If I absolutely love a photo or series of photos in one pose I click the 5. (The 5 key will rate the photo 5 stars The X key will mark the photo as rejected.) I put my fingers on the #5 key, the x key and the “next” arrow key. I also look for amazing shots or favorites straight off the bat. I look for closed eyes, weird expressions, blurry or out of focus shots, “practice” shots, or shots where exposure was so severely missed that it really is not worth fixing in post processing. I take a run through each photo and look for a few things. Once all photos are uploaded into LR I begin my cull. Then I open Lightroom and upload the event. This way I know the card is fresh every time I go to use my camera and I don’t run into double copying files onto my computer. Once the images are copied to my hard drive, I eject the CF or SD card and put it back into my camera and format it. Since I sometimes shoot different events on the same day, this system works well for me to keep everything in its place and easy to find! ![]() I organize all of my files by year/month/date _event.

The system I came up with has been working well for me, so I wanted to share my process in hopes to encourage you to start a system of your own if you don’t already have one! I sat down and organized my thoughts about a editing workflow and organization system for my photo shoots. Once I began doing photo shoots for clients, I knew it was imperative that I get a system in place.
