Have you ever had such a difficult time making a decision that you made no decision at all? *Raises hand*. That’s called analysis paralysis, my friend. When it comes to our businesses, this can be a terrible condition to leave undealt with being as we are the sole decision-makers for our biz. No one knows […]

How to tell if you’re ready to outsource certain parts of your photography business can be tough. I mean obviously you love your job photographing clients, so you don’t want to give that up, but how about the rest of your work? Do you love it? Do you have time from it? Are there certain […]

how-to-look-like-a-professional-photographer-when-youre-just-starting-out.jpg

Feeling like a professional photographer when you’re just starting out is an absolute STRUGGLE. There are SO many factors causing you to feel inferior to other photographers around you: from not having a workflow, to not having contracts or a “system” for booking people – and not having the “brand” it seems like the other […]

Finding my editing style was something I struggled with for YEARS. (Like, I only recently feel I’ve nailed it down.) And that’s okay, it’s completely normal.

A few months ago, I was super uninspired. I was frustrated because I was working every day, but I wasn’t working in an inspiring workspace. Everywhere I looked there was clutter, (and my husband’s really ugly black gaming computer and black plastic shelving, let’s be honest.) ? I’d seen examples of a vision board and/or […]

One of the most requested blog posts from photographers over in my free FB group has been on all things photography workflows! Client communication, systems, editing workflows, my booking process, you name it- it’s been requested. But because every single workflow in my business is WAY too much for one blog post, I figured I’d […]

I remember when I was pretty new to my photography business, I would get SO nervous before my shoots. “Was I going to say something dumb!? Would I really deliver images they’d love? Would I actually take photos I was proud of this time? Would they all be in focus and useable!?” All of these thoughts […]
