Holidays
How are things looking for you/your business in this season? Slowing down for some much needed rest, or chugging along at a good pace?

Thank you so much for sharing! I gotta say, being a boudoir photographer in Florida was definitely more attainable than Mississippi has been in the 3 years I have been here! So I decided to try something new and I feel a fire again! I’m able to use the skills i have learned over my 16 years in the business for products and I’m having so much fun!!!! Watching everyone’s YouTube channels to learn as much as i can. Even incorporating gels from what i learned from The Gel Code class that you offer Leroy!
Marketing tips
Hey! As we get closer to the holidays, sessions have slowed down just a bit. The good thing is—it’s given me some breathing room to be in the office, get caught up, and really reconnect with some of my customers again. It’s been refreshing to slow down just enough to have real conversations, hear what people are needing, and make sure we’re serving them well going into the new year. I dropped a new YouTube video where I share a few quick things I’ve been doing lately to stay connected with clients during the slower season. If you want to check it out, here’s the link: 👉 https://youtu.be/8K-fgxUMmgU?si=i2VoKE5A6haBWIRg Since we’re heading into Thanksgiving week, drop a comment and share one thing you’re grateful for in your business this year. Big or small—maybe a client win, a lesson learned, new clarity, or just the fact that you’re still pushing forward. Gratitude fuels growth. Love y’all and happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🙏📸

I’m grateful that I get to do this for a living! Grateful for having my incredible kids (and their partners) and hubby here to enjoy the holidays together. Also grateful for this photographic community and for industry leaders like you who share their knowledge and help us grow our skills! Happy Thanksgiving

Welcome everyone!
The struggle is real at times.
What are you struggling with right now in your photography or business?

@Leroy Tademy yeah that seems to be my problem right now. I think I’m too expensive for one market and not quite high enough for the luxury market (if you get what I’m saying).

@Leroy Tademy I’m in discussions with a videographer to do a video of a luxury portrait session with hair/makeup, champagne, cheese & crackers and all the pampering. I wish I was better at creating videos cause I’m horrible but I know video is king for algorithms
