Branding Tog Bootcamp
When I niched down to branding photography, bookings were slow. I was fumbling my way through my workflow and guessing at what I should be charging. I still wasn’t getting bookings and I knew I had to make something happen.
But I wanted to make it work.
I wanted to stop taking on wedding and family photography projects - because I just wasn’t happy.
I was overworked and feeling lost in my business.
Until I tried a mini session event for branding photography. Of course it was a total financial loss, but I was hooked.
So after I decided to niche down to branding photography, I quickly learned that it was MUCH different than families, than weddings, than basically every other genre I had tried before.
Finding clients was different..
The workflow was different - I ended up learning that if I got clients on the phone I had a 90% booking rate!
Shoot planning was much more than I expected…how the heck do I even know what stories to tell?!
How do I pose my them?
What about editing and image delivery?
All of these things I had to fumble my way through but once I:
Truly started representing myself as the expert
Understood who my ideal client was
Realized what I SHOULD be charging and what my worth is
Established a semi-automatic workflow…that got clients on the PHONE
And delivered a shoot that not only represented their brand but gave them USEFUL images
All while not being afraid of indoor lighting
I regularly started booking clients.
And by the end of 2019 (my first year as a branding-only photographer) I booked 26 clients.
And now I want to share exactly what I did to get there.
