The Benefits of a Workflow

When you finish editing and delivering your own wedding you shot #likeaboss under 3 days. 🤞😁 Sure, to any nay sayers, this was a shorter wedding. Longer weddings take an extra day or so to make time to work on the rest of the edits in between family, life and everything else that comes with running your own business. We wear multiple hats! But what if I told you, you could outsource your editing?
I follow the same process as I teach my photographers who I edit for to do: Culling, separating all the photos from the day into categories, anchor edits, picking your sneak peeks and stomping them to share online Facebook, editing the rest of the catalog, saving the catalog, saving the full res images, and then uploading for the client online to deliver. Next is Instagram and blogging for me and their flash drive sent out tomorrow. It took around 8+ hours total from culling to delivering. How?! When you have a workflow in place and you edit multiple weddings in a week, y'all, you get faster! An editor has the experience of editing multiple weddings. Last October, I edited 30 weddings in one month, 34 weddings in November, and 18 in December. I think you would be surprised if I told you how many I edit in a year. It's crazy awesome and definitely work, but I have that drive to do it, plan ahead, implement workflows, and get it done!! If you struggle with your workflow or balancing your life and work, you should seek some help, and hire a private editor to give you your life and time back for the things most important to you! **Need some help with your wedding edits?? I'm your gal! I only have 2 spots left for full timers to fill this year! Click on my website in my profile and send me an email. I promise it will be a game changer for your business!!! 😁

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...

Five Outsourcing Tips for Photographers

Happy Monday!! I've been away from blogging on a little blogging break and I'm back, ready to share five tips to help outsource your photo edits smoothly after you've found the right editor. See Part 1 and Part 2 on finding the right private photo editor first if you missed these posts! :-) Tip #1 : Know your style! A private photo editor is mainly for someone who already knows their style, what presets they like to use, their artistic approach, and so on! Our job is to match your style, not create one for you. Tip #2: Work on SOOC and Your Pre-Edits SOOC= Straight out of camera. Providing those anchor images for each scenario at a wedding or session really helps us to know what you want your photos to look like. The more you work on SOOC, the easier it is to actually make a preset for your photos too! A lot of my seasoned photographers have custom presets they use. I always suggest a sample anchor or two for each part of the day or different background. I also ask ...

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...
