What software do you use to edit photos?
We get this question a lot and at this moment we only edit photos with Lightroom. We only use the latest versions of Lightroom, this way you know that your brand new camera is supported with us and that the newest features can be used to edit your photos even better.
If you don’t work with Lightroom yet, Lightroom is one of the best photo editing software for photographers, so if you work with Photoshop you really should give it a try!
So you don’t edit photos in Photoshop?
Not really true, there is a workaround!
What is a photo editing service?
A photo editing service is a service where you can outsource your photos to as a professional wedding photographer for both culling photos or photo editing. We from The Editing Studio are a photo editing service and make sure that we cull and edit all the photos for photographers when they need it, this could be helpful in the busy wedding season.
Outsourcing your images can be helpful if you’re busy during the wedding season, want to increase revenue by taking more jobs or just want to Netflix and chill, which I can’t blame you.

5 benefits of outsourcing your photo editing
The benefits of outsourcing your photo editing!
We provide a photo editing service for professional photographers. By outsourcing your photo editing you can speed up your workflow and free up some extra time to watch Netflix or to photograph some extra weddings!
Why should you outsource your photo editing?
By outsourcing the things that are holding you back in your business, you can do more of the things that you love to do.
You became a photographer to take pictures all day of all the pretty things in life. Oh boy, were you wrong. Not only you’re a photographer, you’re now also doing your finances, e-mail, marketing, meetings and lots of photo editing. All these things are happening behind your computer, not out in the field like you were hoping too!
I have coached a lot of wedding photographers over the last few years and they will always tell me that the few things that are holding them back in their business is their photo editing or workflow. Since a few years I offer Workflow Workshops.
Sometimes it is so time-consuming that some of my clients are spending more than 15 to 20 hours behind their computer editing pictures. This adds a lot of stress during the wedding season and this is for sure holding you back in your business, no time for marketing, blogs or other stuff that can increase your revenue.
Imagine this: in the wedding season you have 1 or 2 weddings every weekend. Let’s say you’ve photographed 6 to 8 weddings in your busiest month and the next months you will have more weddings to photograph. This is where the stress kicks in; you now have 8 to 10 weddings that needs approximately 20 hours work each. This time is spend behind your computer and not growing your business or doing things that you love!
I know it’s a big step to trust a photo editor with your precious photos and editing. But it can also make a huge difference for you to free yourself from your editing cave and grow your business again. In this blog post we will discuss 5 reasons why you need to outsource your photo editing!
You can’t do it all on your own!
Everyone has 24 hours a day, but sometimes you wished it were 48 hours to just complete your to-do-list. Especially during the summer, photographers are quite busy with all of the weddings, culling, photo editing etc. There is just not enough time in a day or week to do it on your own.
Compare it to your personal life. There are all kinds of stuff on your to-do-list that you need to do during the day. You can do it all on your own, but not in the time you want it, so it probably would be better if you get help from friends or family.
For example: household tasks. You can do these things by yourself, but probably not in the timeframe your want it to and can cause stress and lack of productivity.
You’re a business owner and probably work everyday, but you also have kids, a life and in need of some free time. You need some time to chill, hang out with friends, do some nice things with your lover or kids or just binge watch some new Netflix series.
Photo editors are editing specialists!
You have a unique style. That style is important to you because that is what get you booked, people love your style and that is who you are as a photographer.
You can focus on everything that goes in to your beautiful photos such as; lighting and posing to create the beautiful photos. But after you’re done with shooting and culling you need to edit. Let us do that for you, let us focus on making your photos even better with color correction in Lightroom, so you can focus on more important tasks.
We will match your unique style by using your presets and by filling out our Get started forms. We will match your style and will always send you a sample to make sure this is what you’re looking for!
People really want their photos!
You came back from a wedding and you wake up the next day to an e-mail of your client from yesterday, when they can receive their photos, all of them. We’ve all been there, right?
By outsourcing your photo editing you can speed up your turnaround time by a lot.
Your clients will be still in heaven when they receive their photos and you don’t fall far behind during the wedding season!
You will also get loads of free time by outsourcing your photo editing, that you can invest in your business and get new clients for next year.

Another reason to outsource your photo editing is to do more of what makes you happy. Spend less time behind the computer and more time taking pictures.
