This company (sister company to The Concierges) has made outsourcing my editing a dream come true. They have flat rate pricing for weddings and sessions (rather than per image pricing) and even better, they color correct 100% custom to my style. I work with one editor for everything from color correction to album design… and she’s quick, efficient, and has learned my color correcting style to a T.  I love what they’ve done for my work turnaround and my free time at home.  Because I am confident in their work, and comfortable with my editor, I feel free to take on many more projects than I would otherwise. Lifesaver!

There aren’t really words for The Concierges, except that I love them so much.  This company is sort of genius, outsourcing studio management for photographers on a commission basis.  My studio manager, Jenny, helps me keep up with client communication, calendar management, contracts & invoicing, and pretty much everything else that doesn’t have to do with shooting. If you need help with these things (like most photographers do)… anything from marketing strategies to social media updates: you name it, they do it.  You will fall in love with your studio manager, as I have with Jenny.  To have another set of hands working on all the things I don’t have time (and sometimes just really don’t like) to do, without being tied to a set hourly/payment rate, has made my business flourish and given me back so much time with my family.  We also all share ideas and tools in our Concierges Family Room forum, and it’s invaluable to share with photographers from all over the US about business!  For me, they are a dream come true.

Just thought I’d share, as these two sister companies are opening up to new clients and I think they are the best two things I’ve found yet!

**p.s. This rave review is not a paid endorsement, nor do I get any kickbacks for tooting their horn… I just wanted to share with you something that works wonders for me. Just in case y’all were wondering =)…
