It’s a common frustration within the wedding photography industry to hear complaints from photographers about potential clients disappearing after showing initial interest in their services. The phenomenon of “ghosting” can leave photographers feeling disheartened and uncertain about how to proceed. However, rather than dwelling on the disappointment, I firmly believe in taking a proactive approach to address this challenge head-on.
By implementing strategies to engage potential clients more effectively, provide added value, and streamline the booking process, we can not only reduce the likelihood of being ghosted but also enhance the overall client experience. In this episode, I provide you with actionable steps to overcome this obstacle and build stronger connections with potential clients.

In this episode, Cat talks to us about how she was able to continuously niche down in her business and how other photographers can do the same. We talk about the benefits of niching, including the beauty of working with clients that align closely with your values and being about to charge premium prices.
