I’ve been editing my newborn photos with Imagen AI for the past several months, and it’s completely transformed my digital workflow, for the better!
I’ve been a film photographer most of my career
I’ve been a film photographer since starting my business in 1999. And one to the things I love about working with film is the workflow!
When using film, I do most of the “editing” work in camera.
I make sure my light is good and my settings are right. I choose a film stock whose color profile and grain texture I like. Then I shoot, and send the film off to the lab where they develop and scan my negatives. The images are returned to me as jpegs, and all I have to do is cull, straighten (because I can not shoot straight 😂) and make a few small edits.
When I shoot on film, editing an entire newborn session takes about 15 minutes. And that has never been possible when working with digital files.
Until now.
Imagen AI
Imagen AI is an AI powered editing service that has truly blown my mind! They have turned my digital workflow into something that is just as easy and fast as when I work with film. What used to take hours can now be done in just a few minutes! I
Game. Changer.
And the results are beautiful!!! Just look at these before and after images!

When editing my newborn photos with Imagen AI, I follow a lot of the same steps I do when working with film.
I make sure my light is good and my settings are right. Then I upload the images into Lightroom, cull and send them off to Imagen to do the rest! The AI edits and even straightens them for me!!! (It will also cull and smooth skin if you want it to!)
The images are done in minutes, perfect and ready to send to my clients!
The Sandra Coan Studios Imagen AI Profile
I was SO impressed with the results I was getting with Imagen, that I reached out to them about creating a Sandra Coan Studio Profile to share with my community, and they were all in!
The Sandra Coan Profile is sort of like a preset you can edit with when using Imagen AI.
This profile was designed to produce that same classic color film look I love so much. Light and airy with peachy skins tones, soft shadows and just a hint of grain!
This profile is a great fit for photographers who work in studio or on location with either natural light or artificial light, BUT it’s ideal for photographers who have taken The Missing Link or are in my Certification Program and already use The Sandra Coan Method™ for lighting!
