I hear this all the time, and I get it. When you’re already stretched thin, the thought of spending more money feels scary. But here’s the truth…

Successful, well-paid, time-abundant photographers make decisions based on where they’re going.
Struggling, overworked photographers make decisions based on where they are right now.

That’s the difference.

The longer you keep doing everything yourself, the longer you’ll stay capped—there are only so many hours in the day, which means only so many clients you can take on. Remember, shooting is what brings in revenue… not culling, editing, or admin.

That’s why outsourcing isn’t actually an expense—it’s what creates the capacity for you to grow your income while working less.

In other words, the real question isn’t “Can I afford to outsource?” but “Can I afford not to?”

And the beauty is, you don’t have to start big. In Module 6, I walk you step by step through hiring a virtual assistant ethically for around $6 CAD/hour (this is 3x minimum wage in their country). Even if you invested just $30 a week to get 5 hours of your life back, you could use that time to market more, book another client, or simply enjoy time with your family—all without losing income.

Those 5 hours compound into more energy, more income, and more freedom.

This program is designed to help you start right where you are—no matter your budget—and grow from there.

This is one of the most common fears I hear, and I felt the exact same way when I first considered outsourcing. Editing is so personal, right? It feels like no one could possibly “get it” the way you do.

Here’s the truth: when you outsource the smart way, your editor isn’t replacing you…they’re amplifying you.

Inside OME, I teach you my 3-Part Editing Framework where:

✨ You do the first 10%—setting the tone, style, and “recipe” for your gallery.
✨ Your AI editing tool and human editor (hybrid approach to maximize efficiency) handle the 80% heavy lifting—all the repetitive work that eats hours of your time.
✨ Then you come back for the final 10%—sprinkling on your unique artistry and final refinements.

Think of it like a Michelin-star chef. The chef designs the recipe, sets the vision, and taste-tests every dish before it leaves the kitchen. But do they chop every onion or stir every pot? Of course not. They rely on their team to execute their vision… so the quality stays high and the experience stays consistent.

It’s the same with your editing. Your couples don’t care who pressed the keys in Lightroom, they care about the final gallery that looks and feels like you. And with the system I give you, you’ll feel confident knowing your edits match your style every single time.

In fact, most of my students are surprised at how much better and more consistent their work looks once they implement this process…because they’re editing from a place of clarity and freedom, not exhaustion at 1am.

Yes… 100%.

If you’ve never outsourced before, you’re actually in the best position possible. Because you get to learn how to do it right from the very beginning… without the years of trial and error that leave so many photographers frustrated and stuck.

Instead of piecing together random advice from Facebook groups or guessing your way through… OME gives you a proven, step-by-step framework.

You’ll be building a sustainable foundation that supports your business growth, your creativity, and your life outside of photography.

And the sooner you learn how to outsource in a way that actually works, the sooner you’ll be free to focus on what you love most… capturing photos, serving your clients, and creating your dream income—without sacrificing your time.

I hear you… when you’re already stretched thin, the thought of adding one more thing to your plate feels impossible. But here’s the beauty of outsourcing: it actually takes less time to train someone than it does to keep doing everything yourself.

Yes, there’s an initial time investment—but not nearly as much as you think. For example, in 2019 I saved 225 hours by outsourcing my editing. And do you know how much time I spent training and giving feedback? About 3 hours total. That’s it.

Think of it like planting seeds… at first, you spend a little energy preparing the soil and placing the seed in the ground. But then, as time passes, the plant grows and gives back far more than what you put in. Training someone is planting the seed of freedom in your business. It may take an hour or two to set up, but then it keeps growing and giving back hundreds of hours in return.

If you choose the path of not learning how to outsource, you’ll stay stuck in the burnout cycle of stress forever. But the sooner you begin outsourcing, the faster you’ll actually get your time back.

And here’s the good news… you don’t need to overhaul your business overnight. All you need is to set aside just 1 hour a week to start going through OME. Even with that small step, you’ll begin to experience powerful shifts—and you’ll already be on your way to becoming a time + income abundant photographer.

PLUS, you get lifetime access. That means if you’re in the thick of wedding season, you can open up the course in January (or whenever you’re ready). One of my students did just that—and within 6 months of implementing just a piece of OME, she cut her computer time in half and doubled her revenue.

