How do I get more clients in my photography business? When should I raise my prices? Can I make enough money with photography to support my family? What are the best ways to advertise my photography business? Which business model is best for my photography business? And the most asked question of all, can I really charge more, work less, and enjoy photography on a deeper creative level? Whether you’re a newbie photographer, it’s your side hustle, or you’re a seasoned pro, this show was made for you.

The Sustainable Freedom with Photography Podcast helps photographers get out of their ruts, sticking points, and holdups, because too many have traded in their 9-to-5 jobs for 24-7 hustles. We’ll shake off those feelings of uncertainty and self-doubt to uncover the business you’ve been dreaming about—and give it the TLC it needs to thrive, without you working (or wandering) in overdrive.

Host Tracy Lynn brings you marketing and business strategies, productivity tips, inspirational stories, and hard truths, but she does it with kindness, compassion, and empathy—earning the trust of photographers all over the world. She also shares actionable advice she used to build her seven figure boudoir photography studio in Saint Louis, MO working just 30 hours a month.

Along with sharing this wealth of knowledge, she also interviews women creatives in the industry who support photographers, as well as past clients, and other photographers who’ve achieved some of their biggest goals.

    107. Overcoming Objections in Your Boudoir Photography Sales Session

    Overcoming Objections in Your Boudoir Photography Sales Session- Episode 107 of the Sustainable Freedom with Boudoir Photography Podcast with Tracy Lynn!
    Receiving pushback from clients can be emotionally challenging. Imagine spending hours capturing beautiful images and investing so much time into perfecting each image, only to have a client question the value of your work. It's gut-wrenching. It can make you feel like you didn't do your job right or like you've disappointed them. This emotional reaction is natural, but it's crucial to not let these feelings interfere with your sales process. If you get stuck in your feelings, you risk tanking the sale and undermining your confidence and professionalism.
    So, how do you navigate these challenging moments? By understanding that client objections are a normal part of the IPS process and arming yourself with strategies to address them effectively. The first step is recognizing that these objections are not personal attacks. Instead, they are opportunities to clarify, educate, and guide your clients towards making a decision that they will feel good about.
    In general, there are two main objections that photographers face during IPS sessions: "It's too expensive" and "I don't like them." Both of these objections stem from different concerns but can be equally challenging to address. Let's dive into each of these common objections and explore strategies for overcoming them.

    106. Don't Get Sued As A Boudoir Photographer...Do This.

    Don't Get Sued As A Boudoir Photographer - Episode 106 of the Sustainable Freedom with Boudoir Photography Podcast with Tracy Lynn!
    Today we're diving into a crucial topic that every boudoir photographer needs to hear: understanding legal risks and protecting your business from potential lawsuits. A little disclaimer - we are not your lawyers and this is not legal advice. Every state is different, so consult your own attorney.
     
    The reality is, while most photographers will never face the inside of a courtroom, conflicts with clients are inevitable. These conflicts can range from minor misunderstandings to significant disputes, and the key to resolving them lies in what you have agreed upon in writing.
     
    Boudoir photography involves a lot of trust and intimacy between you and your clients. With this level of intimacy and trust comes the vast potential for misunderstandings and conflicts. Whether it's about how the photos are used, what happens if a session gets canceled, or even how payment plans are managed, having clear, written agreements can make all the difference between a simple resolution and a legal nightmare.
     
    Today, we're going to break down some of the most common issues that can lead to legal trouble for boudoir photographers and how you can protect yourself. We'll cover several key areas:
    Liability Insurance - Accidents do happen, and it's essential to know how to handle them.
    Model Releases - those critical documents that allow you to use your client's images in your portfolio and marketing materials. What do you do if a client changes their mind after signing?
    Cancellations and rescheduling. Clients' plans change, emergencies happen, and you'll need a solid policy in place to manage these situations without harming your business.
    Payment plans. Offering flexible payment options can be a great way to attract more clients, but it also opens up the risk of non-payment. How can you protect yourself?
    Breach of Contract - what if you don't deliver what you promised or if a client feels that you haven't lived up to your end of the bargain?
    So, buckle up and get ready for a deep dive into these critical aspects of running a boudoir photography business. By the end of this episode, you'll have a much clearer understanding of how to protect yourself legally and ensure that your business thrives without the constant fear of getting sued.

    103. 3 Things NO ONE Will Tell You About Being a Boudoir Photographer

    3 Things NO ONE Will Tell You About Being a Boudoir Photographer - Episode 103 of the Sustainable Freedom with Boudoir Photography Podcast with Tracy Lynn!
    There are three things that no boudoir photographer will ever willingly tell you because they're too scared you'll add to the competition. But today, I'm going to spill all three. Bookmark this now, because this might change everything for you! "Boudoir photography is not just a shoot; it's an investment by your clients in themselves." Let's face it: boudoir photography is a lucrative venture. "Imagine controlling your schedule while running a profitable business. Boudoir photography makes it possible." Cherish your weekends? Boudoir photography might just be your perfect match. Most clients prefer to take a day off and shoot on the weekdays, allowing for relaxation and privacy if the shoot is a secret. "Boudoir photography is transformative. It’s about celebrating and empowering women to see their true beauty." Perhaps the most profound aspect of boudoir photography is its significant impact on a client's self-perception and confidence.
