Before + After Photos of The Studio at gaffincreative.com/012

Why: You should be able to pay for your studio space for at least 6 months without any sessions (or in case a global pandemic hits) so you're able to work through the first few months of getting your name out there.

Bonus Tip: Figure out how much you have to shoot in order to pay studio rent each month. (9:23)

My System in Honeybook (9:53)

1. Create a webpage for your studio rental with an inquiry form.

2. Have email templates for every scenario to gather details or send over brochures, proposals, applications, etc.

3. Send a proposal email with details and what to expect, along with a proposal that requires a 50% deposit due upon receipt and 50% due one week before rental.

4. Send a reminder email the day before their rental with a code, rules, and the address.

5. Send a feedback questionnaire and request for a google review.
