@Sherri Krams no this one will be focusing on planning for 2026, plus a review on 2025 focusing on overall goals etc

@Michelle Marchant no worries

Hey Paula, I think it's about finding your style. It may take you sometime in the beginning but once you've worked out what you love and what your "style" or brand is, then it's really important to be consistent so your brand looks cohesive. For me I use Imagen AI which has learnt my lightroom edits and then I take it into photoshop and apply the PS Actions I've recorded. I've taught my VA to edit the way I do it using my actions and she's doing a good job at being consistent and matching my style. Hope that helps

Hey @Mary Catala I love that you’re rethinking your structure this year for your floral session. What you experienced with the floral sessions is really common. When you open bookings to the public and spots feel scarce, people grab them quickly without actually reading anything. They’re driven by the novelty rather than the intention of investing in artwork. That’s not a “you” problem. It’s a filtering problem. A registration form as you mentioned is a great way to slow people down just enough so only the right clients move forward. I would outline on the landing page what you said as the qualifying question: “These sessions are a fine art experience focused on creating printed artwork, with most clients investing between $1200 - $2,000 on their final artwork.: And then for your qualifying question I would ask something along the lines of: These sessions are designed for clients who want something special and lasting. you interested in purchasing printed artwork? This helps catch people who only want digitals before they book. - Yes, I would love printed artwork of my dogs to display around my home - Maybe, I'd like to learn more - No, I just want the digitals or something along this line. You could also add another question • “Where do you imagine displaying your artwork at home?” This shifts their mindset into artwork ownership, which is important. I would limit it to these 2 questions and of course collect their contact details phone and email. The follow-up emails matter just as much as the form.Keep the first email warm, simple, and reassuring. Don’t overwhelm them with too much detail straight away. The goal of the first email is to reinforce the experience, not pressure them . For example: • A welcome email • A brief overview of the artwork experience • A couple of examples of what clients have previously purchased • Clear next steps The main point is you’re not trying to convince people. You’re trying to attract the ones already aligned. The right clients appreciate the care and the process. The wrong ones won’t make it past the form, or you'd at least know or have an idea, which saves you time and protects your energy.

@Mary Catala Great. When it's ready let me know.

@Carole-Ann Chambers that is amazing!! Congratulations. Now use that, do a press release and send it out to journalists to get some free PR.

@Stacey Sherman that’s so good!! Keep doing what you’re doing. You’ll keep building up visibility and more organic leads will come

@Dan Mowinski yeah it’s really annoying when they do that. I definitely want to keep this community on brand and supportive.

@Judith Conning thank you! So happy to hear this
