Listen Later

Fall family photography season is almost here, and if you're already bracing for the wave of inquiries, back-to-back sessions, and late-night editing marathons — this episode is your survival guide. I’m walking you through the three biggest bottlenecks that leave photographers overwhelmed every single fall… and exactly how to fix them before you hit burnout.

This one’s short and actionable, and yes — I’m absolutely inviting you to stop being the bottleneck in your own business.

Find it quickly:

00:00 — Why this episode is your fall prep wake-up call

01:18 — Bottleneck #1: Editing will eat you alive (human vs. AI)

05:22 — Bottleneck #2: You still don’t have a 5-minute booking process

08:21 — Bottleneck #3: You’re still sending every client email yourself

10:24 — Why automation still needs personality

11:14 — What the Workflow Fast Pass is (and why I built it)

13:54 — Let this fall season feel different