That could be you next year.

Great question… and one I hear a lot right now.

Here’s the truth: AI is an incredible tool, but it’s not a replacement for human support. At least not yet.

My own experience—and the experience of so many of my students—is that with AI alone, you still spend a LOT of time quality-checking, fixing details, and making touch-ups. Often more time than if you had worked with a trained editor or VA in the first place.

Why? Because it’s nearly impossible for AI to fully understand your nuance, your artistry, your personal preferences, and the emotion behind your work. Humans can. You can explain it, refine it, and actually build a relationship with someone who “gets it.”

Now don’t get me wrong… I use AI too. In fact, my own workflow uses a hybrid of AI + human support. I’ll let AI take the first pass, then my human editor takes over for consistency and finesse. It’s the best of both worlds—and it saves me the most time.

But here’s the big shift: AI is a tool. Outsourcing is a skillset.

When you know how to outsource well, you can decide if you want to bring AI into the process. You can even train your VA or editor to use AI for you. That’s long-term thinking. Short-term thinking is hoping a tool will “fix everything” and maybe save you 20–30% of your time. Long-term thinking is asking: “How do I get back 80–90% of my time consistently?”

That’s where outsourcing shines. It’s not just about tech—it’s about people, systems, and freedom.

And if you want to go deeper on this, I actually recorded a full episode about it on my podcast, The Shine + Thrive Photography Podcast (episode 140).

Great question… and honestly, I believe you can actually get better results online.

Here’s why:

When you’re burnt out, time is your most valuable asset. Traveling to an in-person event means rearranging your schedule, losing days to travel, and coming home exhausted with a notebook full of ideas you may or may not implement. With OME, you can learn from the comfort of home, on your own schedule… and actually put things into action right away.

Plus, I don’t know of any other training (online or in-person) that offers what OME does: a complete step-by-step outsourcing framework created specifically for photographers.

And you’re not doing this alone. Inside OME you’ll have continued support from me and the community through our private Facebook group and 6 live group coaching calls. As the community grows, you’ll be surrounded by photographers from all over the world who really know how to effectively outsource—connections you probably wouldn’t have access to locally.

One more thing: you’ll be able to re-watch and revisit the content as often as you want. That means you can come back to refresh, refine, and deepen your learning at any stage of your business.

So while in-person events are inspiring, OME is designed to be efficient, sustainable, and supportive long-term. Because the vehicle isn’t the important thing… it’s the transformation you experience inside it.

I get this question all the time… and the truth is, this is actually the best time to invest in learning how to outsource.

Here’s why:

Down is always on the way to up. History proves it—after the 2008 recession, after the dip during Covid… the rebound always comes.

The smartest photographers aren’t waiting for things to get “better.” They’re using this season as their opportunity to set up systems, buy back their time, and prepare for the next wave of demand.

And here’s the thing… OME isn’t about adding expenses, it’s about creating capacity. Many of my students start by hiring affordable, ethical support overseas—VA’s and editors at around $5/hour CAD. With just a small investment, they free up hours every week to:

• Market more effectively (think Pinterest, blogging, even someone commenting in Facebook groups on their behalf)
• Deliver galleries faster than expected, surprising clients and generating more referrals
• Create the space to breathe again… so they can show up as their best selves in their business and their life.

That’s the real competitive advantage. While others freeze in fear, OME students are working smart… doubling their marketing capacity, improving their client experience, and getting booked out.

This isn’t about “waiting for the economy to get better.” It’s about making a U-turn away from fear… and stepping into your role as the capable, strategic business owner you already are.

Nope… not at all.

I designed OME with burnt-out, time-poor photographers in mind. Once you go through the foundational modules, you can actually choose your own adventure and jump straight to the outsourcing training that matters most for you.

It’s a “take what you need” layout that keeps things simple, stress-free, and non-overwhelming. You don’t need to master everything before you start seeing wins.

And the best part? You have lifetime access. That means you can keep coming back, revisit modules, and implement at your own pace—as your business and life evolve.

Here’s a real example: A couple years back Nicole, one of my OME students, had only completed half the course. Even with that, she saved 660 hours in 2023… while only investing $2,700 to get that time back. Wild, right?

