In this episode, Joey and Christy are breaking down the most common pricing questions they get from creatives in the wedding and brand space - and their answers might flip how you think about pricing entirely.

Here’s the key: pricing is branding. What you charge signals who you are, what you're worth, and whether clients can trust you before they ever respond to your quote. Most creatives obsess over their website, their socials and their portfolio - and completely overlook that their price tag is doing just as much talking.

Ep 279 tackles the questions that trip up photographers, filmmakers, content creators and SMM’s.

Here's what's covered:

• Why cheap pricing can actually scare clients away (and what to do about it)
• How price anchoring works and why your lowest package might be costing you money
• Whether to list your pricing on your website or keep it hidden
• How to handle "can you lower your price?" on a sales call without caving
• Who should say the price first - and why the old rule is wrong

Once you understand that your price is part of your brand story, every pricing decision gets cleaner and more confident.

P.S. Round 15 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is live right now, and three weeks in, members are closing deals that would have made them nervous to quote six weeks ago. $8,500 brand deals, $5,000 pinned post packages, nearly $100K in contracted payments. Joey said it himself - nothing shifts your pricing faster than being around people who are actually doing it.

BIG UPDATE: The brand new 2026 Creativ Rise Pricing Calculator is here! As always: completely for free! If you’re a photographer, filmmaker, content creator or SMM & struggle with how to price your work - start using this tool here.

What is your pricing strategy?If it’s merely based off the photographer down the street, a low day-rate, or just going with your gut and hoping for the best - this episode (and new tool) is for you.

In this episode, Joey walks through the exact pricing framework creative entrepreneurs use to charge confidently for brand photography, wedding packages, UGC content, and social media management retainers using the Creativ Rise Pricing Calculator - which you have access to, completely for free.

Most photographers and filmmakers are undercharging - not because they lack confidence, but because they never had a real starting point. So every quote becomes a guess. You borrow a number from a competitor, hope it sounds reasonable, and spend the rest of the project wondering if you left money on the table.

This episode fixes that. Joey breaks down the math behind pricing creative services and walk through their completely rebuilt free Pricing Calculator for 2026 - a step-by-step tool built for wedding photographers, brand creatives, UGC creators, and social media managers. 👀

Here's what's covered:

• Why creative pricing anxiety is a math problem, not a mindset problem
• How to calculate your floor price before quoting any project
• The value multipliers most photographers and filmmakers skip
• How to price wedding packages, brand shoots, and SMM retainers with one framework
• How to use the free Pricing Calculator to find your number in minutes

Once your number comes from real math, quoting with confidence isn't hard anymore. Download the Creativ Rise app and open the free Pricing Calculator to put this into practice right now.

P.S. Round 15 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is live right now - two weeks in, members are already closing $7,500 brand deals, $7,400 elopement packages, and multiple four-figure projects in the same week. This is exactly what happens when pricing finally clicks. Get on the Round 16 waitlist at www.creativrise.com and be first in line when applications open. Round 16 applications launch Fall 2026!

You've probably heard the advice a hundred times: "just find clients with more money." Cool. Super helpful. But if that were all it took, you wouldn't still be sending $500 invoices.

Here's the truth nobody talks about: the size of your paycheck has almost nothing to do with the size of the company you're working with. It has everything to do with the size of the problem you're solving.

In this episode, Joey and Christy break down exactly how to make the shift from cheap clients to higher ticket clients - and the one mindset shift that unlocks scaling your creative business.

Here's what they cover:

• Why bigger paychecks come from bigger pain points - not bigger companies
• The difference between low-stakes and high-stakes content - and how to tell which one you're being hired for
• How to identify revenue-driven industries that actually have budget to spend
• Why pitching outcomes instead of deliverables is the key to closing higher-ticket deals
• How to position yourself as a problem solver - not just a content creator

Once you start chasing painful problems instead of pretty projects, everything changes - your invoices, your clients, and your confidence walking into every pitch.

P.S. This is exactly the kind of strategy we build inside the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind - helping creative entrepreneurs go from low-ticket work to running full 6-figure businesses with high-value clients.

Round 15 just kicked off with an incredible group of creatives already in motion. If you’re watching this thinking “that should’ve been me,” get yourself on the Round 16 waitlist now and be first in line when applications open. Round 16 Applications launch in August 2026!

Most creatives think the answer is just working harder. More hours, more shoots, more hustle. But if your business looks the same as it did a year ago, the problem isn't your effort — it's what you're doing with it.

In this episode, we're breaking down the real reason creative businesses stay stuck, and it has nothing to do with talent. We cover three shifts that actually move the needle — why you can't get consistent results from inconsistent marketing, why the old playbook stops working as the industry evolves, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make as a creative business owner.

If your Feb 2026 looks a lot like your Feb 2025, this one's for you.

Want to build a 6-figure business foundation with us in just 6 weeks?

Applications for Round 15 of the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind are open… and they close this Wednesday.

Round 15 starts March 15th.

If your creative business still feels like you're guessing your way through pricing, offers, marketing, and sales, this is exactly what the Mastermind was built to solve.

