Class Description

You’ve got the talent, the passion, and the eye—but turning that into a profitable business can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re building it without much support.

This class is for the photographer who’s ready to go from “just getting by” to confidently booking dream clients, posing with intention, and actually making money doing what you love.

During this week learn to elevate your work and boost your bottom line by adding in new offerings like boudoir. We’ll dig into natural, flattering posing techniques for wedding couples and individuals that create images your clients can’t stop talking about.

You’ll learn how to market yourself without feeling salesy, build a magnetic brand that clients trust, and finally set pricing that reflects the value you deliver.

This class is for you if:

• You feel overwhelmed and under supported while trying to grow
• You want to feel more confident in directing clients during sessions
• You want to add in an additional revenue stream like boudoir

This isn’t just a class—it’s your game plan for balancing it all, finally getting paid well to do the work you love, attracting clients who value your art, and showing up confidently—even if you’re building it all on your own.
