Forget dogs and diamonds, an editor is your best friend


No, wait, I take back the dog part. Dogs are wonderful.

(But they're not super helpful when you're trying to curate your work.

You really do want a human for that.)


Going through your body of work to curate your portfolio can feel like trying to sort through a pile of river rocks. The images are all polished, they're all beautiful in their own way, and maybe they're all a little too similar. So when you try to narrow it down to the best ones, it can feel overwhelming and downright impossible. What does "best" mean anyway?? Well, I can help you figure that out. I'll find the answer unique to your work and your artistry, and then I'll put on my Editor's Hat and do the culling and curating for you. (For larger or more diverse bodies of work, we'll actually both wear that hat, but I'll walk you through the process and provide guidance, insight, and feedback all along the way.)

Curating your images can feel like sorting through a pile of river rocks. How do you even begin to pick?

Curation is a great way to get feedback on your work. By curating your images, I can illuminate not just areas for growth, but also strengths and themes that you might not see yourself.

I want to make sure I'm the right editor for you, so I have a questionnaire about your work and your needs.


Knowing your needs and the size of your project also helps to ensure you book the best package for you. Packages below are based on the number of images you submit, not the final number of images in the curated portfolio.

BOOK


Booking is simple: After some initial email conversations to decide the best package and approach for your portfolio, I'll send you available Kickoff dates and you book the one that works for you. After booking, I'll also send you details about how to submit your images.

CURATION


For small to mid-size projects, once I have your work I'll put on my Editor's Hat and dive into curation. I might have an occasional question, so it's good to keep an eye on your email, but you truly get to sit back and relax while the curating is done for you. You can expect this part of the process to last at least a week; your work deserves a thoughtful curation, and I want to ensure the process isn't rushed.


For larger engagements, the curation will be more of a collaborative, back-and-forth process, and it will most likely last several weeks. (But we'll discuss all that before booking.)

DELIVERY


At the end of the curation, I'll send you a digital package that includes my curated collection and any notes I have. My goal is for you to feel like magic happened, like a pile of laundry just folded itself.


Depending on the package you book, we may also have a follow-up call to dig into any questions you have about the curation and notes.

The number of images noted in each package reflects how many images you submit, not the final number of images in the curated portfolio. If you have a specific / target number for the curation you can let me know when you submit a request, but knowing that number isn't necessary.

As creatives, it can sometimes be difficult to see our work for anything other than how it was originally created…we have context & oftentimes emotional ties that prevent us from considering alternative ways of presenting our work to the world. Jessica offers a thoughtful perspective that allows you to see your work in new & unconsidered ways. 

 

Working with Jessica I felt like I had a partner in the creative process; she understood the ask at hand & reviewed my work with an editor’s eye. And being a photographer herself, she was able to provide technical as well as creative input & feedback. Simply put, she gets it. 

 

Cannot recommend working with Jessica enough; you & your work will grow in unforeseen ways!
