Hey Photographers,
IF THERE IS ONE THING I KNOW, IT’S THAT WE CAN’T DO THIS ALONE
Need someone to bounce ideas off of? To look at your business with some outside perspective?
In the spirit of community building, I’m offering one free 20 minute mentoring session a month.
Services I love and couldn’t live without
These are products I use daily in my photography business. From my CRM, to email marketing and everything in between, these are the tools I use. Please note that some of these are affiliate links which means I may receive a small commission – but everything here is something I personally use and really recommend.
Pic-Time
The most beautiful and functional gallery software you could ask for. You can use my affiliate code to get one month free here. Code: R5TD5C

This one is newer to me but I’m so blown away by the quality of this newsletter, I wanted to share. It’s specifically for wedding photographers, but I think the insights can apply to all genres. Full of what is cool and new in photography.

DON’T KNOW WHERE TO EVEN START WITH TOOLS AND SYSTEMS?
Sarah is a heartsmart photographer and a whipsmart business woman.
She has not only helped me to structure my pricing model. she gives brilliant advice on navigating clients’s asks, how to pivot if it rains during your shoot, how to set boundaries, how to stay creatively fresh, etc
It’s not easy being a one person band. Taking actual photos is such a small piece of a photography business – I had no idea. Thank goodness I was able to lean on Sarah as my mentor. I would not have been able to get my business off the ground, much less sustain it, without her guidance, intelligence and unwavering support.
