I just wanted to so a shout out to celebrate those of you in the group who have been engaging and contributing. I've been checking my metrics for the group and: In the past 30 days, the group grew to 153 members (+21). I've had to kick out a few people for trying to solicit business. I want to keep this community about pet photographers helping each other and anyone trying to push their services or soliciting business will be removed. If you see anyone doing this please report them and I'll make sure they are out of the group. I want this group to be filled with authentic and genuine people. ➡️ In the last week 53 members (35%) were active. ➡️ Highest Activity: 130 activities on December 3 ➡️ Lowest activity: 12 activities on November 30 I really want this to be an engaged community and here's how you can help: ➡️ COMMENT on posts ➡️ LIKE and support each other’s posts ➡️ CREATE a post, ASK questions & jump into conversations ➡️ INVITE others to the community 💥 The more we engage, the more we amplify each other’s success and the more opportunities flow back into your business.

If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving today, I hope you’re spending it with people you love. And even if it’s just a regular Thursday for you, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for being part of this community. I’m so grateful for everyone in the Pet Photographers Collective. The questions you ask. The ideas you share. The way you show up for each other. And I really feel like that ao many of you have turned from “people on the internet” into actual friends. Thank you for the energy you bring. Thank you for the support you give each other. Thank you for helping this space grow into something I genuinely look forward to every day. Whether today is a holiday or not, I appreciate you.

Hey everyone, before we roll into a new week… take a minute to pause. What do you want this week to feel like in your business? Maybe it’s calm. Maybe it’s productive. Maybe it’s the week you finally stop doubting yourself and hit “post” on that offer. Drop a few words below that sums up your intention for the week. Let’s make it real by saying it out loud here. What’s your intention for this week?

Google just sent me an email saying :Congrats on reaching 10 clicks in 28 days!" It's probably because I signed up for Google console recently. I've had this website for years, so in reality I really need to do some work. I'm completely changing from Pixieset to Squarespace (I don't understand wordpress) so Do you think that I really need to make it a priority with such poor results?

Did you know this??? It's coming fast. Have you got your marketing started for Christmas? What are you doing for Christmas? Some ideas for marketing for Christmas that you can do Christmas 2025 Marketing (October–December) - “Gift a Session” or "Gift an experience" : Position as meaningful, thoughtful gifts for dog lovers who “already have everything.” Push urgency by setting a cut-off date for Christmas delivery. - Countdown Campaign: Social/email series like “12 Days of Christmas Memories,” showcasing wall art ideas, past clients’ stories, and behind-the-scenes prep. - Festive Christmas Mini Sessions: If aligned with your brand, do styled Christmas shoots (studio/outdoor with subtle festive props). Keep them limited and high-touch so they fit your premium positioning. - Artwork Under-the-Tree Guarantee. Create urgency to get them to book in. E.g. Session must be booked by this date and artwork must be ordered by this date so you can gift it under your Christmas tree. - Past-Client Reprint Days: Create a short window to offer to past clients to order prints and artwork from previous sessions. Free gift wrapping for orders placed in the window… pick-up or courier. - Charity Advent: 12 micro-sessions over 12 days… $X from every booking to a local rescue. - The 12 Breeds of Christmas Giveaway: For 12 days, reveal one breed per day. Owners of that breed can claim a complimentary session (with your usual artwork credit/deposit system). They must book by midnight the same day (or within 24 hours) to lock it in. Here are just some ideas to get you started. Comment below if there's other ideas that you have.
