One question I get asked all the time is “Do you allow families into your personal brand photoshoots?”
So I thought I would record a podcast episode to answer this question.
If you are from the family portrait market you might be trying to move out of it and wanting to get away from kids, teens and partners
But perhaps there is a perfect way to take advantage of your current audience and transition slowly into personal branding.
I decided to unpack a few things to think about when it comes to incorporating families into your personal brand shoots.

Sorry guys… I am going to say this from this onset...
This one is for the lady photogs today.
Don’t mean to exclude the boys ever (but I am today)
I just really wanted to speak to my girls out there today.
Cause let’s face it, lady photog business owners are often juggling lots of plates.
Now I am not discounting men and their contribution in any way. In fact my dad was a photographer who more than pulled his weight in the home.
However I have observed that many of my best friends & clients (who are all business owners from all different walks of life) do have to balance just a few more tasks when kids and household duties are concerned.
So I wanted to record an episode to speak to the lady photogs who do business with other ladies in business..
Cause I really think that what we are all looking for is ease and simplicity.
So if you are feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, tired, like you are not necessarily doing everything (or anything) as well as you’d like to be doing.

Once upon a time, I felt so overwhelmed in my business that I hired a business coach, cause I couldn’t see which way was up.
They walked me through an exercise to work out what my perfect day would look like.
I know this may seem like a silly exercise to many, but I was working so hard for other people's outcomes I lost sight of what I wanted for me on a day to day basis.
This was 7 years ago.
And as I was recording todays episode of the podcast, I realised that “this day” - a Monday I experienced recently - was it!
Now this “Monday” was not by any means one of the most remarkable days in terms of business, revenue or marketing.
But it is the kind of day I have been building my business towards for years.
And this is also what I like to help others to do, to build their business to serve them THEIR perfect day
(in fact I have virtually a whole module inside of my course devoted to this outcome)
So if you are feeling in need of inspiration about how the simplicity of one single day can bring another so much joy
Then this episode is for you my friend. - Показать больше
