Marissa is completely pioneering a service that meets an educational need in the wedding photography market. Outsourcing is an incredible way for photographers to balance running their business with being fully present in their lives, so the need for private editors is at an all time high. The training Marissa provided based on her experience working with some of the top photographers in the industry has proven to be priceless. I entered this new season in my business not only feeling fully equipped to launch an editing service that specialized in emulating film in digital images, but I truly feel like I have an ally in my corner cheering me on every step of the way.

Ali Williamson Mentorship Testimonial

Once I realized I was one of those crazy people who actually loves the editing process, I knew I had to talk with Marissa. I needed to learn the spectrum…everything from what life as an editor looked like to the ins and outs of using Smart Previews and what to charge clients. Marissa shared what seemed like EVERYTHING there is to know about editing for photographers. I now have a much clearer picture of what it looks like to be a full time editor, and I’ve been developing a direction for that side of business. She was encouraging but honest about what this business is like, reminding me that it really is a full time job not to be taken lightly. Adding editing as a service to be offered to photographers gets me excited! I’ll get a few weekends back, but also get to help my clients say yes to more of what they want to be doing. Win-Win, in my opinion!
