PhotographyClient Communication & Experience3MediumPhotographer$ implied
A photographer offering free sessions feels pressured and harassed by clients demanding faster turnaround on edited photos despite clear communication about her limited editing time as a stay-at-home mom.
Existing photo editing tools like Lightroom don't help manage client expectations or automate communication about turnaround times, especially when the photographer has limited availability; managing client pressure and setting boundaries is a manual, stressful process.
