Release Date: 06/07/2024

All Angles Photography Podcast

What if slowing down was actually the smartest business move you could make right now? I know it sounds counterintuitive—especially in an industry that glorifies the hustle and constantly showing up. But here's what I've learned after over five years of building, scaling, and sustaining a successful photography business: not everything is glass. Some things are rubber, and they can bounce for a bit while you get ahead, refine, and create space for what really matters. All Angles Photography Podcast is taking a short break, and I'm coming back on February 13th with new episodes. This isn't...

85 - Jess's Scale It Review: Outsourcing, Systems, + an Associate Team

All Angles Photography Podcast

What if your photography business could keep booking clients, serving couples beautifully, and generating revenue—even when you're going through the hardest season of your life? Most photographers think scaling means raising prices or shooting more weddings. But true scaling means building a business that runs without you, whether you're on vacation, navigating a personal crisis, or simply choosing to step back for a season. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Jess, one of my Scale It graduates who transformed her thriving-but-exhausting photography business into a sustainable model with...

83 - Nicole's Scale It Review: Highest Revenue Year Through Outsourcing, Email Marketing, and Albums

All Angles Photography Podcast

You're working 70-hour weeks, manually tracking every client, taking days to respond to inquiries—and while your business looks successful on paper, you're completely drowning behind the scenes.

That scaling your photography business isn't about working more, but about building systems, email funnels, and strategic outsourcing that actually give you your life back?

82 - Annika's Scale It Review: Five-Figure Months in Motherhood

All Angles Photography Podcast

You know that feeling when you're sitting on the couch during your baby's contact nap, desperately trying to balance your laptop while answering client emails—all while wishing you could just soak up this precious moment? If you're nodding along thinking "that's literally me," then you need to hear Annika's story. She went from survival mode as a new mom photographer to celebrating back-to-back five-figure months, one of them while on vacation without her laptop.

81 - My Client Files: A Recent Booking and a Recent Rejection

All Angles Photography Podcast

What if I told you that the photography inquiry you lost last week wasn't because your prices were too high, but because your business didn't feel professional enough? In today's behind-the-scenes episode, I'm sharing the raw truth about a recent $15,000+ wedding inquiry rejection that taught me everything about luxury client expectations, plus a $10,000 booking story where the couple chose me over cheaper photographers specifically because of my business foundations. These real client experiences reveal exactly what separates profitable wedding photographers from hobbyists in today's...

80 - Trinity's Scale It Review: $22K Months, 6 Figures, and Her Husband Home

All Angles Photography Podcast

Are you an exhausted photographer feeling trapped in the endless cycle of posting on Instagram, getting ghosted by potential clients, and watching your income fluctuate wildly while you trade every weekend for barely enough profit? What if I told you that one of my Scale It students went from that exact place to booking out her entire year with Google ads, hitting $22,000 months, and creating enough financial freedom for her husband to quit his corporate job - all while spending more time with her kids? In this episode, I'm sharing Trinity's complete transformation story, from struggling with...

79 - Things I Outsource In My Business + Life

All Angles Photography Podcast

Are you convinced that outsourcing means losing control of your photography business? That no one can do it as well as you? Here's the perspective shift you need: every time you delay outsourcing, you're trading your time, energy, and presence with the people who matter most for the illusion of control. The truth is, outsourcing isn't about dropping the ball as a business owner - it's about stepping fully into your CEO role. Think about it: how many successful CEOs do you know who actually do everything themselves? They don't, and neither should you. In this episode, I'm pulling back the...

The truth is, you can deliver stunning wedding galleries in just 2 hours of hands-on work while maintaining complete artistic control—and I'm about to share with you exactly how.

77 - Selling Your Highest Package Without Feeling Salesy

All Angles Photography Podcast

Getting nervous when it's time to talk pricing with potential wedding clients? You're probably not being salesy at all – you're just missing the strategy behind confident package recommendations. Most wedding photographers fall into one of two camps: either underselling by default because you assume couples want the cheapest option, or pitching low packages out of fear of rejection. But what if I told you that your highest package is often exactly what couples want when you know how to present it as the perfect solution for their dream wedding day? In this episode, I'm sharing how to sell...

A huge goal for so many photographers is to reach six figures, whether that just looks like a hundred thousand or you actually have the goal to profit six figures, which I personally do yearly. As someone who has gone from charging $2K for weddings to charging $5K for weddings, and then now up to $10K for weddings, I want to share what some of those differences might look like between the $2K range and the $5K range. I’m also talking about how to get from one tier to the other.

A lot of this does depend on your location, expertise, and experience. So, we’re going to talk through all of these things as well as reverse engineer what your goal is and what would be needed from you to be able to reach that goal.

In this episode, we cover:
