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.
