  • #33 From Flops to Flourish: Real Talk for Momtogs

    Tired of flops and hustling without results?
    In this yap style episode, we're talking about things that didn't work and what we did to get out of the angry photographer and into the deep work that actually is getting us booked out.

    It’s not just I tried this and I am doing that.. we’re talking pivoting after failed minis, making SEO your best friend, and crafting an inquiry process that converts with today's clients (not 5 years ago).


    What you’ll learn:

    • How to turn a marketing flop into a learning moment

    • Why slow seasons are productivity gold (yes, really)

    • How blogging and SEO more than tripled website traffic

    • Why Google Ads only worked after perfecting the landing page

    • The secret sauce of our new inquiry + response system

    • Mastering client communication for Gen Z

    • The importance of niching (and why it’s freeing)

    • Going deep vs. staying flashy—and why both matter

    • Momtog Mastermind

    • Pinterest for Photographers - Jamie Tobin

    Hit play if you're a mom photographer ready to grow smarter—maybe slower, safer, strategically.
