Friend, for the past couple of years, I have been doing website reviews and content feedback (on my Patreon), and I keep seeing the same mistakes made over and over again.
I want to be clear and say that done is better than perfect, so if you’re doing your best to publish a blog post, you go! But hopefully, this list episode can give you some insight into how to make your blog posts better for SEO and client experience.
If you are a busy photographer and understand the value of blogging but don’t have the time to do so, get in touch with Nicole from Lattes For Lunch. She specializes in blogging and SEO for wedding pros.

It’s not a secret that the first quarter of 2024 has been a bit slower than previous years, and if you don’t have data from your own business to compare, this could be very scary.
However, this is the name of the game; some years will be better than others, and the goal is to keep momentum, even when it's harder to do so.
So in today’s episode, I’m sharing with you 5 things I’m doing to keep my business on everyone’s radar! Constant eyes on my brand means opportunities that I can take to book new clients.
I hope you take these strategies and use them in your own business!

Friends, today we have a question from Rachel Mann Photography (I host Q&A’s on my Instagram Channel) and she asked: “Best way to attract your ideal client as a family?”
Well, over a decade ago, I was solely a family photographer when I had just started my photography business. At that time, we didn’t have Instagram (CALM DOWN, YOUNG PEOPLE!!!), so I had to rely on networking to grow my business.
In this episode, I'll share with you five things I did to attract clients and get my brand off the ground!

Friend, if you've been a photographer for over 15 years, you've likely heard the name Jon Canlas at least once. If you shoot film, you've definitely heard his name at least twice ;)
I've been a fan of his work since the early stages of my career, and I'm thrilled I had the opportunity to have this chat at this stage of my business!
A conversation that was supposed to be about a business without a website took many turns into other important topics. Although I'm a sucker for structure, I let Jon guide me into a chat that felt heartfelt and vulnerable, filling me with inspiration. I hope this conversation does the same for you!
If you are new to Jon, he’s been a photographer since 1999. He has created a profession around shooting film. Known for his family work both professionally and personally, he also is known for his workshops FILM IS NOT DEAD and the current FILM SCHOOL ROAD TRIP. He resides in Payson, UT with his 6 kids.

Today’s episode is a bit different, as I've invited a previous client of mine to share her experience booking a photographer for her engagement session.
I photographed Dilihana and her fiance, David, in December, a few months after her initial inquiry. The reason I wanted to hear her point of view was that after presenting my pricing, she politely mentioned that unfortunately, she was going with another photographer based on her budget.
However, a gut feeling and perceived value made her reevaluate her original decision and book my services instead, despite the price difference.
This candid conversation is filled with valuable insights on what future clients are looking for and the little things that make a difference.
