Welcome!!
Below you will find a breakdown of the differences between Scheduled and unscheduled sessions and the options included with each!
Our goal is to offer the highest quality of services to anyone who chooses to use the services of Cinnamon Wolfe Editing in a way that works best for how you run your photography business! We want to give you the flexibility to either maintain a schedule with us or drop catalogs whenever you need while also balancing our ability to provide quality work in a timely fashion.
For the purposes of both categories below the following will apply:
Wedding Catalog: 500+ images included to be edited
Portrait Catalog: less than 500 images included to be edited
Scheduled Sessions
Ideal for: Photographers who are booked in advance throughout the year, want quicker return times and prioritize working with a single editor.
Maintain your schedule
Simply add your sessions to your schedule and then once you drop you session for editing, you can choose your return time. In order for a session to be qualified as a “scheduled session” it must be on the schedule (google sheet) by the following deadlines:
Weddings - 21 days prior to submitting
Portrait - 5 days prior to submitting
Return time selection options:
You will make these selections for every session that is on your schedule when you drop* them
Weddings:
Rush return: 5 biz days return +50% invoice total
Regular return: 10 biz days
Relaxed return: 18 biz days + 10% discount of invoice total
Portrait:
Rush return: 2 biz days +50% invoice total
Regular return: 5 biz days
* Max deadline to drop a catalog is 90 days from the date listed on the schedule. If you do not drop in 90 days the catalog will be considered removed and the removal fee will be charged.
Rate
.41/image edited in the catalog which includes basic masking/removal (subject or sky masks + minimal removals)
*Advanced masking (brushes, radials, gradients) will be assessed and quoted on a per catalog basis. Please discuss with your editor when sending in a catalog with any advanced masking applied.
Removals
If you opt to remove a catalog that is on your schedule within 45 days before the scheduled date OR if you inform us after the date has passed that you will no longer be sending in the catalog the following removal fees will apply:
Weddings: $200
Portraits: first 5 are free, after that $50 each
Removals greatly affect our ability to schedule and forecast. If you do not want to be held to the schedule and risk removal fees, utilize the Unscheduled Sessions option instead!
Unscheduled Sessions
Ideal for: Photographers who may not be booked out in advance but still want to utilize an editor, or those who are less interested in maintaining a schedule and would rather drop catalogs only if they absolutely need to.
Session will be counted as dropped once the following three things are completed:
Drop the session into your dropbox folder
Fill out the info on the Unscheduled Sessions tab of your google sheet
Fill out the Unscheduled Session Drop Form
Return time selection options:
Weddings:
Rush return: 7 biz days +50% invoice total
Regular return: 14 biz days
Relaxed return: 21 biz days + 10% discount of invoice total
Portrait
Rush return: 4 biz days + 50% invoice total
Regular return: 8 biz days
Rate
.55/image edited in the catalog which includes basic masking/removal (subject or sky masks + minimal removals)
*Advanced masking (brushes, radials, gradients) will be assessed and quoted on a per catalog basis. Please discuss with your editor when sending in a catalog with any advanced masking applied.
Removals
Do not apply as there is no schedule maintained
Important Info:
Every photographer who maintains a schedule with us will be working with one editor exclusively. We can not guarantee specific editors for those who submit unscheduled sessions due to the unpredictability of drops. We will always try our best to assign catalogs to either your requested editor or an editor who has already worked on your catalogs, but we can not provide a guarantee. Quality and consistency will always increase if you are able to maintain a schedule with us, but we understand that doesn’t always work for some photographers.
