Posers with Jodi Hendricks

016: The $10K Photos They’d Hang in a Museum


Listen Later

This isn’t your average “how to run a boudoir business” convo. This is a behind-the-scenes tour of a creative empire in the making.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Shannon Griffin, we get deep into the art, psychology, and bold pricing strategy that powers Shannon’s luxury boudoir brand. We’re talking $1,500 commission fees just to start… and five-figure sales for custom-designed wall art that belongs in a gallery.

You’ll hear the truth about boundaries, high-end client expectations, saying “no” more than “yes,” and how Shannon’s work changed when she stopped trying to be “just” a photographer—and claimed her place as an artist.

If you’ve ever wondered how to charge more, do less, and create actual art people will treasure for a lifetime… this is the episode.

Inside this one, we talk about:

🔥What Shannon’s luxury client process really looks like (and why most people fall off)

🔥The mental game of building a business that’s mostly “no”s

🔥How she gets $10K+ clients to say yes without ever sending a price list

🔥What it means to run a values-led, vision-first business (even when it’s terrifying)

🔥Why being the breadwinner, the visionary, and the feeler is a lot—and also totally worth it
