465: Not Getting Bookings? Practical Steps to Change That Today with Ben Hartley
If your inbox has been painfully quiet and you are wondering what you are doing wrong, this episode is your wake up call in the best possible way. Evie and Lindsey sit down with industry educator and photographer Ben Hartley for a no fluff conversation about why photographers stop getting booked and what actually works to change that, complete with perfectly timed sound effects and a level of chaotic energy we did not know we needed. Ben shares how inconsistent portfolios, slow response times, and lack of visibility quietly sabotage bookings, even for incredibly talented creatives. From responding to inquiries within minutes, to building real human connection early, to showing up online more than feels comfortable, this episode breaks down the practical systems that move the needle fast. Ben also opens up about his own journey through scaling a photography business, setting boundaries, using AI and automation responsibly, and rebuilding a business that supports real life and family priorities. If you're tired of second-guessing your marketing, spinning your wheels, or wondering why your efforts aren't converting, this conversation is for you. You'll learn how to shift from hoping for bookings to intentionally creating them, especially since Ben's soundboard is right next to him, and he's not afraid to use it.
