    How to Get Repeat Photography Clients

    Repeat clients are what turn a photography business into something you can plan around, with families you photograph for years and a calendar that partly fills itself. In this best-of episode, Kim pulls four conversations from the archive that together map out how photographers build that kind of predictable, relationship-driven income. In This Episode Why baby plans solve real problems for families and how one photographer pitches a three-session plan that replaced her wedding income How a mini membership keeps past clients in the fold when they've priced out of full sessions Why noticing, remembering, and honoring the people in your community is the heart of lasting client relationships The simple practice of reaching out to past clients with no agenda and how it leads to families who return for over a decade How predictable, repeat income changes the way you plan your business year Whether you're building your first baby plan or rethinking how you stay connected to past clients, these four conversations offer a complete picture of retention done with heart. Enrollment in The Motherhood Anthology Membership is open right now, with 15 mentors, a new featured educator each month, live coaching calls, and nearly 800 photographers talking about this work every day.

    Episode 180: How to Attract High-End Photography Clients

    A high-end client is not a zip code or an income bracket. She is someone who values photography, is willing to invest in you and your art, and she exists in your market right now. In this best-of episode, five conversations from the archive come together to answer one of the most-asked questions in our community: how do you actually attract luxury clients? In This Episode Why luxury is not a price tag, but what happens when your language, standards, client experience, and quality of work all line up in the same direction Ashlyn Carter's framework for finding your "onlyness," the differentiation that makes you the only choice in a market full of beautiful work Sean Low's reframe for the moment a prospect compares you to a $500 photographer, and why refusing to legitimize a business that is not yours changes the whole conversation Cassia Fletcher on identifying the clients who feel like friends instead of work, getting out into your community to find them, and letting go of the ones who are not yours Brittany Barb's pre-appointment mindset ritual and the confidence shift that took her from $500 all-inclusive sessions to her first $4,000 sale Elizabeth Messina on why the quality of your work is the foundation everything else is built on, and what it takes to create a business with real longevity Heard together, these five voices offer a complete picture of the mindset shift behind upmarket positioning. If you have been wondering whether high-end clients are available to you, this episode will show you they are, and exactly where to start.

    How to Increase Your Photography Sales

    Selling is the moment where everything you have built comes together. Your pricing, your client experience, your products, and your belief in your own work all show up in a single conversation with a client. In this best-of episode, we pull four conversations from the archives, each offering a different layer of what it takes to sell more of your artwork, albums, and wall art with confidence and integrity. In This Episode Why selling artwork starts with a mindset shift, not a sales script How a la carte pricing can remove the ceiling on what you earn The power of a virtual ordering appointment for serving clients well Why holding your own work in print changes the way you sell it How a simple, low-pressure question opens the sales conversation Why investing in your own education is the line item that compounds The long game: building sales skills one intentional step at a time Heard back to back, these four voices make a strong case that selling is not a personality trait you either have or you don't. It is a natural extension of the work, something that flows from confidence, process, and the right tools. A profitable, fulfilling photography business is built on serving your clients well and standing behind the value of what you create. The pricing and sales work in this episode is exactly what we go deep on inside the membership every month, with a new featured educator, live coaching calls, a community of a few hundred photographers working through the same questions you are, plus a monthly marketing suite of ready-to-go templates, newsletter copy, and social captions. Enrollment is open right now for a short window. If today lit something up in you, head over to themotherhoodanthology.com and join us.

    How Much Should You Charge For Photography? (Part 2)

    Pricing comes up in our community more than almost anything else, in the coaching calls, in the DMs, in the late-night worries. The reason is simple: pricing touches everything. Your confidence, your client experience, your time with your family, your ability to keep this business going for the long haul. For this best-of episode, we pulled five conversations from the Season 5 archive that, side by side, give you a complete picture of how to think about what you charge. In This Episode: The four pricing tiers and what each one actually requires, so you can build a business that fits the photographer you want to be What "enough" really means for your life, and why naming your freedom figure is the thing that lets you breathe Why raising your prices is never enough on its own, and the client experience work that has to hold the new number up How to say your prices out loud with confidence and move past the money blocks that keep so many of us quiet What a full pricing transformation looks like from the inside, twelve months in, including what finally moved the needle Pricing isn't just a number on your website. It's the thing that gives you room to do your best work and the thing that gives you your life back. Whether you're staring down a price increase or just tired of guessing, these five conversations are your reality check and your permission slip, all at once. Each of these women is connected to TMA in some way, whether as a mentor, a featured educator, a coaching week guest, or a member who let us walk alongside their transformation. If these conversations leave you wanting to be in the room where this work happens between episodes, this is your invitation.

