Business & Sales Courses

If you want higher sales as a portrait photographer, you have to be priced correctly and offer a higher level of service. Often this business model is referred to as the Boutique Studio.

I believe in personally serving your client, meeting one-on-one and helping them with their needs. There is never any high-pressure sales or tactics used.

Before we get to our sales appointment, we need awesome and irresistible images, and a clean and artistic workflow. At that point we’re ready to meet with our client in person to show them what we’ve produced. That’s what these next courses are here to teach you and help you with.

I recommend going through these courses in this order.


1. Psychology of Pricing for High-End Portrait Photographers (~2 hours of instruction)

This course is for professional photographers who want to produce higher end work and want to get paid appropriately for it. Because proper pricing is foundational to better sales, this course on the Psychology of Pricing is a great place to start in my business courses. It’s nearly 2 hours of great content to help you understand how to price your work higher to better appeal to your clients on a psychological and subconscious level.

Delve in and learn what to say to separate yourself from others and get high-end sales. Learn to overcome objections like price without being a jerk or without using scripts or tacky “sales tactics.”

5. Pricing Digital and 5 Reasons Why Digital Costs More

I am constantly asked how to price digital images. Even if you’re a photographer that sells finished prints, there is a need to know how to price digital images. For instance when a band needs an image for their new album cover, a real-estate agent needs a photograph for his/her website and business cards, or a business needs a digital file for their online presence.

Even though it is better to sell and provide a finished product whenever possible, sometimes there is a need to sell a digital file, which means there is a need for knowing how to price these images.
