I’m on Days 2–6 of my 90-Day Find My Clients Experiment, and this week is all about research, connection, and figuring out what’s actually working.

I’m looking at where photographers are spending their time, starting conversations, preparing for client interviews, and digging into my I’m only a few days into my 90-Day Find My Clients Experiment, and I’m already uncovering some things I wasn’t expecting.

I started researching where photographers are spending their time, looking at what’s happening with my content, and reaching out to people. Then one simple comment led to an unexpected conversation — and some homework that could change what I do next.

I also took a quick look at my YouTube numbers, and what I found definitely got my attention.

Is YouTube the problem? Is it my content? Am I trying to reach photographers in the wrong place?

I don’t know yet. That’s exactly why I’m doing this experiment.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of Days 2–6 — what I tried, what happened, and what I’m doing next to figure out where my clients actually are.

Are you building your photography business… or just chasing money? There are so many ways to make money as a photographer, but saying YES to every opportunity could be costing you more than you realize.

I know because I've done it.

I've made money with my photography in different ways over the years. Some opportunities were good. Some even made me money.

But at some point, I had to ask a much bigger question:

*Am I making another sale… or am I actually building the photography business I want?*

That's what we're talking about in this episode of Capture & Connect.

If you're starting a photography business, trying to grow the one you already have, or wondering how to make money with photography without constantly jumping from one idea to another, this conversation is for you.

And stay with me until the end because I'm making a change in my own business — and I'm starting a new 90-day experiment that I'm going to share with you.

💬 LET'S TALK

Are you building the photography business you really want — or has something else pulled you in another direction?

What happens to your photography business when life suddenly forces you to stop everything?

In this Raw episode of Capture & Connect, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a very personal emergency that changed my priorities overnight when my husband nearly lost his life after being attacked by wasps.

As a photography business owner, I couldn't work. I didn't care about social media. I wasn't creating content. My focus was my husband and my family.

But parts of my business kept working.

My email list and automated email sequence continued connecting with photographers even when I couldn't show up. And when I slowly returned, I realized something else: my paying clients and the community I've built around them were where I wanted to put my energy first.

We’ll talk about:

• Why photographers need an email list instead of relying only on social media
• How automated email sequences can keep working when you can't
• Why your existing clients deserve your attention
• Cold, warm, and hot audiences and where I'm focusing right now
• How I'm using AI to help streamline parts of my photography business
• What this experience changed about the way I'm approaching my business

This isn't a polished how-to episode. It's a real behind-the-scenes conversation about entrepreneurship, priorities, clients, and building a photography business that doesn't completely depend on you showing up every single day.

If you're trying to turn your passion for photography into profit and build a business around the work you love, this one's for you.

Photography Business: Stop Thinking Like Everyone Else is for photographers who want to build a photography business without letting other people's opinions shape their decisions. If you've ever questioned your path because of what someone else said, this episode is for you.

Maybe someone told you there isn't any money in landscape photography. Maybe they said nobody buys nature photography anymore. Or maybe you've convinced yourself there's only one way to build a successful photography business.

In this episode of Capture & Connect, we're having an honest conversation about the thoughts, beliefs, and mindset that shape the direction of your photography business.

If you're ready to stop second-guessing yourself, think differently about your photography business, and start building a business around what you truly love, I think this conversation will challenge the way you see what's possible.

What if your photography business is not stuck, but growing roots?

In this episode of Capture and Connect, I’m sharing what flowers taught me about building a photography business.

This is not a flower photography tutorial. We are not talking about camera settings, macro lenses, or how to photograph flowers.

We are talking about growth, direction, patience, and what your photography business may need from you right now.

Flowers remind us that growth does not happen because we panic. Growth happens because something is cared for.

And your photography business works the same way.

If you are a landscape, nature, macro, or fine art photographer trying to turn your passion into profit, this episode will help you think about your work, your mission, and your next step with more clarity.

In this episode, we talk about:
why humans are drawn to flowers
what flower photography can teach us about business growth
why your photography business may need roots before the bloom
how to think about your mission and direction
what part of your photography business you may be watering right now
