Kristie Mangold Presets & Toolkit
10-Year Anniversary EditionAfter a decade behind the lens, pouring my heart into this craft, it brings me to tears (the good kind) to finally release something so personal and meaningful: the Kristie Mangold Presets & Toolkit — created in honor of 10 beautiful years in business.
These presets are more than just tones. They are built from the hues of my everyday inspiration — the golden warmth of a setting sun over a field, the muted blues of the ocean at dawn, the earthy richness of forest shadows, and the glow of a mother holding her child close. Each of the 12 thoughtfully crafted presets is rooted in the deep emotional connections I get to witness during sessions — those quiet in-between moments, laughter through tears, the love in a lingering touch.
This collection is for photographers who want their work to feel — to evoke, to remember, to preserve. The included customization toolkit gives you the freedom to tailor each edit to your own voice, while staying grounded in the rich, true-to-life tones that have become the heart of my style.
Releasing these now, after 10 years of growth, hustle, and immeasurable gratitude, feels like sharing a piece of my soul. Whether you’ve followed my journey or are just beginning yours, I hope these presets help you see the beauty in the ordinary and the extraordinary alike — and tell stories that last a lifetime.
