I've traveled the world, growing and scaling a successful photography business while teaching other photographers how to increase their income and gain a consistent flow of high-quality clients. In my decade of experience, I've noticed there are 5 common mistakes photographers make:

But you're still hesitant to increase your prices, unsure how to attract high-quality clients consistently, and overwhelmed with the thought of trying to grow your business — close all your tabs and let out that sigh of relief because you're in the right place.
Watched countless photography training videos
Had a few years of experience running a photography business
Downloaded all the free photography business resources
Instead of speaking directly to their dream clients, they try to appeal to all clients. (This is a recipe for burnout!)
They get too caught up in what other photographers are doing rather than focus on what makes them so unique.
When a photographer isn't confident in their services, clients aren't confident either. But gain confidence and the clients will come.
They come to me with the idea that they can't turn down clients because they'll lose business. In reality, niching and boundaries are where growth happens.
Even though they're taking all the jobs, they're still not earning enough to achieve the time and financial freedom they crave. Instead, they are overworked, underpaid, and exhausted.
If you relate to one or more of the above, it's time to stop this cycle and get focused on achieving the financial and time freedom you deserve.

We'll peel back all the layers of your brand to reveal your brand's mission, identify your ideal clientele, and craft a strong brand message.
The value your services hold begins with your belief in them. So in this module, we'll work on changing any limiting beliefs you may have. We'll also fine-tune your process to ensure you feel confident in what you offer and who you serve.

We'll curate your portfolio and marketing materials that authentically represent your brand and naturally sell to your ideal clients. In this module, we'll also focus on strategies that can help you book publications, styled shoots, and accomplish other large-scale goals you have.
