If you're getting inquiries but they're not converting to bookings, the problem probably isn't your pricing—it's your consultation process.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact consultation framework I use that converts 80%+ of my inquiries into signed contracts. This isn't about being salesy or pushy. It's about creating a consultation experience that helps couples feel confident in their decision to work with you.

What we're covering:

• The biggest consultation mistake photographers make (and why it kills your booking rate)
• My 5-phase consultation framework that builds connection and closes with confidence
• The questions that create emotional investment (not just logistics)
• How to present your pricing without apologizing or second-guessing yourself
• The exact words I use to end consultations with clear next steps
• Why most photographers who struggle with bookings don't have a pricing problem—they're missing a consultation system

Here's the truth: talented photographers lose bookings every single day not because their work isn't good enough, but because they don't have a framework for guiding couples from "interested" to "yes."

If you want the complete consultation framework, including the exact questions I ask, how I structure the conversation, and templates for follow-up, it's all inside The Collective. This week we're releasing the Finding & Booking Dream Clients module, and the consultation system is a huge part of it.

Launch pricing ends 12/8/25—$39/month gets you lifetime access at that rate before it goes up to $75/month in January.

Ever had one of those moments where you seriously considered throwing in the towel on your photography business? I definitely have. In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing the story of my lowest point as a photographer—when I was working 60+ hour weeks, shooting 25+ weddings a year, and somehow still stressed about money every single month.

This isn't just a "things got better" story. It's about the specific mindset shifts and practical changes that transformed my relationship with my photography business from something that was draining my life to something that actually serves it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The exact moment I realized I was building an expensive hobby, not a business
• Why "just work harder" was keeping me broke and burned out
• The calculator results that changed everything (spoiler: they weren't pretty)
• How I went from feast-or-famine to consistent income without working more hours
• The real difference between busy photographers and profitable photographers
• 
  

Perfect for: Photographers who feel like they're working harder than ever but not seeing the financial results they want, anyone questioning if this whole photography business thing is actually sustainable, and those ready to stop trading time for money.
