I am a family photographer. I am slow at editing and do not rush. Often, I deliver a gallery and feel good about it, and then I see the photos on social media and I literally get sick to my stomach picking them apart. My last gallery I delivered, my client LOVED them and posted almost every photo on social media. She tagged me in all of them and spoke of how much she loved them. HOWEVER, I immediately saw so many flaws that I didn’t see while editing, and then I’m sick to my stomach, tearing them apart. Will I ever get past this? What started as a creative outlet for me is now giving me anxiety. I don’t want to give up, but I hate this feeling! 😫 Does this ever get better? Is this a very common thing?

    Client’s happy, you should be happy. You have a workflow that works for you.

    You have no idea the amount of work they might have put in on that social media photo or the set up / prep work needed to get that shot. And that’s what maybe one photo?

    I’m sure you gave your client more than one photo.
