Hey there! In today's episode, I'm diving into the soulful artistry of photography, urging us to reconnect with the roots of our craft. I reminisce about the days of film cameras when photographers meticulously planned and crafted a few exquisite portraits meant for walls, not just social media. Let's take a journey back to when portraits began, where artists invested time, studied subjects, and created timeless pieces. We're the modern successors of this legacy. Imagine if only one photo could define you for eternity. It's a powerful concept, one that demands we truly know our clients. I highlight the fading tradition of displaying family portraits and challenge us to revive it. Research shows the impact on children's self-confidence when they see their faces on the wall. Our business is not just about money; it's about preserving a tradition. As photographers, we shape the narrative. So, join me in reflecting on our role, our art, and the lasting impact we can create. Let's carry the torch for generations to come!

In this episode, I dig into the unique challenges of marketing in the equine and pet photography industry compared to more mainstream areas like weddings and newborns. Unlike weddings and newborns, equine/pet photography lacks a natural demand, necessitating active client education. I stress the importance of asking clients, "Why haven't you done this?" to spark interest and create a market for equine and pet photography. Personal conversations emerge as my most effective marketing tool, emphasizing the need to seek clients actively. The episode concludes with a reminder to optimize existing clients and revenue before expanding marketing efforts. I encourage fellow photographers to diversify strategies, systematize efforts, and not overlook the value of persistent, consistent presence in marketing.

In this episode, we are going to focus on why tuning up your business is more valuable than tearing it down. For years, I followed advice without understanding the 'why' behind it, constantly rebuilding my business according to generic templates. Eventually, I began examining these tactics from a psychological perspective, seeking to understand why certain strategies worked for some but not others. I explored outside the photography realm for business inspiration, recognizing a lack of comprehensive business education within the photography industry. Realizing I didn't need a complete overhaul, I learned the power of subtle tweaks and optimizations. I discovered that in this phase of business growth, small golden nuggets of insight, like adjusting your tone or setting sales limits, have a substantial impact. For those making around $2,000 to $3,000 per client, feeling the need for more growth, the frustration lies in discovering those crucial, tiny tweaks that make all the difference. It's these small adjustments that significantly propel businesses forward. It's time to transform your business with strategic, small but mighty adjustments. Connect with Karinda!
