Beth Teutschmann of Star Board Editing is a geologist turned photo editor! 8 years ago, a friend of Beth's needed help to grow her photography business so she taught Beth how to edit and freed up a bunch of her time to focus on the business side of things. This photographer friend knew the importance of freeing up some time and the best way to improve her photography business was by outsourcing.
Beth got real good at editing and things grew from there as she took on more and more photographers. She eventually quit her day job and does this full-time now.
Her business, Starboard Editing takes some of your day-to-day tasks and operations off your hands. Things like photo culling and editing, album design, SEO coding, blogging and FaceBooking. They work closely with each of their photographers to do their best to match your particular style of editing, album design, blogging and social media posting.
They work with both portrait and wedding photographers and they have clients all over the world.
Here’s some more of what we cover in the interview:

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes reviews and it's always a buzz to receive these… for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes is the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners means more interviews and ultimately a better show.
If you have left a review in the past, thank you!

Thank you!

Take the time you would spend worrying about those details and put it in to your customer experience. Put it in to your showing your customers or your clients that you value them. That will by far give you a bigger return on your time investment than those tiny little editing details. – Beth Teutschmann
