How Jessica Kobeissi Edits Golden Hour Portraits in Lightroom (And What I Stole From Her Workflow)

There’s a particular problem I run into every time a client sends me portraits shot in that narrow window just before sunset. The light is gorgeous in person, but RAW files from that hour often come back looking flat, slightly orange in the wrong places, and missing the warmth that made everyone excited on location. Getting from “flat golden hour RAW” to “this actually looks the way it felt” is a workflow problem I’ve been refining for years.
