Editing Online
Learning to Edit Outdoor Images
Learn to edit with Stevie Cruz Photography. You will see Stevie editing backlit and Green grass settings from start to finish. Her quick and simple process is explained via video format and you will be added to a private mentoring group online for ongoing discussions. Through the online editing course, you will see an overview of how I would edit a photo from a typical outdoor session. I will show you my process of manually editing in ACR and final tweaks in Photoshop (I use CS6).
Mentorships is done via online videos. I often add more content throughout the months so you have continued growth. I never want a mentee overwhelmed so I encourage you to watch little by little, so you can take in all the information. This is especially awesome if you are a visual learner. You can see what I am doing as I do it and I talk you through everything and of course you have the group to post any questions or feedback on your own images.
I Love the editing you did!! I've always been a fan and totally admire you as a person & photographer. - Amanda Kincade, Captured by Kincade Photography
I just love these!! Editing has always been the hardest for me and I feel like this is just the style I am looking to achieve. Kelli Oakes
What you will need:
Photoshop CC. (You do not need CC for these mentorships, but it is highly recommended it. I also recommend basic knowledge of Photoshop; such as Layers and brushes along with how they are used)
*Learn how I bring out the rich, vibrant colors to help make your images pop using simple techniques in ACR and Photoshop. While I won’t be editing in Lightroom, most of the tools available in Lightroom thus you should be able to replicate the keystrokes)
*As part of the mentoring, you will have access to a PRIVATE Facebook group to share images, ask questions, and receive feedback. To purchase a mentorship use this link to check out and pay online. You will receive an email with directions after you complete the purchase to get enrolled in the private group.
This is soooooo awesome and you are awesome for creating this. I swear its one thing after the next is better with you! Seriously these are amazing, I have a session I haven’t started editing yet but now I can’t wait. Giella Barbara Photography

You deserve to be in the pictures they keep.
The everyday cuddles. The way they fit against your shoulder. The smile you get just from holding them close.
Someday, your children will look at these photographs and see how much they were loved.
Send this to the parent who’s always behind the camera. 🤍

Those curls deserve a spot on the wall.
So does that little grin—and the proud dad holding him.
Warm light, soft earth tones, and your favorite people. A portrait that feels just as at home on your wall as it does in your heart.
Save this for your next family session’s outfit inspiration. I’m happy to help you pull everyone’s looks together.

One day, he’ll be too big to carry like this.
But you’ll have the curls, the little sneakers, and that smile tucked safely into a photograph.
A reminder of the season when Dad’s arms were his favorite place to be. 🤍
What little detail would you want to remember about your child right now?

A little time together, tucked beneath the redwoods. 🤍

They’re never too old for updated family pictures. 🤍
Teenagers grow and change just as quickly as little ones—and these years deserve to be remembered, too.
A warm embrace, golden backlight, and one beautiful reminder that no matter how grown they become, they’ll always be your babies.

Watching your son grow into the young man he’s becoming deserves to be remembered.
A portrait can capture so much more than how he looks right now—his confidence, personality, and everything that makes him uniquely him.