Inside the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind, we work with photographers, filmmakers, social media managers, and creators to install the real systems behind a six-figure creative business. The frameworks that lead to consistent $10K+ months. From structuring offers and pricing properly, to building marketing that brings the right clients in, to learning how to confidently close higher value deals.

This program has now helped 416 creative businesses, and collectively they've generated over $136M in revenue after implementing these strategies.

But what makes each round powerful isn't just the frameworks. It's the people.

Round 15 is already filling with an incredible group of creatives. Brand content teams stepping in to build stronger systems. Wedding photographers repositioning into higher-end markets. Creatives already doing $80K–$100K who want better leverage and scalability. And others who know their talent is there, but their business structure hasn't caught up yet.

We intentionally cap each round at 35 businesses so the experience stays personal, strategic, and focused on real implementation.

Once those spots are filled, applications close.

If you're ready to stop operating your business on guesswork and finally build something scalable, make sure you apply before the deadline this Wednesday.

Would you believe us if we told you you can make $13,500 in one month creating content - entirely shot on an iPhone. 👀

If you’re a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager who’s been curious about UGC but unsure how people are actually getting paid (and paid well) for it, this episode will open your brain in the best way.

In this episode, we sit down with Jessie Bull, a Whistler, Canada-based UGC creator who went from undercharging ($400/month retainers) to building clear offers, pitching smarter, and landing $1,200+ UGC video projects with notable brands.

We cover:

• What UGC actually is (and why it’s not the same thing as being an influencer)
• How Jessie built a $14k month through packages, retainers, and better pitching
• Why iPhone content is outperforming “high production” ads in 2026
• How to get out of the free product zone and start landing paid work
• How to raise your rates with long-term clients without it getting weird

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the six business decisions that took us from guessing our way through freelance work… to building multiple six-figure creative businesses as photographers, filmmakers and brand builders.

These aren’t “work harder” tactics. These are real decisions we made inside these areas of business:

• Offers & Pricing
• Branding
• Networking
• Marketing
• Sales
• Scaling

From turning a $3,000 video into a $20,000 solution…

To holding our ground on a $65,000 deal…

To learning that what you call yourself determines who hires you…

Each of these moments reshaped how we operate as business owners.

And they’re decisions you can make too.

If you’re tired of inconsistent income, unclear positioning, or feeling like you’re working harder without real momentum — this episode will give you real life decisions you can copy to think differently about your creative business.

And if you’re ready to build these 6 pillars the right way - Applications for Round 15 of the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind are now open. As normal, a ton of the spots got taken right away by the waitlist.

Here’s what we help you implement each week:

Week 1: Bulletproofing Your Offers & PricingWeek 2: Mastering Your Brand StrategyWeek 3: Building A Profitable NetworkWeek 4: Building Out The Get Booked Marketing SystemWeek 5: 6 Figure Sales StrategyWeek 6: The 6 Figure Scale Plan For Your Time, Money & Systems

Christy and Joey will personally coach and guide you through all 6 pillars so you can build your own 6 figure business foundation - and it’s done alongside 34 other businesses. We are all in on tight community at Creativ Rise.

What if the only thing standing between you and a 6 figure year was 400 cold calls?

In this episode, we sit down with George and Jack of Agrippa Creatives, a brand strategy and filmmaking duo who launched their agency in mid-2025 and built predictable retainer revenue in just six months.

Before the Mastermind, there was no real structure - just stacking $500 projects to stay busy but never stable.

After? They built $3,500 monthly retainers, a $9,000 premium offer, and backend systems that finally made revenue predictable.

And yes… it started with 400 cold calls.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The “minimum level of engagement” that transformed their pricing

• Why stacking small projects quietly stalls growth

• How to move from one-off gigs into recurring retainers

• The structure that makes scaling sustainable

• The shift from “what can we charge?” to “what makes this partnership effective?”

Six months ago, $50K this year felt like a stretch.

Now they’re projecting $200K+ in year one.

From getting laid off right before Christmas to making $200K in her first full-time year as a wedding photographer, this episode with Kenna Hiskey proves how fast things can change when you fully commit.

Kenna breaks down what actually shifted between “side hustle” and a multiple six-figure, sustainable wedding business — from pricing and positioning to systems that allowed her to grow without burning out.

In this episode, we chat about:

• How Kenna hit $200K in her first full-time year as a wedding photographer
• The pricing shifts that took her from $2K weddings to $6K and $10K+ bookings
• How she attracted a higher-end client and stopped booking misaligned couples
• Her simple Instagram strategy for consistent inquiries (including when she boosts posts)
• How to define your “ideal bride” so your marketing pulls the right people in
• Why reposting wedding content is a cheat code most photographers ignore
• Hiring her first assistant, what she delegated first, and how she justified the cost
• The behind-the-scenes systems she’s building to stabilize and refine her business
• Her experience inside the Mastermind and how it accelerated her growth

If you’re in the early stage where you know you have the talent but you’re still figuring out pricing, consistent inquiries, and how to book higher-end weddings, this episode gives a clear picture of what scaling fast without losing yourself actually looks like.
