Before we dive into today’s topic, let’s hit pause for our series disclaimer: This isn’t a rant, and I’m not here to roast clients. These posts are a chance to giggle over the quirks of my job while giving you a peek at what really happens behind the lens. So grab your coffee (or as always, your beverage of choice) take a seat, and remember: We’re all here for the love of stunning photos and occasional good-natured chuckles.
Good Things Come to Those Who Don’t Email Daily
Now, let’s talk about waiting. Specifically, waiting for your photos to be edited. I get it—the suspense can be agonizing. You had your session, the light was golden, everyone looked amazing, and you cannot wait to see the magic. But here’s the thing: Photography doesn’t end when the last shutter clicks. Editing is where we transform those photos into art—and that takes time.
Rushing your photographer is like standing over a chef while they’re plating a Michelin-star meal, tapping your watch, and saying, “Is it done yet?” Spoiler alert: It’s not. Also, we totally notice if you start sneakily sliding “just checking in!” messages into our inbox. (No hate. Just… patience.)
Editing isn’t just slapping on a pretty filter (and please, don’t use the F-word with a photographer unless you’re talking about F-stop). It’s a process of tweaking color, adjusting light, fixing tiny imperfections, and making sure every shot is beautiful. We promise it’s worth the wait, even if it feels like forever.
So take a deep breath. Trust the timeline we gave you, and know that good things really do take time. Your dream photos are marinating, and when they’re ready, they’ll be so deliciously perfect you’ll forget you were ever tempted to nudge us for an update. Deal? 😊
