A mom, wife, and full time family photographer. I started my business over 10 years ago with a borrowed camera and no experience. I was undercharging, obsessing over social media marketing, and constantly comparing myself to other photographers. It was exhausting and I was tempted to give up time and time again.I finally realized that if I wanted to make real money from photography, I needed to treat my business like a business and not a hobby.I priced myself for profit, created marketing strategies on and off social media, and started getting the attention and bookings from people in my community. I realized I was onto something.If you're ready to finally learn how to attract your ideal clients, master your marketing, and position yourself as a sought out photographer, this is the podcast for you!Charge those camera batteries and grab something to write with, it's time to dive in.
