Nicole Olson is a South Dakota photographer and private editor who loves helping burnt out creatives achieve freedom in their business. She has taken her 10+ years in the photography industry and seen that burnout is a common problem for photographers and can often be solved by outsourcing to make more time for themselves, their business, or their social life. 

Nicole recently made this transition in her business to include editing as one of her services and loves to help other photographers, along with having more freedom and time for her own family.

In this episode, we dive into how Nicole made this transition, what it looks like for photographers to outsource their editing, and so much more. Here are some of the main talking points from my conversation with Nicole:

• How Nicole transitioned to being a private editor
• What working with an editor actually looks like
• The types of clients Nicole works with
• Nicole’s editing process and creative control
• Pricing/cost with hiring an editor
• How hiring an editor can make you more money
• What to look for when looking to hire an editor (and where to even start)
• How Nicole sends her photos to clients/the tech side of things
• Consistency and edits Nicole often makes
• Things you can be doing to help Lightroom run better
• Nicole’s personal preferences for editing
• How culling could also be handed off to an editor
• How overdelivering a gallery can actually overwhelm a client

I love what Nicole does within her business and when it comes to editing, and this conversation was so interesting to learn more! If you are curious to learn about hiring an editor, you can connect with Nicole on social media @photosbynicolemarie or on her website here.
