About this listen

In this episode, I’m joined by J. Nichole Smith, brand architect, creative strategist, and founder of Joy First World. We explore what branding really means beyond logos and colours, how to stand out in a saturated pet photography market, and why emotional connection is the key to building a business that lasts.

We talk about:

  • Why “pet photographer” isn’t a niche anymore
  • How to build desire instead of just selling information
  • Using your brand to confidently raise prices
  • The psychology behind visual branding
  • Growing your business through commercial pet photography
  • What the future of the pet industry might look like
