Some photography advice you didn’t ask for. 😬
But you promised not to get offended, sooooo…
There’s a point in your business where another lens, another prop, another backdrop, another workshop, or another fully booked month isn’t going to fix the problem.
Sometimes you need to shoot more.
Sometimes you need to charge more.
Sometimes you need to redo the business plan you made three years ago.
Sometimes you need to stop watching what everyone else is doing.
And sometimes you need to realize that being incredibly talented doesn’t automatically mean you’re running an incredible business.
I’ve learned A LOT through photography, owning a studio, renting that studio to other creatives, working with clients, making expensive mistakes, changing my pricing, and figuring things out as I go.
And one thing I will stand on:
Your talent may get someone’s attention. Your client experience, consistency, professionalism, and ability to actually run a business are what keep you in business.
And PLEASE stop letting someone using the same creative idea as yours ruin your Tuesday. 😂 They still don’t have your eye. 🫰 🫰
Okayyyyy… did I offend anyone? 🤷🏻♀️
Save this for the next time you’re about to buy a new lens instead of updating your cost of doing business. 😭
