Profitable Photographer

279: Jen Hargrove: How To Use Photo Competitions to Grow Your Business


Listen Later

Here we go again...another great guest and conversation on The Profitable Photographer with Luci Dumas! I’m so excited to introduce you to Jen Hargrove, an award-winning fine art photographer specializing in character portraits, pets, children, and abstract waterscapes. With 12 years under her belt, Jen’s earned titles like Master Photographer and Certified Professional Photographer.


Jen share some eye opening practices that have helped her business success grow through print competitions, and she’s mastered the art of turning mini-sessions into high-profit opportunities. And guess what? These mini- sessions are primarily of men transformed into unique characters like soldiers, firemen, or sea captains. Wives and mothers love these!


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Keepsake Sessions: How Jen markets these unique sessions to her clients , turning them into characters like soldiers or sea captains. 
  • Making Personal Art Pay: Jen’s strategy for selling her art through boutiques, Etsy, and galleries. 
  • Delegating Sales: Why letting go of sales was the best move for her business. 
  • Giving Back to Photographers: Jen’s passion for helping fellow photographers and why teaching others is important to her. 


Final thought is that our industry is not saturated. Don’t be afraid to teach others but stay in your lane. She wants to see everybody giving back to other photographers.


AND she has arranged a contest with Miller’s Color Lab.
