First things first: Let’s figure out if outsourcing will be a good fit for your business

I’ve been where you are!

When I was doing my portrait photography business full time, known as Naturally Vivid Photography, I answered “yes” to all those questions too. I was at the point in my business where I had hit a wall. I needed to bring in more income, I had enough potential clientele to keep growing, but there just weren’t enough hours in the day to grow my business and still have the work-life balance that I wanted. I knew the answer was to find a kick-ass private photo editor to send my galleries to, so I could spend more time actually photographing and serving my clients. The issue was, I was so particular about the way I edited my images and all the minute adjustments I made, the thought of handing over my sessions to someone else legitimately terrified me. I put so much time and effort into each and every portrait session, that I was doubtful I could ever find an editor that would care as much as I did.

Life sure does have a funny way of working out, because now I get to BE the type of editor for other photographers, that I had been looking for when I was in your seat!

“I was on the fence about outsourcing for months. I could not wrap my head around the technical part of it and I was so hesitant to give up the control over my own work. But I knew it needed to happen to be able to continue to grow my business and keep my sanity. When I came across Becca I immediately felt encouraged and she was just so helpful and patient with me as I figured out what I was doing. Her ability to match my style is incredible and she can probably edit my work better than I can at this point. She is so easy to work with, professional, timely and her work is amazing. She has been invaluable to my business, and she is absolutely worth every penny!”

-Andrea Kelley Photography

"I started working with Becca last year, and I cannot say enough how much of a LIFESAVER she is! I originally had another editor, but found myself re-editing so many images when I'd receive a gallery back, so I knew it was time for a change. Because of this I was skeptical about outsourcing my editing again, but Becca instantly took away all of my fears. She edited a sample gallery for me, and every image came back perfect, no tweaks needed! She captured my style so quickly, and went above and beyond on every image, copying over every little edit. Not only is she a Lightroom wizard that saves me SO much time, but she is genuinely a nice person who is SO easy to communicate with. She always responds to my emails so quickly and with such kind words, I enjoy every interaction I have with her! If you are hesitant to outsource your editing, just know that I was in the same boat and Becca changed the game for me. I have no fears sending images her way and will be forever grateful for the time she gave back to me."

“I looked high and low for editors, made a list of different editors there styles what they offer the cost, and what I needed. As a photographer, I felt like I was giving up a part of my craft by outsourcing my editing but in order to grow I needed to delegated some tasks that someone else can do for me! When I found Becca and she was willing to taking on the big task of getting my style exactly how I wanted it. Mind you, I wanted brushwork and that can be very detailed and time-consuming. I find Becca is very easy to communicate with and takes correction amazing. Every time we work together I seem to keep being amazed by the work she does. This has given me more time to take on a bigger workload along with spending time with family, friends, and in my church community. I am so thankful to have found Becca and am excited for my business to keep growing because of her.”

"I am writing to share my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the incredible work you've been doing as my editor. Your dedication, attention to detail, and tireless efforts have not only elevated the quality of my work but have also saved me invaluable time.

Your commitment to perfection is truly commendable. The way you carefully edit each photograph, ensuring that every detail is perfect, reflects not only your skill but also your passion for the craft.

Your efficiency has streamlined my processes, and has allowed me to meet tight deadlines without compromising the quality of my work. It's a pleasure to work alongside someone who not only possesses exceptional editing skills but also approaches each collection with a genuine desire to deliver outstanding results.

I want to express my sincerest gratitude for being an invaluable member of my team. I feel incredibly fortunate to have you as my editor. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and for giving me back more time with my family!

Looking forward to another wonderful year ahead!"

“Becca has saved me COUNTLESS hours with her editing help. And I'm always so so impressed with the speed in which she returns my galleries. Seriously, she is FAST. If you're a photographer who is looking for a better work/life balance, hire Becca!!!”

-Mary Catherine Photography

"I truly couldn't survive without Becca! I'm a perfectionist through-and-through, and as my volume increased my painstaking editing practices became entirely unsustainable. While I still make adjustments to the final images, Becca has saved me COUNTLESS hours of agonizing and overanalyzing. I can rest a little easier knowing they have already had an artist's touch. I especially appreciate all of her efforts to match my Lightroom brushes and spot corrections. Thank you Becca!"

-Vanessa Bennish Photography

“Outsourcing my editing to Becca has been one of the best things I’ve done for my business and for myself! She has helped me get the time back to focus on other tasks, take on more clients, and best of all, spend more time with family and friends. She goes above and beyond to replicate my exact style and not to mention, her turnaround time is so fast. I couldn’t recommend Becca more!”

-Lily Morgan Photography

“Becca has been such a godsend! She listens to direction so well so that things go smoothly right off the bat. Between her quick turnaround time and doing an incredible job editing, I wouldn’t turn to anyone else!”

