Feeling stuck in the comparison trap? You’re not alone. In a world where every scroll on Instagram shows another photographer’s “perfect” work, it’s easy to question your own skills and wonder how you’ll ever stand out.

In this episode of the Girl Means Business Podcast, we’re talking about how to stay confident in a crowded photography market. I’ll share why comparison happens, how it holds you back, and most importantly — how to flip it into confidence that actually helps you grow.

You’ll learn:

✨ The dangers of comparison (and how it sabotages your business).

✨ Simple shifts to stop comparing and start standing tall in your own lane.

✨ Practical tools to build confidence and attract your dream clients.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why would anyone hire me when there are so many other photographers?” this episode will remind you exactly why you’re worth booking.

Marketing your photography business doesn’t have to mean endless social media posts or feeling chained to your phone. What you really need is a system — a clear path that turns strangers into subscribers, and subscribers into paying clients. That system? It’s called a marketing funnel.

In this episode of the Girl Means Business Podcast, I’m breaking down exactly how to create a photography marketing funnel that works — without being overwhelming or overly complicated.

We’ll cover:

✨ What a marketing funnel actually is (and why every photographer needs one).

✨ How to connect your social media, website, and email list so they work together.

✨ Real-life examples of simple funnels for family, newborn, and wedding photographers.

✨ Why a funnel helps you book clients consistently and avoid burnout.

Whether you’re brand new to funnels or just tired of guessing where your next client will come from, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to set up a system that fills your calendar year-round.

Ever had a client inquire and then… crickets? You’re not alone. The truth is, most photography clients need multiple touchpoints before they’re ready to book — and if you’re not following up consistently, you’re leaving money (and dream sessions) on the table.

In this episode of the Girl Means Business Podcast, we’re diving into the power of email automations for photographers. I’ll break down why a simple follow-up email sequence is one of the most effective ways to turn subscribers into paying clients, without adding more work to your already busy schedule.

You’ll learn:

✨ The 5 emails every photographer should include in a follow-up sequence.

✨ How automations build trust, authority, and bookings while you sleep.

✨ The most common mistakes photographers make with email follow-ups (and how to fix them).

✨ Easy tools that make automation simple — even if you’re not “techy.”

If you’ve ever wished you had a marketing assistant working behind the scenes for you, this episode will show you how to create one with a few automated emails.