    How the Right Clients Find You (The Marketing Curriculum)

    Marketing is the topic photographers ask about more than any other, and for good reason: you can have beautiful work, smart pricing, and a solid business model, but none of it matters if the right clients can't find you. For this best-of episode, we pulled six conversations from the Season 5 archive that, side by side, read like a complete marketing curriculum. Together they offer a clear, practical answer to the question underneath so many late-night worries: how do I get seen by the people I actually want to work with? In This Episode: Why scattered, inconsistent marketing falls flat, and the framework that gives you something strategic to start from Foundational tactics for building visibility from scratch, whether you're in a new town, a new niche, or a quiet season A "be seen" approach to putting yourself in front of the right people with simple, tangible actions Why email is a relationship tool, not just a sales tool, and the cadence that gives you permission to show up consistently The deliverability mechanics behind every email, and why quality of audience beats vanity metrics every time The throughline across all six conversations: your story is the one thing no one, and no AI, can replicate Each of these educators is part of TMA in some way, whether as a mentor, a featured educator, or a guest who shaped how the community thinks about this work. If these conversations leave you wanting a marketing system like the ones you heard, and the room where that work happens between episodes, this is your invitation.

    How Much Should You Charge For Photography? (A Pricing Reality Check)

    It's been a hard year for a lot of photographers, and so many of the questions keep circling back to the same quiet worry: how much should I actually be charging? For this best-of episode, we pulled together some of the wisest voices from the TMA community to answer the question almost every photographer wrestles with at 2 a.m. Together, these conversations offer an honest pricing reality check, one that goes well beyond the number on your website. In This Episode: Why undercharging quietly hurts both you and your clients, and why losing the wrong clients is actually the point How to find your "enough number" and reverse engineer it with simple math, no finance background required The real reason a bigger price tag alone won't fix your bookings, and what has to change behind the price How standing apart as an artist makes confident pricing so much easier The throughline across every conversation: pricing isn't just a number, it's what gives you room to do your best work and get your life back Each of these women is part of TMA in some way, whether as a mentor, a featured educator, or a member who pushed through the fear and came out the other side booking better than ever.

    Building a Business That Holds: The Pricing, Positioning, and Visibility Conversations You Loved Most This Season

    It's been a hard year for a lot of photographers, and the questions keep coming back to the same place: how do you build something steady enough to weather the slow seasons? For this best-of episode, we revisited the four conversations from Season 5 that resonated most deeply with the TMA community, the ones that kept showing up in the group, on coaching calls, and in late-night DMs. Together, they paint a clear picture of what a business with strong foundations actually looks like. In This Episode: Why slow seasons are normal, necessary, and even useful, and how the photographers who stay calm are the ones still standing on the other side The mindset shift from running a hobby to running a business, and why investing in support pays you back How a clear membership structure and confident pricing can transform what a single client relationship is worth Why showing up consistently, both online and in your community, is what helps the right people find and trust you The throughline across all four conversations: artistry and strategy belong together Each of these women is part of TMA in some way, whether as a mentor, a featured educator, or a member who turned a hard year into a defining one.

    Episode 174: The Anti-Mini Session: Capturing Real Childhood with Laura Gattis

    Some of the most memorable images of childhood aren't the polished, smile-on-cue portraits. They're the unguarded, in-between moments that capture who a kid really is. In this episode, Kim sits down with TMA mentor and Tampa-based photographer Laura Gattis to talk about her signature Childhood Narrative project, and what it looks like to build an offering that's entirely your own. Topics Covered How the Childhood Narrative was born and why it's different from a mini session, heirloom session, or personality portrait Building a once-a-year signature offering that stands apart from what everyone else is shooting The art of capturing authentic connection over posed perfection Why a child mirrors the energy you bring, and how that shapes your approach behind the camera Finding creative inspiration outside the photography world Creating an offering rooted in your own style rather than chasing what's trending The long-term payoff of treating clients well and building lasting relationships Laura's approach is a reminder that the work that resonates most is the work that's truly yours. If you've ever felt the pull to create something different, this conversation will leave you inspired to lean into your own creative voice.
