance matched to your style Group exposure balancing Consistent skin tones across indoor and outdoor sets Optional culling of blinks and duplicates Cropping and straightening Unlimited revisions against your style profile
Family and event photo editing turns a session or celebration into one consistent gallery: exposure balanced across big groups, skin tones held steady between indoor and outdoor sets, colour casts from party lighting corrected, and your signature look applied to every frame. These galleries are rarely as large as a wedding but often just as demanding, and they tend to arrive in the same busy weeks. Outsourcing them keeps your delivery times short without taking evenings away from weddings.
Large groups in uneven light, where the people at the edges fall into shadow Moving between indoor rooms and outdoor sets within the same hour Several generations and skin tones in a single frame Children who blink, turn away or never stand still Party lighting such as string lights, DJ colours and candles Hundreds of candid frames that need sorting before anything is edited

Often, yes. When the same group was photographed in a burst, we can swap in a face from another frame as advanced retouching at $2.50 per frame.
Yes. Culling is $0.02 per RAW frame. We remove blinks and duplicates, keep every family combination, and then edit the keepers.
We correct for the light first, then check each person’s skin so that lighter and deeper skin tones both look natural, rather than applying one global correction that suits only some of the group.
