Hey everyone! It's that time of year. You're looking back at 2025, and maybe you're feeling one of two things: 1. "Wow, that was a whirlwind. I'm exhausted, and I have no idea how to make next year less chaotic." 2. "I hit some goals, but I feel like I was just winging it. I need a REAL plan for 2026." If either of those sounds familiar, I've created something just for you. Introducing: The Plan Your 2026 Workshop This is a LIVE, 90-minute workshop where we will plan for 2026 with intention. This isn't about setting vague goals and hoping for the best. This is a hands-on, reflection-based planning experience designed to give you clarity and a plan for your most profitable and fulfilling year yet. By the end of this workshop, you will have: ✓ Clarity on what to let go of and what to double down on. ✓ Your 2026 Identity & Theme: A guiding principle for the year. ✓ Your "This Time Next Year" Vision: A compelling picture of your future across YOU, BUSINESS, and LIFESTYLE. ✓ Specific Revenue & Session Goals: The numbers you're actually working toward. ✓ Your Big Rocks Map: The non-negotiable anchors for your year (professional & personal). ✓ Your Q1 2026 Focus: Your top 3 priorities to start the year with momentum. The Details: - Date: Tuesday, December 17, 2025 - Time: 9:00 AM Sydney time - Where: Live on Zoom. Details in the Calendar tab - Investment: FREE for the Pet Photographers Collective members Can't make it live? The replay will be available for US$27, or you can get it for free when you join the Premium Membership. This is for you if you're tired of reactive, last-minute marketing and you're ready to plan your 2026 with intention. This is NOT for you if you're looking for a magic bullet or you're not willing to do the work. Why I'm Doing This I see too many talented pet photographers get stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and inconsistent bookings because they don't have a plan. This workshop is designed to break that cycle.

I'll be here till Wednesday next week, Today and tomorrow will be full of learning. Then I have a couple of days to just relax. Also November was a great month for me and my highest revenue month.

Has anyone photographed a snake? I had some call today and wants their albino hognose baby snake photographed. It’s about 12”. We’re doing it tomorrow. Any tips or tricks? I’m not afraid of snakes and think it’ll be kinda cool. Just want some ideas to try out. Thanks!

Hi guys. I do have my style of editing that I like. Sometimes it’s hard to achieve just because my photoshop skills are still developing. But I do struggle sometimes to stay cohesive throughout my clients edits. As you all know, shooting outside the lights always different even from one shot to another, the backdrop is different as it changes throughout the seasons and sometimes even in each shot for me too as I live in England 😂 I was wondering if anyone has any tips on keeping my images cohesive. I use Lightroom classic and Photoshop for reference. I’m aware of the pasting settings and masks. But I feel I’m doing something wrong. I also feel it’s time for me to start shooting better. I used to shoot whatever I could get. But I feel I need to start planning out my shots better. Which is hard when we have tornado dogs on our sessions 🌪️ 😂 I shot a session last week and it’s so hard for me to edit in my style because it was such a bright day and I was in a different location not much shade. My style is more moody sometimes slightly underexposed look and towards a fine art style for outdoor photography. Sorry for the long message but grateful of any tips as I’m self taught I’ve been doing this for one year xx
