Motherhood Anthology: Photography Education for a Business You Love

Episode 154: Creativity, Clarity & the Long Game: A Conversation with Allison Rodgers (Part Two)


Listen Later

In part two of this conversation, Kim and Allison Rodgers dive into the practical side of building a sustainable photography business. Allison shares her approach to in-person sales, how to find and keep ideal clients, and why slowing down might be the best thing you can do for your business. She also opens up about loss, creativity, and her new self-portrait project. If you've ever wondered how to charge what you're worth or felt like you're doing too much, this conversation will give you permission to do less and create more.


KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Your best advertising isn't social media. It's getting your work on your clients' walls where their friends can see it
  • What feels old to you is completely new to your clients, so don't get bored with your signature work too quickly
  • Success isn't about working harder. It's about being compensated well enough to buy back your time
  • Getting in front of the camera yourself reminds you how hard it is for your clients and makes you a better photographer
  • The fastest way to grow creatively is to create something for yourself, not just for what you think will sell
