Perhaps it’s because they weren’t the ones to plan the session and are likely the ones that will be most concerned about the bill. Maybe it’s because their wife has been ordering $3M worth of clothing over the last month and stressing about every detail involved with the photo shoot.

Today’s guest is proof-positive that that is a myth. I’ve noticed that portrait photographers, in particular, are creative individuals and most are overwhelmingly kind and sensitive. Trying to always be “nice” can set us up to be taken advantage of when trying to run a business.

Think Capsule Wardrobe: less pieces of clothing that are higher quality (and more expensive). Every piece fits you perfectly and works together with all the others to make multiple great outfits (a system) vs. a closet full of TJ Maxx pieces purchased because they were “on sale.” You end up with “a lot” of clothes that kind of fit, don’t necessarily go together and, let’s be honest, some of them still have the tags on them.

So, if the goal is to serve, not sabotage, where do we go wrong? Sometimes the products we offer to our clients are unintentionally sabotaging our brand and our bottom line.

Too often, in these painful moments, we find ourselves responding from a place of fear.
