10 Signs You Need To Outsource To A Private Photo Editor


Hi there! For those who may not know me, My name is Jennifer. I am a private photo editor based out of Texas. Within one year, the editing side of my business has grown to be just as successful as the photography side of my business. It has been very exciting to see all the growth and changes in my life the last few months. I'm not sure when I really recognized my editing capabilities, but I remember one thing all of my photography clients kept saying in their reviews. They kept mentioning the experience they were having with my serving them. With amazing clients and reviews, it didn't come easily. I worked really hard to bring clients an awesome experience. To this day, I am still delivering photos within a week or less. All of that said, seeing clients being wowed over my delivery and return, I started to notice a strength in my editing and noticed a need for photographers in my industry who were wanting help to grow their businesses. With any business that is growing, there eventually will be an increase in production or work, which leads to outsourcing or hiring help.
  Outsourcing can be a scary thing to do with your business, and I totally get that. Your photos and your style are your "baby". But what if I told you with the right private photo editor you could make sure your style is consistent and represents your style and business in the best way you could ever imagine? Most established photographers have an undeniable strength in creating beauty in their photos and they have their style already down, but are stuck at their computers 24/7. So their business is either at a stand still, or they are overwhelmed with weddings, sessions, editing, marketing, emails, you name it! The right editor has developed a system, workflow, and is able to match a photographer's style in less time than the photographer himself.

Every week, I keep getting emails like this from my editing clients:

You are so fast I can’t even wrap my brain around it haha. Thank you so much - you rock!

Or this:
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 😘
I can't begin to describe the weight that has been lifted off my shoulders by working with you. You are so fast and thorough!!!

So here it is, y'all!

10 Signs You Need To Outsource To A Private Photo Editor:

1.Time is Money- You are spending so much time on $10-14/hr jobs in your business, that you don't have time to do more important things that grow your business, like courses, marketing, seo.

2.You are losing touch with your family and friends. Being glued to a computer all day, means no time with your family and friends. And you are missing out!

3.You work a full time job in addition to your photography business and are having trouble enhancing your clients experiences because of the lack of time you have with editing and "work, work."

4.You are stuck at your computer 24/7! Owning and running your own business doesn't mean you should be a slave to your business!

5.Demand for your services are increasing. Which is a good thing. More business = financial stability.

6.You have to turn away sessions or weddings because you are too busy. Or you say yes, and you are constantly playing catch up.

7.You find yourself behind on emails, customer service, print or book orders, and don't have as much time to market, blog, etc.

8.You haven't been able to do something you enjoy in your business like a styled shoot, collaboration with other vendors, teaching workshops, etc.

9..You just feel stuck and are not enjoying photography as much as you used to before you started growing. Remember how nice it was when you didn't get overwhelmed by all the different aspects of your business?

10.You've actually considered outsourcing, but are afraid to try it out of the fear of losing your creative control over your style. You've worked so hard and wouldn't want to lose it by getting an editor, right?

All of these signs have been mentioned by the photographers I work with and edit for now. And today, they all tell me they don't regret outsourcing and wouldn't look back.  I know the secret to keeping your style and not losing creative control over your pictures. And I love editing so much, that I do it full time for other photographers. I love serving and helping my clients! It's a win win, folks!

Fun Facts

FUN FACTS. If you're new on my page, my name is Jennifer and I'm the face behind my camera. I have been shooting weddings and families for almost 7 years now! My oldest boy inspired me to take photos when he turned 1 and good old Pinterest came out. Am I showing my age?  🙊  I was inspired to shoot weddings after I made the mistake of having someone with a fancy camera take our wedding photos! If you ever talk to me, you'll know that that's a no, no! You can't repeat your day o f wedding photos.  But, thankfully my husband and I were able to do anniversary pictures a few years ago and I'm so thankful we did that! I love so many and have so many favorites from that shoot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some things about me: I love peanut butter, I love to sing in the car by myself, I am over 6ft tall- yep! I'm practically a giant, haha. My husband ordered a ring off of a guy online and he tried to cheat him out of a ring. Long story short, my first wedding ring en...

What's Calling You?

WHAT'S CALLING YOU? I am such a sap for inspirational music, especially from favorite movies. Take for instance this song from Moana. 🙈 But it speaks to my heart and desires every.single.time my little T plays this movie. 😁 Sometimes the things you know you desire and want to do in your life makes no sense to either yourself or others. And that's OKAY! Be true to yourself, follow what you know to be true and right in your life, and don't hesitate because of what others think you should be doing. You've got this! 💛 .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kjlightingcourse⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kjbusinessjourney⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kjconsistencycourse⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kjposingcourse⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kjeducation ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kjeverything haha⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #presetslightroom ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #privatephotoeditor⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #privatephotoediting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #girlbossparty ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #savvybusinessowner ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #communityovercompetition ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dontquityourdaydream ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #entrepreneurlifestyle ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #theeverydayproje...

Well Hello Again, Monday!

HELLO MONDAY. I'm actually feeling pretty good this morning! Here's a cute pic of my boys and one of my favorite flowers besides tulips- bluebonnets!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started using the Fitbit 3 this weekend to set alarms, track my activity, water intake, & get moving a lot more than just my workouts. Sitting in front of a computer daily: editing, creating content, and all.the.things of behind the scenes during your work day really adds up. Working from home can sometimes be HARDER for me to make time for myself. Because I am my own boss, and have a list of things to do, it seems to grow like the infamous "honey do" list and I try to wear all the hats. 😂😁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This weekend I took time to finish up a mini video tutorial. I also went for a much needed massage and I'm fired up for the week, ready to take this work week in stride! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's on the agenda for you today or this week? Need some motivation or encouragem...
