THE BIG IDEAS

• Your Style Is Unique—And Built Over Time: Take lots of photos to let your authentic style naturally emerge and evolve, rather than imitating trends or others.
• Focus Deeply on One Thing: Narrow your specialty to become the go-to photographer for a specific subject or community, making you memorable and in demand.
• Charge What You’re Worth: Believe in the value you provide; higher pricing reflects confidence and enables you to deliver a better experience to clients who respect your work. 
• Genuine Care Creates Connection: Prioritize personal relationships with clients, investing attention and empathy, so people remember and recommend you.
