Creating Reels can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode of The Six Figure Photography Podcast, we’re joined by Angela Shae, founder of Social Templates, who shares her full Reels workflow—from organizing your camera roll to posting engaging content without burnout.

Angela dives into her story of transitioning from a successful wedding photographer to building a thriving community for creatives who need easy, done-for-you social media resources. We talk about how to organize your camera roll for faster content creation, practical ways to capture BTS footage (including the secret weapon you need to know about), and her best tools for efficient Reels creation.

Plus, we break down why trending audio isn’t everything, the power of raw, imperfect content, and how using the right hooks, captions, and calls-to-action can make or break your Reels performance.

Whether you’re just starting with Reels or looking to simplify and scale your content creation, this episode is packed with tangible strategies and time-saving hacks to put your Reels on autopilot.
