Why I think you’ll want to tune in every week!
In the photography business as a wedding and children’s portrait specialist, for four decades, I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge, connections, and inspiration that I’m eager to share with you. Friends encouraged me to have a show, saying that I have a unique voice as a woman in this industry for so many years. So I said yes to photographers like you who want to achieve success, profitability, and inspiration.
1-Amazing Guests. I have an incredible network of wonderful photographers and teachers that I have the privilege of knowing personally or discovering through my continuing involvement in our industry. And as a teacher at heart, I am always excited to share my own thoughts and new information I discover.
2-Selling is my Superpower. I am a huge advocate for “In Person Sales” for portrait and wedding photographers, so you will hear frequent discussions about how to sell multiple wall portraits and albums to every client.
3-Actionable steps. Through engaging and fun conversation, we dive deep into their (and my) knowledge and insights to bring you actionable steps you can implement in your own photography business. It’s like having a chat with a trusted friend who genuinely care about your growth and success.
4-Fun Conversations. My style is to have a fun and warm interview with my guests and pull out gems you will enjoy and learn from.
5-Personal Growth. I am a big believer in positive thinking, power of attraction, and a success mindset that helps us in every aspect of our lives. I love to share my perspective and tools to enhance your inner journey to success.
