Mikaela! This is awesome. It’s so inspiring to learn that you do almost all your editing in Lightroom, and that you’ve created such a streamlined workflow. Awesome post.

Great post! When you do preview > render standard sized previews, is this how you then save them and post on your blog or do you do something else? I use BlogStomp to create the border around my images and then stamp it with my name, but sometimes I have issues resizing accordingly, especially to images I’ve cropped in LR. Please help. I’d love to have something to just resize and then post online.

Thank you.

Oh my gosh, Mikaela! I haven’t visited your blog in a little while so I’m not sure when all the new changes came to be, but it’s absolutely beautiful! I love it!

Thanks for sharing Mikaela! It’s always interesting to see how other photographers edit. I too am a big fan of lightroom! xx

OMG thank you SO much! I love that you keep your editing at minimum and still get those gorgeous colors and light! Thank you for taking the time to do this :)

Would love to know what you do under highlights in split tone controls. Do you bump your highlights up brighter and if so how much? I’m curious as I think highlights in my photos would be clipping too bright. Also, what does clarity actually do? (dumb question). Thanks for this post, very informative. I’ve been under the impression that most all photographers work with presets and more in photoshop than lightroom. Your lightroom techniques sound very similar to what I do. I thought I was a loner!

Fabulous tips, Mikaela! Curious to know what adjustments you make under split toning – highlights as thats a box i’ve never touched! And it would be amaaazing to have a post written about finding/seeing nice light and natural reflectors. The light in your photos is always so beautiful!!

@lindsay – the same preset is applied to all photos and then I go back and adjust things if need be :)

Great post, thanks! Does the lightroom preset apply the same settings to each photo or does it apply according to what the photo needs? Hope thats not confusing, thanks! Not sure exactly how presets work. :)
