Luxury photography seems like a lot of hard work. But not when you think of it like this ⬇️

When you’re constantly juggling numerous sessions, it’s easy to feel burnt out and unable to provide the level of service your clients deserve.

I get it 🫠

You WANT to serve your clients, but it’s not always possible to create a personalised experience when you’re a one-person show.

You can only deal with what requires an immediate response.
If you’re nodding your head right now….read on.

✅ You’re booking out

✅ You have been told how great value you are

✅ You get great testimonials.

✅ People are consistently booking your top packages.

That’s great, but here are three telltale signs you are ready to go next level:

🙃You find yourself yearning to connect with your clients on a deeper level and offer a more customised experience.

🙃You’re overwhelmed by the administrative tasks and marketing efforts required to manage so many clients and sessions. You know you need a more efficient approach because right now, you feel like you are alone on a sinking island.

🙃You’re ready to prioritise quality over quantity, focusing on delivering a premium experience for each client rather than serving a high volume without connection.

I’m going to let you in on something…

Humans care most about themselves. Especially when it comes to hiring a personal service.

So when you’re talking up your past client and mentioning their story as if it is a humans of New York profile,

You aren’t exactly stopping them in their scroll.

What WILL hold their attention is if you make it about them.

Their needs.
Their desires.

The results you will get THEM.

That piece of information changed EVERYTHING.

So find a way to make it about your audience….even if it’s not.

To avoid feeling salesy, so many photographers offer less for less, instead of more for more.

Let’s take the mini session.

Less time >> Less images >> Less connection >> Less personalisation.

Less of an experience.

This approach can make photographers undervalue what they do and attract clients looking for cheap, fast photos.

This is a slippery slope to misaligned customers, fewer recommendations, and a portfolio that doesn’t really show off your best work….and so the cycle begins. 😅

Imagine if you focused on offering more instead.

More connection, more results, and a richer experience.

Sure, you might lose some price shoppers, but is that such a bad thing?

Start prioritising value over volume.

Mini sessions might be good for your calendar. #busybusy But are they as good for your client experience or profitability? 🧐

Ever taken a moment to crunch the numbers on your hourly rate for those “mini” sessions? 😳

Most photographers soon realise they’re not so “mini” after all…unless you’re talking about the profit. 🫠

As you promote your latest mini sessions, you’ve probably started to see a pattern.

➡️ The race against the clock to capture those hero shots in just 15 minutes….(No kid meltdowns allowed please!)

➡️ The amount of setup, scheduling and stress that comes along with back to back bookings.

➡️ Clients who seem to be there to get it done, tick a box and get their photos printed off at office works.

You think mini sessions are good for business.

Maybe you ARE attracting more clients, but are they the RIGHT clients for the service you want to provide…

So how do you create an offering that serves your clients AND doesn’t make you undercharge?

Let’s have a lack chat 💬

It’s an empty space right? All the things you “don’t” have.

Everything you “aren’t”. Fill in the blanks – talented, rich, funny. Thats a fun game to play (said no one 😏).

Buuut we all do it constantly…and I have a sneaking suspicion it’s holding you back in your work (and life!).

For may photographers this looks like constantly doubting their skills as well as a deep fear of being seen.

Trying to do everything so they’re spread too thin— which is like running a marathon without water. Not fun!

Or maybe they’re busy but lost, They need someone to show them the way but they’re drowning so can only think short term – not the bigger picture.
#IYKYK

So if you happen to be stuck in lack (just like I was and no doubt will be again), here’s what you can do ❤️

Start with a list of all the things you lack. (Don’t worry 😉)

It could be a lack of editing skills, lack of a good portfolio, lack of energy, lack of time, or lack of resources.

Then, flip that list around. Find the opportunity for growth in each of those items.

This might look like enrolling in an editing course; Reaching out to a dream client to improve your portfolio; Committing to a yoga class or hiring a VA.

Cause where there is lack, there is opportunity to grow.

So keep going x

🌹If your captions aren’t converting, you might need better captions.

While poetic captions may feel liberating, they often miss the mark when it comes to convincing clients to buy.

Here are three tangible strategies to create captions that sell:

☝️Focus on Benefits:
Instead of poetic language, highlight the tangible benefits your photography offers. For example, capturing photos of HOW you loved, not just who you loved.

☝️Use Social Proof:
When your words are falling short, use the words of others. testimonials demonstrate the value you’ve provided to past clients. This helps build trust and credibility with your audience.

☝️Have a goal for your post:
So often we just post away without thinking about. WHY did I actually want to post that. Was it to build trust, gain new followers, invite my audience to take action. Knowing why you are posting can keep you on track.
Who would be interested in a free masterclass on captions that convert?
