    • Marketing

As photographers, we engage with our clients visually. So when it’s time to write new website copy, a social post, or even an email, it can feel super intimidating to translate your thoughts into written words. With the right tools, though, you can connect with your audience, attract your dream clients, and grow your business.
In this episode, I’m chatting with copywriter and copywriting educator Ashlyn Carter about engaging with and converting your dream photography clients. Ashlyn is explaining why copy is so important, even for those of us in more visual pursuits. She’s sharing her process for discovering your brand voice and how you can use your clients’ own words to convert them. Plus, we’re talking about finding inspiration without copying other creatives.
