Everywhere you look on the internet, you can find pricing guides, information, and others talking about the revenue their businesses generate.

Photographers are busy people, and we sometimes let things slide that we shouldn’t. Namely, I’m talking about our photography websites.

Here’s your reminder to…

If you’re a photographer, you’re probably an education junkie, just like me. We sign up for courses, we watch tutorials, we follow other creators on Instagram.

Digital photos are great in terms of portability and immediacy. But tangible photos that you can hold in your hand have so much more meaning. Think about the difference between a forgotten USB stick languishing in a drawer somewhere and a photo album filled with photos that you can touch. It’s a whole different vibe, isn’t it? In today’s episode, I…

As creatives, we spend too much time focusing on “should”. We tell ourselves, “This is the way my photos should look, and this is the way my business should run,” etc. But what if we moved past what should be and just focused on what is?

It can be hard to realize that none of us are perfect. We get tired, we make mistakes, or we take on too many projects. But what we need to remember is that done is better than perfect.

In today’s episode, I’m interviewing Melissa Arlena, …

Pricing your business is about the numbers, sure, but it’s also about your emotions.
