Lovely Notes
REAL QUOTES FROM REAL CLIENTS
“After sending instructions and examples, Mandy nailed the design I had in mind!”
Mandy did in two days what the previous company couldn’t do in two months. I am thrilled with her work and most importantly her communication and professionalism.
“Mandy’s attention to detail and ability to understand what I was looking for made the process an excellent experience!”
She understood exactly what I was looking for and paid close attention to my branding details resulting in a perfect final product. I refer everyone to Mandy and Light & Balance Editing!
“Mandy’s skills did not disappoint!”
To commemorate a special anniversary, I wanted a high quality edited copy of an old photo, but didn’t know where to start. When I took my request to Mandy, I was vague, but she listened to what I was trying to achieve. Now we have a beautiful memory on display in our home. I highly recommend Light & Balance Editing!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Anchor Images?
Anchor images are a selection of images you edit to your style before sending over your catalog. This gives me examples of exactly what your style is so that I can match it and provide you with final edits that are exactly what you are looking for.
What is your pricing?
I charge a flat per image rate for my basic editing. Advanced editing and Culling services are an additional per image rate. Video editing services are charged by an hourly rate. All pricing will be discussed upfront before we begin your onboarding.
Do you work with RAW files?
Yes! I will work with RAW files if that is your preference. However, I do strongly suggest the use of Smart Previews. If you would like to learn more about Smart Previews, watch this video.
What is the Turnaround time?
Typically portrait catalogs will be completed in 1 – 3 business days from your appointment date and wedding catalogs within 3 – 5 business days. Video editing turnaround timeframes are typically 5 – 7 business, but may be longer depending on the complexity of the project and will be discussed beforehand.
