Do this FIRST to start making money as a photographer.
"Branding" doesn't just mean a logo and color palette in your business. Branding has a way deeper impact and meaning than that. And it takes on a whole new meaning when you do it the right way, and it can cost you countless photography bookings, weddings, and vendor referrals when your branding lacks one thing: consistency.

Should you list your prices on your website as a photographer?
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 місяці тому
[Originally posted on the Passion With Purpose Podcast] We're covering a massive question today! Should you list your photography prices on your website? There are a lot of opinions on this discussion! I'm specifically speaking to photographers and would like to have an open dialogue about this. There are valid arguments on both sides, listing prices vs not listing prices... But let's get on wi...
How to use WORDS to book more photography clients.
Переглядів 1,9 тис.2 місяці тому
This video is all about the WORDS you use, or do not use, to sell to your photography clients. Think: your photography website's copywriting, your consult calls with potential wedding couples, or the emails that you send to inquiries when they hit your inbox. Booking photography clients always comes back to the WORDS we use to sell to them, so make sure you are using the right ones! ✨DOWNLOAD M...

    Thank you Nathan! Always great to hear your talks. I'm a long time podcast listener of yours. I am currently watching this as I'm in the exact upfront investment phase you talked through. I'm 3 years into running my photo/video business and the way that I got that upfront experience was through doing free work- I'm a firm believer in doing free work to build an aligned portfolio. That free work still serves me on my website today so I am forever grateful for that upfront investment. Now I'm shifting my focus to the education piece and marketing/messaging and getting a consistent content cadence. Thank you again!

    Awesome video! As a branding photographer, I totally get this - I hear from so many business owners who want to grow but seem to be waiting for a ‘magic fix’ that doesn’t require any investment. It’s like they’re hoping for results without putting in anything first. Investing in yourself and your business really is the key to making things happen. Thanks for sharing this, it’s such an important message!

I am at a point where I have my studio completely set up and ready to go, but it is the business side, the ability to communicate and connect with my customers or clients that I’m having issues with. And connecting with you, I feel that I have a better chance at being successful in connecting and bonding with future clients once again thank you

    Oh my gosh. I completely agree. I love how you mentioned your branding also applies to how you show up for sessions. The communication I had with my wedding photographer before my first session with her was very efficient, professional, knowledgeable, and positive. Come the day of the shoot and she showed up in teeny tiny biker shorts, no makeup, and a messy bun. My trust was IMMEDIATELY shaken in not just her professionalism, but ability. Luckily my photos turned out just fine. My "bad breath" is inconsistent editing in my portfolio, but I'm working on it! My goal is to have it nailed down by January. Also, love that your videos are always around 12 minutes long. Not too long and full of great information. Very efficient.

    8:08 funny enough, I got boat load of crap and I mean a CRAP TON of push back from fellow contemporaries aka, wedding photographers for me simply asking for an opinion on rebranding to my current brand name. I rebranded two years ago, asked for opinions three years ago. The way I saw it, wedding photographers are not my target audience, so I went ahead regardless no brakes, off rails. As in, go for a more personal brand in which I didn't have to sell my myself each time I got an inquire or scheduled a Zoom call with a client. There are a number of reasons why I chose my brand name, but one reason was because nine out ten wedding photographer websites lack any sort of personality.

    Listening to your podcast on this, I took your advice on..." you should be present in helping the decision when it has 3 zeros in the price, a lot of weight for a website to hold". So I made my website have a coverage baseline for hours on my shortest wedding package and a starting price! Published and tested to see what happens next when people enquiry. Biting my nails presently lol 😅😬. Such a hard decision as a visual person and how I purchased for my own wedding photography in the day but I am not selling shampoo at Target! Super informative video.

    Love this! I'm planning to redo my website this fall/winter and it's one of the things I've been thinking about.
