The Senior Studio Success Podcast with Jena Golden is all about the business of high school senior photography. I've been a photographer for 18 years now and love to teach other senior photographers how to run productive and profitable studios. As a mama to 5 boys I know how difficult it can be raise babies and a business at the same time. Over the years I learned to develop systems and strategies in the studio and at home that built the business of my dreams. I'm on a mission to help you become financially independent doing what you love through simple systems and some business and life hacks thrown in there too. I believe our businesses should fit our lives and not the other way around. If we just became best friends I hope you'll join me back here every week to dive into the business of senior photography. I can't wait to hang out with you!

118: I'm taking a break :)
I'm hitting pause on the podcast for just a little bit to rest, recover & focus on my health. So I wanted to record this episode to thank you so much for coming along for the ride with me here.
And to ask you a favor . . .
3 questions I asked during this episode that I truly value your opinion on & will determine the next steps for me are:
What do you need help with most? You can get as specific as you want to get here.
What do you value more - budget friendly, quick fixes (like short, power packed DIY courses & resources) OR longer term coaching containers?
If a longer term coaching container - what would be ideal for you - 3 months, 6 months or 12 months?
You can send me a DM over on instagram or email me at heythere@seniorstudiosuccess.com to let me know your thoughts.
So, I’m still around, just in the background a little bit. This is just a short pause & I’ll be back soon:)
Thank you for your support over the years & for being so awesome! 💗

116: On Finding Your Voice: An Interview With Tim Goates
Not sure if you need a business coach for your photography business? That's why I asked my student, Tim Goates, to sit down for an honest conversation around his experience with me as his business coach inside Studio Secrets.
Tim is a former youth pastor turned senior photographer. His passion for teens is what drives his senior photography business in North Carolina. Tim joined Studio Secrets after listening to an interview with another student so it was fitting to have him on the show!
Coming into Studio Secrets, Tim always told me "I don't like business", but he's turning the corner and has been mastering SEO & blogging! His biggest win over the last year in Studio Secrets, as he says, is finding his voice. We worked a lot on messaging, so that doesn't surprise me at all!
You're going to love Tim's story!

114: "Busy" Season Massages & Lunch Dates: An Interview With Rendy Munson
Not sure if you need a business coach for your photography business? That's why I asked my student, Rendy Munson, to sit down for an honest conversation around her experience with me as her business coach inside Studio Secrets.
Rendy is a single mom to teenage boys who runs a wonderful senior photography business in California. Coming into Studio Secrets, she immediately raised her prices and dedicated herself to rebuilding her website and implementing pre-booking consults.
Her booking rate increased dramatically and she DOUBLED her sales! All while working half as much as she did last fall. This "busy" season Rendy has had time for massages, lunch dates with friends and she's putting her health back at the top of her list too!
I can't wait for you to hear Rendy's story!
