When you’re editing dozens (or even sometimes hundreds) of newborn photos each week, every minute behind the screen counts. As a newborn photographer and busy mom, I pride myself on delivering timeless images that parents will love forever—but I also need to stay efficient without sacrificing quality. That’s where Evoto’s batch editing has become a total game-changer in my workflow.
Why Batch Editing Matters for Newborn Sessions
Newborn photography isn’t just about capturing a cute yawn or tiny fingers—it’s about consistency. My galleries need to feel cohesive: skin tones should match, blankets should be clean and neutral, and distractions in the background need to be cleaned up smoothly. But doing this manually for every single image? That used to take me hours.
With Evoto, I can apply edits across an entire session while still preserving the softness and care that these images deserve.
My Workflow Using Evoto’s Batch Editing
Here’s how I typically use Evoto to streamline my editing:
1. Load the Full Gallery at Once
After culling my RAWs in Lightroom, I export the selected images and upload the full set into Evoto in one go. This saves me from toggling back and forth between platforms.
2. Edit a “Hero” Image First
I choose one photo from the session—the one with the best light, clearest expression, and most even tones—and fully edit it. I adjust:
- Skin retouching (Evoto does an amazing job preserving that newborn softness). My favorite feature for newborn photo editing is the skin retouching section. Select the skin tone and lower opacity to create even creamy skin textures.
- Tone and white balance (neutral and creamy is my go-to) in the color adjustment section.
- Background cleanup (removing any wrinkles or distractions in the click of a button)
- Eye & lip enhancement (subtle, if baby’s eyes are open)
3. Apply Settings to the Whole Set
Once that “hero” image is ready, I use Evoto’s batch feature to copy those settings and apply them to the rest of the gallery. The AI does a great job adapting the edits—so even if the lighting shifts slightly or the pose changes, the final look still feels cohesive.
4. Quick Tweak Pass
I spend 5–10 minutes doing a quick run-through. Most photos look amazing right out of the batch, but if I need to do tiny adjustments (like smoothing a wrap or toning down a shadow), I can do it right there inside Evoto.
Real Talk: How Much Time I’m Saving
Before I started batch editing with Evoto, a typical newborn session would take me about 3–4 hours to edit. Now? I’m down to about 1–1.5 hours, start to finish—including export.
That’s not just good for me—it’s good for my clients. Parents get their galleries faster, and I can book more sessions or simply enjoy a little more life outside of work.
Evoto’s batch editing has completely transformed how I handle my post-processing. As a newborn photographer, I need tools that are both gentle and efficient—and this one checks all the boxes.
If you’re still editing each image one at a time, I highly recommend giving batch editing a shot. You might just find yourself falling in love with editing again (or at least, not dreading it ).
