Just this past year I’ve learned the deep importance of a good lightroom preset. Through styling my instagram a little bit more consistently, this has brought my eyeballs and my creativity immense joy. I really really like editing photos! It’s my favorite part about any shoot.

Lighting & Photography

Something else to consider is the time of day in which you take photos. I almost always never shoot past golden hour, because there’s less you can do when the lighting sucks. You could make artificial light, but the presets I’ve offered don’t look as poppin’, unfortch. (Although I will say, that new iphone 12 pro has hellllla good night mode).

Speaking of iPhone, you can definitely get away with using JUST your smart phone camera these days. Although, if you can shoot in raw, that’s typically best practice for custom Lightroom editing beyond any presets.

Purchase Your Presets:

I will be completely transparent when I say, installing the .DNG files is the hardest part, but don’t be discouraged. It took me so long to figure it out, but, it’s very much worth your time in the long run. You got this : )
