Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel on your photography career?  
  Maybe you’re struggling with: 
  Feeling like you’ve tried everything and still not finding right-fit clients
Working all hours of the day and losing the time freedom you set out to create
Being endlessly busy but unable to outsource or hire an employee
  My guest today, Angela Hopper Lee, was in the same boat. 
  Her photography degree didn’t teach her how to get clients. So, while she had a few regular clients who would return year after year, she wasn’t growing her business. 
  Thankfully, that’s when she found us. Just a short while later, she owned her time again AND was averaging $3,000 an order! 
  So if you want to learn how to stand out in a sea of competition and sell your photography as a shy introvert, hit play and get ready to feel inspired!

Have you ever wondered if you’re ready to start CHARGING for your photography? 
 
Maybe it feels too good to be true that you could make money doing something you love… 
 
Or maybe you worry that you’re not good enough to start making money…  
 
In this episode, I share eight ways to tell if you’re ready to start charging for your photography. 
 
I also share how I got into photography, what my first sale was like, and what some of my “mind trash” told me along the way (maybe it will sound familiar to you). 
 
When I was deciding to charge (and how much to charge) for my photography, my mind was filled with “what if?” questions like:  
 
What if I’m not good enough yet?  
What if she doesn’t like them? 
What if I charge too much? 
 
But I turned that first $50 sale into a 26-year career as a professional photographer, selling over $3 million of photography services (without a photography degree).  
 
So if you want to start charging for your photography but you’re not sure where to start, hit play and get ready to feel confident about your decision!

Have you ever felt like you needed to conform to what everyone else is doing in business? 
  Maybe you’ve seen digital files grow in popularity and considered switching or moving to a hybrid model.

  In this episode, she shares how she took action to find JOY in her business again, focused on quality over quantity, and went all-in on the boutique business model. 
  She also gives us the full story of how she was able to serve 20 high school senior clients FULLY last year, rather than churn through 75 as she had in previous years).

Did you know about the tax benefits you have access to if you have a business?
It’s true, friend. Money (and lack thereof) is top of mind for the large majority of us - more than family, or even work. If the thought of taxes is holding you back from starting your photography business,
I’ve got you covered.
In this episode, I’m going to share the amazing tax benefits you have as a business owner. If anything, this will make you want to start your business sooner. Everything from trips, equipment, furniture, and so much more is applicable to tax concessions.
So grab a cup of your favorite beverage and pop open a Google doc -- because you’re definitely going to want to take notes for this one.
