Business Coaching
for Photographers
STAND OUT, Get booked
AND MAKE A LIVING DOING WHAT YOU LOVE.
Operating a photography business is
20% photography and 80% business.
Most photographers get into business because they fall head over heels in love photography and want to pursue their passion. But business can be hard!
Dane Sanders writes in Fast Track Photographer that 60% of photography businesses will fail in the first year. 60%! Only 15% of photographers make it to year three and beyond.
That's a lot of dreams dashed.
And I totally get it. It can be completely overwhelming! From designing a website, breaking through the noise on social media, making nice with google, figuring how to get inquiries, figuring out how to get those inquiries to turn into clients, then figuring out how to make those clients happy. Oh, and putting together pricing that attracts the right clients but also allows you to pay yourself. And where to even begin with sales?
A lot of photographers try to piece together advice from other photographers on social media - or they'll copy what an industry guru does.
But I've seen too many times that what works for one photographer doesn't always work for all of them. Business isn't one-size-fits-all!
But that doesn't mean you won't succeed.
Your dream doesn't have to die.
"Christy has been my photography business coach for the last few months and I am absolutely thrilled with how much she has already helped me. As a solo entrepreneur, there are endless things that I could be doing at any moment and it can be a little dizzying for even the most organized person to feel like they have it all under control. Now, thanks to Christy, I finally feel like I have a more regular work routines, better work-life balance, and a thriving business.
I cannot say enough good things about her - she is so knowledgeable, kind, and helpful and I am really excited to see where my business will go from here with her continued support."
