4 Signs It’s Time to Outsource Your Photo Editing
It sneaks up on you.
One day, you’re happily shooting a wedding. It’s fun and exhilarating and you feel like a rock star!
The next thing you know, you’ve shot 5 weddings in one month and their delivery dates are looming like tax day in April.
Where did the time go? How are you going to get all the photos edited in time?
Well, it might be time to outsource your photo editing.
And hiring a private photo editor can be one of the best decision you make in your photography business.
Here are four signs that it’s time to find a photo editor to work with you.
Sign #1. You're Behind
You're behind on delivering photo galleries to your clients. (And getting more behind!)
Trust me, every photographer and photo editor knows what this feels like: It’s the classic car chase in a movie. Or being chased by your kids. ;)
This may only happen seasonally (whew!) but what if it didn’t have to happen at all?
Sign #2. You're Burnt Out
Does the thought of opening Lightroom to do more editing fill you with dread?
Is your inner two-year-old doing it kicking and screaming inside?
Or have you been staring at your screen SO LONG that you can’t seem to see colors correctly? 😵💫
You're getting burnt out with your photo editing. Time to get help!
SigN #3. You're Missing Family Time
Would you rather be on the floor playing with your kids? Or taking them outside to have fun?
Or maybe you’ve been missing family events like recitals, sports, etc.?
You have a business to run but it doesn’t have to run your whole life. A private photo editor can help so you can get back your family time.
Sign #4. You're Neglecting Yourself
Have you showered today? Eaten anything? How about sleep?
Editing can take over your every waking hour before you even realize. You might be tempted to skip eating, sleeping, showering, etc. just to fit in all the editing on your plate.
But you KNOW that’s not good.
Before you end up having a melt down (or at least another melt down), find a photo editor who can help you with the load.
Having an extra hand will help you show up to your clients as your best self when you’re well-rested, well-fed and feel good about yourself.
