Photo Turn-Around for Photographers

Hey there, friend! Ever wonder why it takes photographers so long to turn around photos? Well, there are several factors that come into play here. Let’s take a little look into the editing process of a photographer.

Your photographer is an artist.

An artist has a certain amount of time they need to be able to work with & in to create something beautiful, meaningful, & complete.

Your photographer runs a business.

Taking our time (whatever amount that may be) is quality assurance. We don't just want to do our job; we also want to do it well. Your memories are so important to us, you know?

Your photographer is a human.

Hey, you’re a human, so I know you understand. We have loved ones & ourselves to take care of. There are places we want to be or things we need to do. So, we’ve got to do them.

The Bottom Line

If you are trusting someone to tell your story, then trust their time. It doesn't matter if someone else does it differently or even if you feel they should do it differently. They have their reasons for the way they do things & it's 100% for both of your benefits.

If you made it to the end of this & I could leave you with some encouragement:

Clients: I promise it's worth the wait.

Photographers: Be committed to the deadlines you establish. Before you book a client, make sure you have openly communicated what editing + turn-around + delivery looks like for you so that they understand your workflow. If you ever find yourself behind, be honest about it (but don't make excuses) & do your best to make sure you stay on top of that project until it’s done.
