Pixieset
Pixieset has had my back for seven years, and I have loved watching this platform grow. I started using it when I wanted to switch from mailing USBs in 2015 to digitally delivering galleries. I instantly loved the sleek and professional look of the galleries. My clients are always impressed with the look of their galleries, it keeps my sessions organized, and it is easy for me to pull up specific photos for my website and social media on my phone. The storefront is simple and efficient for clients' use and provides multiple options for them to print photos. You're also reading this on a Pixieset website! I was SO excited when I found out they launched the website feature, which has only improved over the years. You can now add photos to your website directly from your galleries!! Does it really get any better than that??
I do not use their scheduling feature; however, they have new features to run your business and plan for your shoots.
One of my favorite features is the Lightroom Plugin that links my Pixieset account to Adobe Lightroom and uploads galleries directly from lightroom to the online gallery. This comes in handy when I need to go in and touch up something in a picture. I can edit it in lightroom, hit publish, and it is automatically added to the gallery.
It has become a company I have grown to love and trust, and I look forward to what they come out with next. Their customer service and response time are incredible. I am so happy with my experience with Pixieset, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a way to deliver images or a clean and easy website.

Honeybook
Honeybook has been a game changer in my business and has helped me keep track of contracts, communication, and templates. My packages/brochures look clean and represent my brand while being easy to access and organize. I can respond to an inquiry with a beautiful and detailed brochure on my phone when I am not home through the app. It has helped cut my admin work time in half with all of the automation options. I cannot recommend Honeybook enough!
Lightroom
Just like most photographers, I do the majority of my editing in Lightroom! I use the mobile version on my phone to edit my personal images and the desktop version for my shoots.
Narrative Select
This program has been a complete game-changer in my editing process. It has sped up my process x10 and I can't even imaging culling through images in lightroom ever again! The technology sorts through your images based on its level of sharpness and alerts you if it believes the photo is out of focus or if there is a better option. I have used other culling programs in the past and Narrative Select is hands down my favorite!
Acuity Scheduling
Acuity was the first program I used when I started scheduling sessions online and I have yet to switch. I love how clients can view my availability and schedule their sessions easily. It syncs to all of my other calendars and keeps me so organized!

I am a sucker for continuous learning, so when I discovered Skillshare, I was in heaven! You can learn basically anything you want to learn.
