When you are a new photographer there are so many things to learn other then just learning your camera settings. You want to become that photographer that every client dreams of having to photograph their memories for a lifetime. With that goal, comes properly streamlining your business to make it as professional and effortless as possible. From my years as a professional photographer, I learned what tools work best, so I decided to create a list of my top favourite resources to help you with your photography business.

Lightroom + Photoshop
Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are by far the best for editing your images.
Photo Mechanic
Photo Mechanic is a dream for culling images quickly. Before I discovered this software, the first step in my post production was culling and let me tell you, it took time. Time is precious, so I highly recommend this software for your photography business. Try it free for 30 days.

Unscripted Posing App
Having a hard time coming up with new posing and prompt ideas at a photoshoot?
Check out the Unscripted Posing App! I love this app when I was starting out or I am drawing a blank. There are so many great poses and prompts and they are all categorized for the the type of photoshoot. You can easily create your clients portal and save poses before their session then quickly reference it during a session. One of my favourite things about this apps is it is built on community. Photographers submit their photos and prompts to the app and if the photo meets criteria, you will have it published like the DOG photo I have in the video below. The app also has camera settings guide, sun tracker for your location, education and resources, contract and questionnaire templates, you can send invoices, emails and automations and timelines + checklist.
