In this episode, we're talking about the marketing "real real" and what actually is and is NOT marketing.

This episode is Part 2 of a 2 part series that breaks down what I would honestly say to my former self, a best friend, or anyone I really cared about when it comes to the importance of Marketing for your photography business. (Be sure to go back and listen to last week's episode if you haven't already!) Otherwise, let's get started. ️⭐️Join the Waitlist f ..read more

In this episode I’m diving into how and WHY to share more of yourself, who you are, and your personal brand on social media (primarily Instagram).

I believe this is KEY to running a successful business, so in this episode I’m breaking down how to look at these other industries and filter what you learn in a way that is constructive, applicable, and ..read more

In this episode, special guest and luxury wedding photographer Catherine Guidry is joining me to talk about vendor networking and how it has completely transformed her business!
