Presets for Editing Beach Photo Sessions
I recently asked the Story Keeper Facebook community what their favourite presets are for editing beach images. Many amazing images were submitted so I’ve rounded up the picks of the bunch. This will give you an inside look at how the SK presets look and perform in a whole lot of different lighting situations, from different camera bodies and styles of shooting.
There are three Story Keeper Preset packs available ~ The Heirloom, Kindred and Signature Packs. Each pack contains a mix of colour and black and white presets. Below you will see a few of the favourite presets from each pack that the SK community love the most for editing beach images.
The Heirloom Preset Pack
THE FLORA PRESET
The classic all rounder! This preset is so versatile and has just the right amount of warmth and punch.
THE OCEAN PRESET
A well loved option for beachside settings, the Ocean preset is warm with a hint of teal undertones and soft greens.
THE ELM PRESET
Elm is the holy grail of warmth, soft dreamy whites, depth and a whole lot of punch all rolled into one. If you love warm tones, true whites and more desaturated greens, this one’s for you. Warm it up or down to achieve the look you love as demonstrated below.

THE MARLOW PRESET
Marlow is a classic beauty that is so versatile and works on a number of lighting situations. Marlow (soft & full) is a beautiful option for golden hour beach imagery and Marlow full is a life saver for full sun beach imagery.

THE POPPY PRESET
Dripping with nostalgia and warmth for days. Poppy is the perfect combo of tones if you’re after those brown warm vibes and a whole lot of depth. Warm it up or down depending on the look you’re going for.
