In today’s video, I’m going to be showing you how I cull my senior sessions (and any portrait session, really) in 10 minutes or LESS! I don’t know about you, but culling used to be the bane of my existence – I used to dread it. It took me JUST as much time to cull […]

We’re going to actually be comparing the top 2 platforms I get asked about all the time: CloudSpot & Pixieset. Full transparency — I use CloudSpot (and love it!) but I’ve never looked into Pixieset so it’ll be […]
