Evoto for Newborn Photography: The Complete Guide to Professional AI Editing

Years before I started using Evoto for newborn photography, I was living in LA and fresh out of photography school. I landed what felt like a dream job – an internship doing celebrity retouching. When they offered me a paid position after my internship ended, I was thrilled. At 24, having only ever made minimum wage, the $25/hour felt like millions.

But there was a catch I didn’t understand at the time: billable hours.

Why Using Evoto for Your Newborn Photography Editing Changes Everything

Here’s how it worked: A job would come in and they’d say “this is worth 1 billable hour.” You’d do the job and get paid $25. If it took you 15 minutes? Great, you just made the equivalent of $100/hour. But if it took you 5 hours? You still only got $25.

I was new. It was 2007 – no generative AI, no neural filters. Everything we did was completely by hand. My supervisor was wildly particular and constantly sent me back to work on images again and again until they were perfect.

I never got jobs done even close to the allocated time. I was making about $5/hour while learning that time is literally money. The longer a task takes you, the less you’re paid for that same work.

But here’s what happened: I got fast. Really fast.

Now, my stickler supervisor was annoying as hell at the time. But she taught me something crucial: you can’t just phone it in to make more money. Quality still matters. The end result has to be perfect, whether it takes you 15 minutes or 5 hours.

So how do you get both speed AND quality for your newborn photography?

The answer isn’t working harder or longer hours. It’s understanding your tools so well that you can work smarter. (and therefore make more money!)

Mastering Evoto’s Newborn Editing Tools: Understanding vs. Guessing

That’s exactly why Evoto is such a game-changer for newborn photographers. But here’s the thing – most photographers are using it all wrong. They’re treating it like a magic wand instead of learning what the tools actually do. They upload an image, try a few random presets, and hope something works. When it doesn’t, they either give up or spend way too much time clicking through every preset available.

Even worse, when a preset gets them halfway there, they don’t know how to adjust it because they never learned what each slider or setting actually controls. So they either accept a mediocre result or start over with a different preset entirely.

The result? A body of inconsistent work. Their Instagram looks like it belongs to five different photographers because they’re using different presets for each session without understanding how to maintain their signature style. They can’t replicate results because they don’t actually know what created them in the first place.

The Problem with Evoto Presets for Newborn Photography

Sure, there are vendors out there with incredible one-click presets for Evoto. They’re powerful and can fix most common newborn issues instantly. But when you don’t understand what’s happening behind those presets, you end up playing a guessing game.

Which preset do I use for this jaundiced baby? What about when the feet are red but the face looks fine? And what happens when that preset gets you 80% of the way there but needs tweaking?

Here’s another problem: the people who make these presets try to get all fancy with their names. They use titles like “Polished Perfection” and “Baby Soft” so you’re guessing about what they actually do. You click around attempting to maybe find one that will work for the image you’re currently working on, and when you don’t, you have no idea how to fix it.

You’re basically playing preset roulette, hoping something will work. (And spending a fortune on presets in the process)

Learning Professional Evoto Techniques for Newborn Photographers

That’s exactly why I created “The Newborn Photographer’s Guide to Evoto.”

This isn’t about memorizing which preset to click. It’s about understanding how each tool works so you can:

• Handle challenging cases that don’t fit standard presets

In 20 focused videos (each under 10 minutes), you’ll learn my complete workflow for:

Evoto for Your Newborn Photography Business: Speed + Quality = Profitability

Whether you charge per session or per hour, faster editing with consistent quality means more money in your pocket. You can take on more clients, deliver faster, and stop feeling like you’re working for free when a session takes forever to edit.

Here’s where my billable hours story becomes crucial for your photography business: think about every client session as a billable hour. What’s the fastest way to complete each editing task while maintaining the quality your clients deserve and you’re known for?

Let’s say you charged $1200 for a session and spent 3 hours shooting and 3 hours editing – that’s $200/hour total. But if that same editing takes you 5 hours because you’re fumbling around with presets and can’t get consistent results? Now you’re down to $150/hour.

What if instead of adding 2 hours you were able to shave 2 hours off and get that editing time down to just 1 hour? All of a sudden you’re making twice as much money and have 4 extra hours to either spend time with your family or taking more clients.

When you understand exactly which tools fix which problems, when you can quickly assess an image and know exactly what adjustments it needs. When you can create consistent results every time – that’s when your editing becomes profitable instead of a time sink.

That’s what understanding your tools can do for your business. It’s the difference between working harder and working smarter.
