THE BIG IDEAS

Rethink Your Value: Focus on delivering a full-service experience, not just cheap photos. Clients value memorable connections and quality, even in short sessions.
Build Relationships Over Transactions: Meaningful connections with clients and local partners will sustain and grow your business beyond digital ads and quick sales.
Lean Into Simplicity: A clear, repeatable system makes booking and delivering mini sessions efficient and stress-free, leaving room for creativity and freedom.
Be Willing to Pivot: Embrace flexibility—whether in business strategy or personal life—to turn challenges into major opportunities for growth and adventure.