So no, you don’t have to finish it all before you get results. You’ll start seeing shifts as soon as you begin.

Not at all… in fact, I’d argue the opposite.

When you outsource strategically, you actually become more of an artist because you’re no longer creating from a place of stress, exhaustion, or burnout. You get to stay in your **zone of genius—shooting, connecting, storytelling—**instead of being buried under every single hat in your business.

Think of it like this: a Michelin-star chef doesn’t chop every onion, wash every dish, or plate every meal. They create the recipe, oversee the process, and add the final touches that make the dish unforgettable. Does anyone think of them as less of a chef? Of course not. They’re revered because they focus on what only they can do.

It’s the same for you. In OME, I’ll show you how to create smart outsourcing workflows customized to your artistry. You’ll keep the tasks you love and hand off the rest—the ones draining your creative energy.

For example, with editing, you can choose to do the first 10%—setting the tone, the style, the vision. Then, your editor handles the 80% of heavy lifting that would normally eat up hours of your week. Finally, you return for the last 10% refinement, adding your unique eye and magic before delivering to clients.

And here’s the thing… your clients don’t care about your process. They care about how their photos look, feel, and tell their story. Whether it took you 30 hours alone or 3 hours with support, what matters is that they receive an incredible final result and unforgettable experience.

Your artistry, your client experience, your vision… those will always stay in your hands. Outsourcing just gives you the freedom to bring more of your magic to every part that matters most.

Yes… absolutely.

Inside OME you’ll have access to 8 live monthly intimate group coaching calls with me (November 2025 - June 2026). This is your chance to show up, ask your specific questions, and get my eyes on your unique situation so we can troubleshoot together in real time.

And it doesn’t stop there… I also pop into our Private Members-Only Facebook Group regularly, offering support, guidance, and encouragement as you move through the program. Plus, you’ll be surrounded by other photographers who are on the same journey—you’ll never feel like you’re doing this alone.

So yes, you’ll have me in your corner… not just teaching, but coaching, supporting, and celebrating with you every step of the way.

Of course! OME is designed as a step-by-step roadmap that takes you from feeling overworked and stuck… to confidently outsourcing the right tasks and creating a freedom-first photography business.

Here’s a quick recap:

✨ Module 1–3: Lay the foundation. You’ll shift the beliefs keeping you stuck, learn how to work less and earn more, and create a plan for what to outsource first.

✨ Module 4–6: Implement with ease. You’ll master outsourcing your culling, editing, and learn how to hire + train a virtual assistant in as little as 2 weeks (ethically and affordably).

✨ Bonus Trainings: From outsourcing album design for passive income to lifetime access to the members-only community + 8 monthly live group coaching calls with me (November 2025 - June 2026)—you’ll always have support as you implement.

The beauty of OME is that it’s non-linear. After the foundations, you can jump straight to whichever module solves your biggest bottleneck first. No overwhelm. No fluff. Just a clear, proven path to save 15–30+ hours a week while keeping your artistry, income, and client experience intact.

I get it… making an investment like this can feel big. That’s why I’ve removed the risk completely.

Outsourcing Made Easy is the most comprehensive, step-by-step implementation program for photographers who are ready to create more time and income through smart outsourcing. And it’s already worked for over 190 students who once felt exactly like you do now.

I’m so confident that if you do the work, you’ll get incredible value—that I back OME with a 365-day risk-free guarantee.

Here’s how it works:

✅ The moment you enroll, you get full access to the entire program.
✅ You’ll have the opportunity to start outsourcing culling, editing, and admin tasks before you ever make a final commitment.
✅ If by the end of 365 days you don’t feel more confident and motivated to consistently outsource in your business—and you can show me you’ve put in the work—simply email [email protected] and we’ll refund your investment.

In other words, you have a full year to implement OME… and zero risk of losing your money if you show up and it doesn’t work for you.

Because I don’t want fear of “what if it doesn’t work” to keep you stuck. This is your year to build a freedom-first business.

Absolutely! While I specialize in weddings, Outsourcing Made Easy was designed with all photography genres in mind. Whether you shoot portraits, families, pets, commercial work, or beyond — the systems and strategies I teach are fully transferable.

