I ran my own photography business for 17 years. I started in 1998 shooting film, transitioned to digital in 2003, and grew a successful business operation with a team of photographers. My specialty was real estate and architectural photography, as I really enjoyed that line of work, but I also did weddings and family portraits.

Then in 2015 I sold the business (so if you’re thinking of one day selling your photography business I can certainly speak to that from experience), and started full-time doing business coaching for photographers.

Since then I’ve literally done thousands of private coaching sessions and group coaching sessions, having worked with photo and video professionals across the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe and Asia.

How do I help photographers and videographers?

I help photo & video professionals with:

• Business systems: Review your current business systems and make any recommendations to help you improve your business.
• Marketing: Review what you are currently doing to attract clients and define what you could be doing to get better results.
• Sales: Introduce strong sales processes so you convert more potential clients into actual clients.
• Pricing: Make sure you are both profitable and consistent with where you want to be as a photographer.
• Goal setting: Define your business goals and the steps you need to take to get there.
• Team development: I can help you introduce systems and processes that will help you build a team so you don't have to do everything yourself and can take time off when you want to.
• Website: Define the changes you might need to make to your website to attract your dream clients, and work on your SEO so you're found on page one of a local search.
• Social media: Review your social media posts and, if appropriate, recommend any changes to help you increase sales.
• General support: Running a business on your own can be a lonely business, so I also function as an advisor & friend who can encourage business owners to stay focused, make better decisions and feel more confident in the work they do.

Do I work with photographers and videographers in all industries?

Yes, I do help all sorts of photographers and videographers - portrait, wedding, event, corporate, pet, commercial, architectural, real estate.

I know you're concerned that this will be an annoying sales pitch, but I promise you - I'm not going to annoy you or anything like that. Here's how this will work:

1. You complete the form below, answering whatever questions you would like to answer. Just note that the more details you can share, the better the growth plan will be.
2. I'll send you an email with the business growth plan (a list of steps that I would recommend you take to develop your business).
3. What you do with this plan is totally up to you. You can totally implement it on your own, though I know a lot of photographers struggle to follow through on getting these things done.
   Therefore my hope is that you'll invite me to help you implement this business growth plan. This is what I've been doing for photographers and videographers since 2015, but there's certainly no requirement or expectation to work with me in any way, shape or form.

A Business Growth Plan is a clear, written roadmap that shows you what to focus on next to grow your photo or video business.

You answer a short assessment, then you get a tailored plan that highlights what I think is working in your business, what is costing you money or time, and the steps you should prioritize today.
