Hi everyone, this may have already been discussed but I would love to know what everyone uses and how they found using it. Flodesk is just out of budget for me for the moment at $53-$58AUD. I found some alternatives are only a $10 AUD difference with Flodesk 😅

I used to do floral sessions, charged $295 for them (much higher than regular sessions) I found them to be my worst earning sessions, despite all the info I provide before booking and after, people still act shocked. I believe this to be because I opened booking slots to the public, and so they book without reading and just agreeing to everything so they don’t miss out and get a spot, for the novelty of it. This year I’m doing it differently, hoping to release a form so people can register their interest - limiting the sessions to 4 standard sessions ($195), 2 exclusive ones (around the $4k range) in a large package with special privileges. After form is submitted they will receive welcome email, etc. but my question is: what questions should I ask in the form - I want to keep it simple but also want to know how much info to give in the first impression. Would love to know what others do for competitions, contests, book project forms, etc. So far, my qualifying question for the form is : “These sessions are a fine art experience focused on creating printed artwork, with most clients investing between $1200 - $2,000 on their final artwork. Does this feel aligned with what you’re looking for?” Any suggestions welcome and appreciated - even for the emails that should be sent after and how much initial info to provide 💛

Hey guys. The tree photo is how I’ve been typically shooting my sessions for the past year. And the Doberman is one I did recently and that’s how I want to start editing more. In my sessions I want to start including some photos where it’s not really about the background as such.. more about the dog and a good bokeh/blur. I was wondering if anyone had any photos like that for inspo? I do love the photos where most of the image is bokeh/blurred and just the subject is in focus.. maybe in some grass.. a lavender field.. a tree stump etc. I recently bought the Sony 85mm 1.8. But I am on a cropped sensor and thinking of upgrading to the a7ii for full frame. I hope I’m making sense? Feel free to post inspo below I’d love to see and have some ideas and lens options xoxo

Share your wins this week, big or small!! My wins: - I’ve created a 12 months mastermind and I’m so excited to have @Jo Lyons and @Yunet Solorzano signed up this week! It’s going to be an amazing year working with you both supporting you with your marketing! - Had a great $4k sale this week from a client who came in from one of my pet of the season giveaways.

Both came from event giveaways (free session plus credit or print). Share yours below! I’d love to cheer you on!
