Hey photographers!! I’m sharing with you some answers to my most frequently asked questions.
– What’s the best way to grow my portfolio?
Shoot, shoot, and keep on shooting! Here are a few ways I grew my portfolio when I first started:
- Doing free shoots for family and friends
- Posting a model call and setting up a shoot
- Bring your camera everywhere you go!
- Shadow another photographer
– What should I use to edit?
Lightroom Classic is what I use! It’s only available on Desktop, and it’s around $150 for the year. You can also use Lightroom CC on your phone for free.
– How do you keep your clients organized?
I use a client management system called Honeybook! I love it because I can send contracts & invoices, get paid, schedule sessions, and automate my whole process so easily.

– What platform do I use for my website?
I use Showit! I used some other website platforms before that did the job, but Showit is 100% WORTH the money! I love using Showit to design my website and you are even able to get website templates and plug them into Showit! Editing and designing your website has never been easier! I should also mention that Showit is great for SEO and getting found on Google!

– Should I shoot in RAW?
Yes!! RAW files are much higher quality, so you’ll get a more precise edit in Lightroom. If you do choose to shoot in raw, you’ll need the capability to handle larger file sizes (so a fast memory card and a larger hard drive).
