Systems + Software
Aftershoot – Culling and Editing DREAM Software for Photographers. This allows me to cull + edit a wedding in under 72 hours, with delivery (after blogging/social/sneaks) in less than a week!
Adobe – Lightroom + Photoshop (mobile included) allow me to quickly remove objects I missed or couldn’t move during sessions.
Cloudspot – My dreamy gallery + sales system.
Dubsado – The BEST CRM I could find. I tried Honeybook + a dozen others, but when Dubsado popped up, I couldn’t resist. They’re a dream to work with and I just love them to pieces.
Tailwind – Best thing for boosting Pinterest performance. Quickly find other’s relevant pins and have the software schedule for you.
SmarterQueue – Set it and forget it with your evergreen posts and content. This keeps my social media running even when I’m not available. Hello month long road trips!
Canva – Serious social media marketing here. Plus the paid version gives you access to branding, templates and more so you can set everything up and keep your marketing on brand, or hand it off to someone else to do!

Education + Resources
Katelyn James Education
By far my favorite courses – Katelyn has a little something for everyone.
Book More Weddings System
This was the first major course I took and it’s greatly evolved since I started it. I’m consistently going back and reviewing information to improve my processes.
The Bridal Show Blueprint
The most recent course I did and it fully paid for itself in one season of wedding shows! I LOVE her teaching style and it’s been a game changer.
Creative Live Education
I love this service and it’s allowed me to gain a lot of knowledge without having to drop big $$$ on education.
