We’ve all had a moment where we arrived at the grocery store and can’t remember passing any of the stoplights along the way. We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with. Nora McInerny hosts The Head Start: Embracing the Journey, a new podcast from iHeartRadio and AbbVie, a space to share open and honest conversations acknowledging the struggles we all face, while leaning into the hope and optimism we all share. We’ll hear from doctors, experts, and everyday people who will be sharing their experiences, migraine coping strategies, and major wins, all while building a community of support around an invisible disease that makes every day uncertain: Chronic Migraine.

I consider myself a systems and workflow fanatic. Whether it's a system or a piece of tech, I geek out about tools that help us optimizing and streamline our workflows, not just because I've experienced firsthand how those tools can make or break you in business, but because it genuinely brings me joy to watch people get hours (days! weeks!!!) of their year back by investing in the few hours it takes to get a new set up and running.
That's what tools are supposed to do, after all: allow us to optimize our businesses, serve more clients, and at the same time find that elusive work-life balance we all want. And the tool we're discussing on the show today does EXACTLY that.
I'm chatting with Noella Andres from Imagen AI. Imagen AI is helping photographers find more freedom by doing the heavy lifting on culling and editing so we're free to focus on the areas that really matter when it comes to customer service and growth.

317 - The 3 Offers Every Photographer Needs 10:54

۳ روز پیش10:54

10:54

Most photographers build their businesses around one signature offer—and that’s a great place to start. But if that’s the only offer on your menu, your business may be more fragile than you think. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the three types of offers every photography business should have: your core offer (aka your bread and butter), an entry offer (for those not quite ready to go all-in), and an expansion offer (for the people who already love you and want more). When these three work together, you create a flexible, sustainable system that supports both your income and your clients. If you’ve been stuck in a one-offer cycle, this episode will help you expand your offer suite in a way that’s aligned, strategic, and surprisingly simple. Resources: New to the podcast?

316 - Why Your Website Isn’t Converting (and How to Fix It) with Caitlin Teixeira 36:39

10 روز پیش36:39

36:39

Your website might look great—but is it actually doing the work of turning curious browsers into paying clients? In this week’s episode, I’m joined by web designer and strategist Caitlin Teixeira (aka Catie Means Business), the mastermind behind my current website and one of the most insightful, strategic creatives I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Caitlin shares why a website isn’t just a digital business card—it’s a credibility engine, a trust builder, and a strategic tool that should help you reach specific goals depending on your business model. We talk about how service providers, digital educators, and nonprofits all need different kinds of websites, and why just cobbling together ideas from other people's sites can actually hurt your conversions. Plus, Caitlin breaks down what she calls “credibility boosters” and “credibility blockers” and how stacking the right ones makes the difference between a warm lead and a lost visitor. If you’re wondering why your site isn’t converting or looking to upgrade your client experience online, this one’s packed with clarity and actionable insights.

315 - Setting Boundaries Without Losing Clients 7:03

17 روز پیش7:03

7:03

If you’ve ever said yes to a last-minute request you didn’t really have time for, or delivered more than you promised because you were afraid of disappointing someone, this one’s for you. In this short solo episode, I’m talking about boundaries: not just as a form of self-protection, but as a powerful way to communicate your brand, serve your clients well, and build trust in your process. Saying no can be hard, but boundaries create clarity. And clarity builds trust. We’re digging into why boundaries are not the enemy of a great client experience, how to set and hold boundaries with confidence, and how to make them part of your systems so you don’t have to scramble every time someone pushes the line.

314 - Grow Your Photography Business with Blogging with Kate Wark 31:25

24 روز پیش31:25

31:25

We’re constantly told that blogging is great for SEO, but most photographers still aren’t doing it. Why? Because it feels like a heavy lift for an uncertain payoff (not to mention it's hard to know what to say)! This week, I’m joined by photographer and PR pro Kate Wark, who not only understands the power of blogging from a strategic perspective but actually ghostwrites blogs for other creatives. She’s sharing practical tips, mindset shifts, and tangible topic ideas to help you get started (or get consistent) with blogging in a way that works for you. We talk about how blogging builds credibility with clients, how to find your voice (or work with someone else to write in it), and why blogging can be one of the hardest-working pieces of your long-term marketing strategy... even beyond SEO. If blogging’s been sitting on your 'someday' list, this episode will get you fired up to finally make it happen. LINKS: Follow Kate on Instagram Visit Kate’s website Join The Consistency Club!

313 - 3 Pricing Mindsets Required for Success 21:24

۴ weeks پیش21:24

21:24

You’ve done the math. You know what your cost of doing business is. You’ve looked at what other photographers in your market are charging. So why does pricing your work still feel so complicated ? This week I’m getting into the real reasons pricing can feel so hard. I’ll walk you through three key mindset shifts that every photographer needs to make in order to price their work confidently, communicate that value clearly, and stop tying their self-worth to their price tag. We’ll talk about what’s really happening when someone says you’re too expensive, how the way you present your pricing matters just as much as the number itself, and why detaching your identity from your price is crucial for long-term success. If pricing still makes you sweat a little, this episode will help you shift from second-guessing to standing tall.

We all love the idea of a business that grows effortlessly through word of mouth....but that kind of growth doesn’t come from luck—it comes from delivering a client experience that’s SO good, people can’t stop talking about it. In this episode, I’m joined by photographer and educator Natasha Sewell, who’s built a thriving, referral-based business by getting super intentional about how she connects with clients—before, during, and after the session. Natasha's strategies go way beyond what most people consider good customer service without sliding into weird or expensive territory. In our conversation she shares specific, creative, and totally doable ways to improve your client journey, from captivating redirect pages and offbeat session prep ideas to ongoing relationship-building long after the photos have been delivered. Whether your calendar is full or you’re trying to attract more of the right people, this episode will help you take your client experience to the next level—and build a business people rave about.

311 - Your Marketing Credit Score 12:47

۶ weeks پیش12:47

12:47

Marketing isn’t just about getting seen—it’s about building trust. And building trust, as it turns out, is a lot like building your credit score.... Clients are constantly (and often unconsciously) evaluating whether they trust you enough to book with you. It’s not exactly a number they can look up, but the signals you’re sending through your website, social media, pricing, and consistency are all part of the equation. Think of it like a business version of a credit score. It builds slowly, gets stronger over time, and—when done right—makes everything in your business easier. In this episode, I’ll walk you through the five key areas that shape your “trust score" ... I'll give you tools to build deeper confidence with every interaction, plus teach you how to recognize where things might be slipping, and what you can do to boost that score in simple, consistent ways.
