SOFTWARE I USE
The software I use to edit photos and videos, design visuals, build and manage my website, and handle client delivery and organization. These tools support both the creative and operational sides of my workflow, from editing through delivery.
PHOTO EDITING
Adobe Lightroom (Mobile & Desktop)
I use Adobe Lightroom for photo editing across both desktop and mobile. It’s where I handle color, tone, and final image refinement, allowing for a consistent look across different shoots and environments.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Illustrator
Photoshop and Illustrator are my primary tools for graphic design work, compositing, and asset creation. I use them for everything from visual elements and layouts to fine-detail image adjustments that go beyond standard photo editing.
VIDEO EDITING
DaVinci Resolve Studio is my main video editing platform. I use it for editing, color, and finishing video projects, from short-form content to longer cinematic pieces.
COLOR GRADING
I use the Dehancer plugin for film emulation and color grading, especially when I want a more textured, cinematic look in both photo and video work.
Use code SARASCHULTZ for 10% off Dehancer.
WEBSITE BUILDER
I built my website using Pixieset. It allows me to manage my portfolio, site design, and client-facing pages in one place while keeping everything clean and easy to update.
CLIENT MANAGEMENT TOOLS (Contracts, Galleries, Delivery)
Pixieset is also where I manage client contracts, gallery delivery, and final image distribution. It keeps the business side of my work streamlined without needing multiple platforms.
