Description

What if you could take 300 hours of editing, culling, and admin off your plate — and fall back in love with your photography business in the process?

In this episode, I chat with OME student Anika about how she reclaimed her time, creativity, and peace of mind — after nearly giving up on weddings for good.

We dive into:

  • How she went from “burnt to a crisp” to booked and balanced
  • The exact tasks she outsourced (and what she still does herself)
  • Why hiring a specialized editor changed everything
  • What happened when she had to fire her VA mid-season
  • How outsourcing let her enjoy fall again, spend time with family, and actually rest

This is the final student story in the series — and it’s the perfect dose of motivation for any photographer who feels overworked right now.

🎧 Listen now and imagine what 300 hours back could look like for you.
