Is Video in Your Skill Set?

Intro by Skip Cohen Last year Suzette Allen shared a blog post about the importance of having video in your skill set. She gave some great examples of additional work their business has picked up simply because people saw they did video, even when their needs were for still imaging. Over the years the lines […]

Before You Open a Photography Studio

Intro by Skip Cohen If there’s one dream universal among the majority of photographers in the portrait/social categories, it’s having their own studio. Over the years I’ve watched some pretty accomplished artists expand to a studio and months later pull back as the overhead cost adds a new level of stress to their business. I […]

The Third Reason You Don’t Have More Clients

Intro by Skip Cohen Once again Nicole Begley knocks it out of the park! No matter how hard you work on your skill set, if you don’t pay attention to Customer Service, it will all be a waste. Customer Service (and I always capitalize it) is what separates you from your competitors. You’ve got to […]

The Second Reason You Don’t Have More Clients

  Intro by Skip Cohen Nicole Begley is back and today’s post is all about marketing. To her point, social media is only one vehicle, and you’ve got to expand your reach through every opportunity. For example, at the same time you’re doing an email blast, do a direct mail piece. An oversized postcard is […]

The First Reason You Don’t Have More Clients

Intro by Skip Cohen This is going to be a three-part post, so stay tuned for the second and third reasons your business might not be as strong as you hoped it would be. I completely agree with her point about pricing, but my pet peeve when I’m doing website reviews relates to the quality […]

Photography? It’s Not a Real Job

Intro by Skip Cohen I’m always amazed at the number of photographers I meet who are still fighting battles with family and friends over their career choice. And, while most of you are established and confident in your journey as an artist and business owner, I loved this archived post from Chamira Young. The truth […]

How Flexibility Can Hurt Your Business

Intro by Skip Cohen There’s so much great content in Nicole Begley’s archives, and today’s post is a perfect example. So often photographers want to be as flexible as they can be, especially in bringing in new clients. There’s nothing wrong in being accommodating, but to Nicole’s point, there’s something to be said about highlighting […]

You’re Only as Good as Your Willingness to Keep Learning

“When you reach the top, keep climbing!” It’s an old proverb, but it’s the way I’ve seen great photographers in our industry stay focused. They never slow down and never stop trying to learn something new. The first book I wrote was with Don Blair, Don Blair’s Guide to Posing and Lighting Body Parts. It […]

Building Your Business – One Bottle of Water at a Time

Intro by Skip Cohen Nicole Begley’s archives never disappoint me. She’s hitting on two simple concepts, exceeding client expectations and making yourself habit-forming. It couldn’t be easier to understand and even easier to implement. Years ago I remember Bambi Cantrell talking about doing wedding premier sessions in her home. Long before it was easy to […]

Is Your Business Dying a Digital Death?
