Want to know one of the easiest ways I consistently book more clients—without ads, constant posting, or awkward pitches?

It’s an email.

Yep, just one simple, intentional email to my past clients that gently reminds them about my referral program… and it works like magic.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• The exact email I send (and how often I send it)
• Why this little reminder creates BIG results for my bookings
• What to include in your referral email to make it easy and effective
• How to create a referral program that clients actually use

If you’ve been sleeping on your past clients or don’t have a referral system in place—this episode is your sign to change that. This email takes 10 minutes to write and could fill your calendar for the next few months. 👏

We talk about “success” a lot in business… but have you ever stopped to ask:

Whose definition of success am I chasing?

In this week’s episode, we’re getting real about what success actually means—and how to define it in a way that feels aligned, not overwhelming.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

• The moment I realized I was chasing someone else’s version of success
• Why traditional markers like income, followers, and bookings don’t tell the whole story
• How to create your own definition of success (and let it evolve!)
• A few journal prompts + mindset shifts to help you get clear on what your version of success looks like

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things but still wondering “is this it?”—this episode is your reminder to pause, reflect, and give yourself permission to do success your way.

🎧 Hit play and let’s redefine what thriving really looks like.

Are you unknowingly standing in the way of your own success?

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked business killers: a negative mindset.

After working with coaching clients who are stuck in cycles of self-doubt, comparison, and “this won’t work for me” energy, I realized how often our thoughts quietly sabotage our success—before we even give ourselves a chance to try.

Inside this episode, I’m sharing:

• Real stories from photographers struggling to grow because of mindset blocks
• Why being coachable is essential (and what happens when you’re not)
• How your mindset impacts your marketing, bookings, and energy
• Simple ways to reset your perspective and stop spiraling
• The mindset shift I personally had to make to grow my own business

If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like you’re doing everything but still not seeing results—this episode is for you.

💡Spoiler: It’s not always about your strategy. Sometimes, it’s about your beliefs.

We’re halfway through the year—can you believe it?!

Before you dive into fall promos, holiday minis, or your next Instagram Reel… it’s time for a little business self-care.

In this episode, I’m guiding you through a simple but powerful mid-year check-in for your photography business using my Keep, Tweak, Ditch method. Whether you’re feeling on fire or totally frazzled, this quick audit will help you reflect on what’s working, what’s not, and what needs a glow-up.

Here’s what you’ll do with me inside the episode:

• Look at what’s bringing in clients and joy → KEEP it
• Identify what needs a little tune-up → TWEAK it
• Say goodbye to what’s draining you → DITCH it

Plus, I’ll walk you through a mindset realignment exercise to help you reconnect with your big picture goals — so you can head into the second half of the year with clarity and confidence.

This is your permission slip to pause, reflect, and rework the parts of your biz that aren’t serving you.

Do you really have to show up on social media to run a successful photography business?

In this episode, we’re having a real talk about the social media game - and whether or not it makes sense for YOU.

I’ll walk you through:

✔️ How to decide if social media should be a core part of your marketing plan (or not)

✔️ Why it’s okay to focus on other marketing outlets (email, SEO, referrals) if social isn’t your thing

✔️ If you do decide to use social, how to create posts that align with what platforms want — without dancing, pointing, or being fake

✔️ The difference between posting to connect vs. posting to check a box

Whether you’re ready to lean into social media or step away without guilt, this episode will help you find a marketing approach that works for you and your business.