I have a diverse mix of photographers inside OME, and the reason it works across genres is because the core of what I teach is about streamlining your business with smart systems, sustainable outsourcing, and building support around your unique workflow — no matter what you shoot.

If you're a photographer who's ready to stop doing it all alone, gain your time back, and grow your business with more ease… you're in the right place.

I hear this a lot… and here’s the truth: outsourcing isn’t just for photographers who are fully booked. In fact, it’s one of the fastest ways to get fully booked.

When you’re doing everything yourself, your calendar is clogged with editing, admin, and tasks that don’t bring in revenue. That leaves little time or energy to market, nurture leads, or create the kind of client experience that gets you referrals.

By outsourcing even a few hours a week, you create capacity—to show up consistently, book more, and serve at a higher level. So even if you’re not “fully booked” yet, outsourcing is exactly what helps you get there.

That’s the beauty of OME… this isn’t an all-or-nothing approach. You get to build a freedom-first business that fits your values and vision.

If editing lights you up but culling drains you? Keep editing and outsource culling. Or should I say, keep only the editing you enjoy, and get support with the rest ;)
If you want to hold onto slideshow creation but hand off blogging? Perfect.

You’re the artist and CEO. OME gives you the step-by-step systems to delegate the parts you don’t love… so you can double down on the parts that keep your spark alive.

Totally valid fear… and it’s the #1 reason photographers stay stuck doing it all themselves.

That’s exactly why I created my Magnetic Hiring Process. Instead of guessing, you’ll know exactly how to:

✨ Write job postings that attract the right candidates
✨ Ask the interview questions that reveal alignment
✨ Create training videos + feedback loops that ensure results

And if it doesn’t work out the first time? You’ll know how to pivot fast, without wasting weeks or months. The photographers who go through OME walk away with the skillset to hire again and again, which means they’re never stuck.

Here’s the thing… outsourcing doesn’t diminish your client experience. It elevates it.

Think of it like a Michelin-star chef: she creates the recipe, her team handles the heavy lifting, and she quality-checks everything before it leaves the kitchen. Clients don’t care who chopped the onions—they care that the dish is exquisite.

It’s the same with your photography. With OME, you’ll design your custom outsourcing workflows, keep the parts that matter most to you, and delegate the rest.

The result? Faster gallery delivery. Quicker communication. A calmer, more present photographer on the wedding/session day. That’s not losing control—that’s creating and running a business at a higher level.

You don’t have to wait months. Many OME students start seeing hours back within weeks.

- One student found her editor + setup her smart outsourcing workflow in a matter of 3 weeks and just like that, her schedule opened up!
- One student saved 20 hours per wedding after just 2 months.
- Another reclaimed 660 hours in a single season.
- Even the ones who start small—outsourcing just 5 hours a week—say they feel lighter, clearer, and more present right away.

Your timeline depends on your pace, but the roadmap is designed for quick wins. And because you’ll have lifetime access, you can keep building on those results for years to come.

I get it… if you’ve signed up for courses before and never finished them, it can feel frustrating. But here’s what I want you to consider: maybe it’s not you… maybe it’s your capacity.

Most courses add more to your plate—more lessons, more homework, more things to squeeze into your already maxed-out schedule. No wonder they sit unfinished.

OME is different because it’s designed to give you back time and energy first. The modules are bite-sized, each one ending with a clear action step so you can implement as you learn… even if you only have 30 minutes a week.

And here’s the magic: once you start outsourcing and reclaiming your hours, you’ll not only move through OME with ease—you’ll finally have the bandwidth to go back and finish those other courses, apply what you learned, and actually see the ROI you hoped for when you bought them.

Plus, you’re not doing this alone. With live coaching calls and a supportive community, you’ll always know your next step. This isn’t about “more learning”… it’s about freeing your time so you can do what matters most and see results.

Absolutely. Outsourcing isn’t location-dependent—it’s a universal skillset you’ll use no matter where you live.

The exact systems I teach for hiring, training, and giving feedback apply globally. In fact, many of my students are based outside of North America (including Australia, Ireland, Belgium) and have built incredible support teams in their own regions and overseas.

Whether you want to outsource locally, abroad, or a hybrid of both… you’ll learn how to do it in a way that’s ethical, aligned, and effective.
