Links to Help you Stay Sane during the Busy Season
In every industry, there is a busy season. With the cooler weather returning to most of the country, the leaves starting to change, and the light taking on that golden glow… autumn is the peak season for photography. So many amazing weddings and family sessions are captured in the autumn! There are such stunning details in the season itself.
Busy Season is Here!
The Fotoskribe Customer Success team sees it all this time of year. All over the nation, photographers are overwhelmed during this busy season. This is the most exciting time of year, with sessions that you’ve waited for all year long. But it is the end of the year. And everyone is just starting to get a little bit tired.
The truth is, unless you are a wedding photographer, you don’t fully understand the feeling of having to be 100% on for a 12–14 hour day on your feet. Or running on nothing but caffeine, energy bars, and whatever they decided to pass off as a ‘vendor meal.’ But to those of us who have chosen this as our trade, our love, and our passion…
This is the best time of the year.
These are the days when the light is just right as it peeks through the tips of the golden birches in Aspen. The days when the mountains have snow-kissed caps, but the days are still warm. These days when magic hour weaves golden halos behind our couples as they embrace and the deep purple twilight stretches out her shadowy fingers to create richness in portraits. It’s autumn. And we love it.
But we also know how busy this season really can be, so we wanted to give you a single post for reference on how to handle the busy season. Here are a collection of posts to help you stay inspired, stay organized and avoid burnout both from our site and from our friends at ShootDotEdit.
