A lot of senior photographers want to run prom sessions but have no idea where to start, so this blog is going to help you get some clarity on this!

Prom mini sessions can be a GREAT way to get lots of organic marketing for your senior business, so I do encourage you to consider doing them.

This is the way I MOSTLY run my prom sessions...

PROM DAY: 

• Back to back time slots all day on prom day - usually 20 minutes eah
• Usually shoot 20-30 couples
• Flat fee per couple and my rep team gets a discount
• 3 couples per time slot
• Makeup and hair is NOT included

INCLUDES DIGITALS:

• I include 5 digital images (sized for 4x6) for regular clients and non-clients; my Rep Team gets 10
• They can purchase more digital files if they like, along with prints
• Only keep the gallery online for a very limited time - and set it so that anyone who registers will get an email reminder when the gallery is about to expire

DELIVERY OF IMAGES:

I like to get Prom images done ASAP … I’ve even del...

Are YOU ready to step into the role of CEO in your biz? 

I mean like seriously - are you ready to finally nail this strategy down once and for all and tackle all the blocks that come up as a result of doing this work?  

Oh yeah, there will be blocks - that's what happens any time you redirect, reframe or rewire underlying limiting beliefs. They'll rear their ugly heads up and try to stop you from moving forward.  

"Why would I self-sabotage like this, Renee?"  I know - I can hear you asking this, friend. 

Well, you're not doing it on purpose, of course.  You're over here actually trying to make some real changes in your biz - and you should pat yourself on the back for that! 

The truth is that the stronger the desire to change, and the more you take action on that - the louder and more intense that sabotaging voice can be!  

It's your unconscious mind trying to keep you safe - that's it.  All that "fear" people talk about (fear of stepping into their awesomeness, fear of raising ...

       Where's the lie?  😜

It's all fun and games until you have to figure out how to make a living at it, am I right?

Trust me, I have made my fair share of business mistakes…. 

• giving away all the digitals or charging VERY little for them
• shooting for free
• starting a model team with NON-ideal clients
• spending HOURS editing ONE session
• asking other amateur photographers how to shoot, post and edit

I got to the point where I wanted to burn it ALL DOWN.

I mean, I was making like $2/hour when averaged out!

I started with NO money,  NO training,  NO clarity.   100% bootstrapped 

And now I make over 200k/year 

The truth is that most photographers do NOT know how to run a business.

Heck, MOST photographers feel sick to their stomach just thinking about charging actual money for their work. 

Can you relate?

I want you to hear me when I say that you deserve to have a thriving business and a balanced life.

Nobody other than YOU should be calling the sh...

Here’s your unsolicited 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 that you don’t have to have it all figured out right now ⁣

I know it feels like you 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 ⁣because you’ve been on social media a lot today and you’re feeling ⁣

1. NONE of us have it figured out ⁣

Anyone who tells you they’re 100% on all the time - or that they live in flow 24/7 is either on a really amazing psychedelic or they’re lying 😅⁣

I had to claw my way to the business I have; it was NOT easy ⁣

I had 3 littles to raise & a dream of my own photography biz that would afford me freedom + money to be there for them ⁣

Did I have help? ⁣

Yep - but I had to 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 to seek it, 𝙥𝙖𝙮 for it & then 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 it ⁣
