Hey dude!

Today's newsletter is about:

  1. How I edit photos 10x FASTER
  2. DO THIS NOW to save your gear!
  3. Make MORE money in these photography niches
  4. Bye bye Photo Architect...Content Gold is BAAACK!

First off, I owe you an apology.

I haven’t been showing up here in the way you signed up for, and I truly appreciate your patience with me.

Life has been life’ing heavy lately, and it’s forced me to reflect on what I can consistently show up for....even when things get tough.

So I'm back and I'm here to stay! But I didn't want to come all up in your inbox empty-handed.

I come bearing gifts!

I want to leave you with some things that have seriously boosted my productivity and could do the same for you (skip to the end if you're not a photographer):

4 Tips That 10x’d My Workflow in My Photography Biz

1. I Edit FAST with Evoto.ai​

Listen....I hate editing photos.

Like I really, REALLY hate editing.

So when I tell you that I literally CRIED when I found this editing software! It's no exaggeration fam.

This is not a sponsored post, I just need you to know this exists, because if you also hate editing photos, this will save you HOURSSSS!

And I can't share this info on my social, so this is a secret...shhh!

2. Lightroom Running Slow?

  • Turn off the little cloud icon in the top right (set it to “until tomorrow”).
  • Always upload your photos onto Lightroom from an SSD instead of an HDD or straight from your memory card.

​Here's a quick YouTube video to know the difference between the 2 types of hard drives​

3. Take The Batteries Out of Your Equipment!

I might've ruined my flash transmitter because the AA batteries corroded inside.

I was going to sell it because I hadn’t used in years. I go to check on everything to make sure it works and it doesn’t turn on.

I open it and the batteries were corroded and a little metal piece fell out.

Take your batteries out of your equipment until it's time to use it.

(Seriously, go check your equipment right now! I’ll wait. 😂)

4. High-Profit Photography Niches $$$$$

If you’re looking to make more money as a portrait photographer, School Photography and Corporate Group Headshots are two of the most lucrative areas.

I did a corporate headshot gig for 6 people in 30 minutes and I made $1200 from it + finished editing that same day!

If you want to get into it here are some resources:

  • ​PhotoDay.com for School Photography (can be used for corporate headshots too)
  • Study High Volume Photography on YouTube for Corporate Headshots

Updates

If you're a photographer, you probably signed up for The Photo Architect. Thank you for joining! ❤️

But just a heads up, starting today we’re going back to the Content Gold Newsletter.

I made this decision because I want to share MORE than just photography content. I'm also an artist, graphic designer, children's book illustrator, and a Christian.

I have so much more I want to share with you and talk to you about than just photography.

You're more than just a photographer too, right? Lol

So here's what Content Gold will be all about:

  • God
  • Business
  • Creativity
  • Content Creation
  • Personal Development
  • And Life Lessons That Make Me Feel Like I Struck Gold

I hope you stick around for it! If not, no hard feelings.

That's all for now.

Talk soon!