-Elisabeth Anne Photography

“Becca has been a life-saver, I was so worried about how they would look if they weren’t fully edited by me. Becca was able to replicate my edits perfectly and took the stress out of my busy wedding season. I recommend her to everyone 10/10!”

How outsourcing works:

 1. Fill out the inquiry form below:

My goal is to save you time, not take up all of your time! So when you fill out the inquiry form below, within 1 business day you’ll be sent a PDF guide with current pricing and turn-around times.

2. Test gallery and booking your spot:

After receiving the PDF guide, you can choose between seeing example galleries from other clients I edit for if you’d like to save time on your end, or I can do a complimentary test gallery for you. The test gallery can either be a current session you need to edit if you have one, or a past session, and will be finished within 3 days. When I send back your finished gallery, you’ll also receive the contract and retainer invoice to officially secure your spot with me if you’d like to! The retainer fee is $250 and is put towards each of your editing invoices until it is ALL used, no time-frame attached.

3. Send me your galleries:

Once you’re booked, you’re welcome to begin sending me galleries right away if you’d like to! The process for sending your galleries is so simple, and you’ll be able to work it into your workflow seamlessly. I’ll send you all the instructions, but all you’ll do is import your galleries into LR like usual and build smart previews upon import, edit a few anchor images for each gallery, export the catalog, and upload it to my Dropbox. After you receive the finished gallery back, simply download it to your computer, open the catalog in LR, review it and add any final touches if you’d like to, and export your images like usual.

4. Payment:

My clients also enjoy the convenience of paying just one invoice at the end of each month, for that entire month’s outsourced sessions, rather than having to pay before or immediately after each and every gallery. This means outsourcing to me is truly saving you time overall, rather than saving you editing time but increasing your admin work time.

FAQ:

 1. What does it cost to outsource to you?

My standard rates are detailed in the PDF guide you’ll be sent when you fill out the inquiry form below. Prices aren’t listed here publicly, because I need the personalized info about your business given in the inquiry form to give you an accurate pricing quote. Outsource editing is not always a one-size-fits-all situation, so I work with all of my photographers to create the outsourcing experience that best fits their business.

2. What are your turn-around times?

For 2024, all portrait sessions will be completed and back to you within 5 business days, and weddings within 2 weeks unless otherwise discussed with you.

3. Do I need to outsource ALL of my sessions to you if we partner?

Nope! You can send me just a portion of your sessions, or all of them. There’s no minimum or maximum amount of galleries required for my clients. Plus, if at any point in the year you’d like to take a little break for a few weeks and then pick back up again when you’re busier, you are absolutely welcome to do so!

4. Can i book in the beginning of the year, even if I don’t want to begin sending you galleries for a few months?

Absolutely! In fact, I recommend booking as soon as you know you’d like to outsource, because my editing spots for each year are limited. Even if you only want to send me galleries during fall, go ahead and get booked in the beginning of the year so your spot is secured!

5. What types of sessions are you willing to edit?

At this time I am accepting all types of portrait sessions and weddings, EXCEPT newborns! Preference is given to photographers who hope to outsource consistently throughout the year, but I also work with photographers who want to outsource for only a few months at a time.

6. Does my photography style have to match my editor’s photography style?

Not at all! Since I will be matching your images to your own anchor edits, I’m able to edit for any type of style. I currently have long-term clients with styles all across the spectrum from dark and moody to light and airy, and everything in between! Doing a test gallery is the best way to determine if I will be a good fit for you. To get an idea of my editing skill level, all the images you see on my site were shot and edited by me.

7. Do I need to use Lightroom to outsource to you?

Yes! Due to the need for catalogs and smart previews to send galleries back and forth, you do need to use Lightroom for outsourcing to me. You also need to be using the most updated version of Lightroom Classic.

8. What kind of editing adjustments do you do?

Outsourcing to me will include Lightroom adjustments, no Photoshop. I’ll match your images to your anchor edits using all adjustments available such as exposure, white balance, HSL adjustments, etc. I’ll also be doing minor cropping and straightening, blemish removal, and matching any and all brushwork/masking you do. This way, you’ll receive galleries back that are either completely ready for delivery, or ready for you to put your few final touches on them and then deliver.

9. Do i need a dropbox account to work with you?

Nope! Everything is done through my own Dropbox.

10. If I decide to outsource to you, am I locked into a contract for a certain amount of time?

Nope! The contract is simply to outline expectations and policies, and set us up for a positive working partnership. While my goal with every editing client is to foster a long-term working relationship, if at any time you feel like I am not the best fit for you, or you are no longer in a position to outsource, you can end our contract by written notice, no strings attached.
