Youtube Channel is BACK: new house, goals for 2024, and chit chat
Welcome back to the channel! 🎉 In this video, I’m excited to share some big updates and take you behind the scenes of my life as a wedding photographer. We just bought our first home, and I finally have my very own office space! I'll give you a sneak peek of my new creative hub and share my journey of setting it up.
Dive into the off-season life of a wedding photographer with me as I reflect on the highs and lows, offering photography business advice and tips on how to value yourself as a photographer. This video is packed with wedding photography motivation and inspiration, perfect for anyone looking for some motivational wedding photography content.
I also discuss the importance of setting boundaries with social media and focusing on creating rather than consuming. Plus, I share my wins from the off-season, including outsourcing my photo editing and adding a new videographer to my team, providing plenty of wedding photography encouragement.
If you’re curious about how I became a wedding photographer and how I became a full-time photographer, this video is for you. Join me on my photography journey as I share experiences, insights, and the motivational stories that keep me inspired.
🔗 Watch now and let's continue to grow together!

    I been using pic time for over a year and nobody ever bought anything. The only feedback i heard is that the stuff in the shop is SUPER EXPENSIVE. So its been completely unusable except for delivering the images digitally.

    • @Samiaeducation
      @Samiaeducation 11 місяців тому

      Oh interesting! I have found success with using the automations, have you tried those? And you can definitely change the prices in your store too :)

    • @trancer03
      @trancer03 11 місяців тому

      @@Samiaeducation But how do you know how much the stuff needs to cost to still turn a profit after paying taxes? I live in belgium and i have no clue how much stuff needs to cost in order to make a profit. And i have no clue where i could find such information. and no never used any of the features pic time has besides basic posting of images and creating a gallery for a client and delivering them their images like that.

  • @DavidMacVicar
    @DavidMacVicar 11 місяців тому

    Thanks for the video. It's weird that you have to 'delete' an existing automation on the project, to add another. For example in yours, an automation was added likely through the form and you sent a reply, but on the project if you want to initiate another automation, you have to delete that first one? Is that right?

    When you first started off doing weddings, were you this organized? If not, did you have any disaster moments because of it, or did it all turn out okay in the end? I'm super nervous about the five weddings I have booked this year from June through October. Thanks for the video and the templates!

    Really great breakdown, very useful information and examples you showed. I've done weddings in the past as the main or second shooter and I use similar focal lengths. With that being said, I found that it wasn't for me. Great experience no doubt though. I have the utmost respect for wedding photographers.

So I came to YT to find help, and in less than 3 minutes you just help me. 3:22 that was the OOOOOHHHH moment. THANK YOU! THAN YOU!! THANK YOU!!!
