Presets
salt & earth. wayward alchemy. wayward revival wayward storyteller.
There is a pack for everyone. From the bold and vivid to the retro film look, I have created several packs to fit your vibe for both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Mobile. Head over to the shop to see them in action and join my Facebook group for free education and mentorship (as well as the presets in action!).

Salt & Earth Preset Pack
Salt and Earth presets are the OG presets I have been using since 2017. Here's the thing about moving every two years...your backdrops never stop changing. One year it's salt and air and ocean haze, the next it's deep forest green. Then suddenly you're standing in the middle of the desert wondering why every preset you own is turning the sand to orange.
I built Salt and Earth because I needed edits that could keep up with a life that wouldn't sit still.
What it's for:
Oceans. Forests. Deserts. Golden Fields. Grey Skies. Everything in between. If the light changes, Salt and Earth keeps up with rich color, punchy but never fake, the kind of edit that feels nostalgic and alive at the same time.
What's inside:
16 color + 2 black & white presets = 18 total
Built to pair with the Salt and Earth AI Brush Pack, so you can push skies, deepen shadows, and clean up your light in a couple clicks (with out having to spend all night dodging and burning, my friends!).
Who it's for?
Photographers who shoot everywhere and want their gallery to feel like them - cinematic, bold, colorful, vivid, magical images - no matter the climate, the season, or the zip code.

I absolutely hate when you go to buy a preset pack and it's not the true before and after. These were all ONE CLICK with the 18 presets that are included in Salt and Earth Preset Pack. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at waywardandwildphotography@gmail.com.
Wayward Alchemy
This pack was created to preserve light and color as it was. Not over exaggerated, not trend-driven. Honest and enduring. Great for weddings, lush green fields, indoor work, and natural scenery. This collection brings warmth, balanced tones with variety, and controlled depth to each image. Skin tones stay true, greens mind their business, and it truly is my softest, most true to color pack. Designed specifically for photographers who want their work to age well, this pack includes 16 color presets and 1 black and white preset.

Mentorships
I've been doing this for over a decade now and I'll tell you anything you want to know. There is no weird gate-keeping, no vague-posting, no "book a call to find out my secrets, Frodo Baggins." Pick the one below that matches how stuck you are.
From learning how the heck to use your camera, to learning the crevices of Lightroom and Photoshop, how to create your own brand voice and style, to coming along on a shoot with me, to being your biggest foam finger waving in the stands as you stand up or improve your business - I gotchu.

FAQ
Will we learn about posing and people skills with the mentorship?
Yes - this is one of the entire reasons this exists.
Posing isn't a list you memorize and deploy. it's reading the family in front of you, knowing what to say when the four-year old goes boneless and saggy-butt from being tired, and getting people to forget you're standing their half a foot away from their face. That's the actual skill, and almost nobody teaches it these days because everything is about stylized this and stylized that and it doesn't fit into a PDF.
We will work on directing REAL people, in real light, in real time. You'll leave knowing what to say.
Who are these mentorships designed for?
From moms who want to learn how to use their camera up to experienced photographers who need a new "oomph" in their pants with direction, their business, or editing. You don't need to be advanced. In the words of the Army, for everybody ladidadi.
What if I don't know which mentorship to get?
