This topic is another heavily discussed topic and can even get heated in some circles. No photographer wants to bring down the industry by charging too little, but when you're just starting out, no one knows how much to charge. 

We want to help ease your mind by talking through some responses we received to this question in our Facebook group.

Outsourcing your editing isn't just for the big time photographers. By having the right workflows in place, any photographer can add an editor to their team.

Jennifer Kaiser is a private editor who is sharing her tips for getting ready to outsource regardless of how many weddings you shoot. There's a good bit of work to do on the front end, but once you start outsourcing, you won't likely go back!

Many photographers start off saying yes to any and every inquiry that comes their way. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, there comes a point when not everyone can be your ideal client. Tiffany Wayne is sharing her journey to full-time wedding photography and how she began narrowing down her favorite clients by using her gut and communication style.

It takes time and a few not-so-ideal clients to help you determine your ideal qualities, but don't give up! Once you start saying yes to more and more of the right ones, the more you'll love the clients you work with and the referrals coming your way.

These three little letters can drum up a ton of controversy in the photography world and for good reason. However, we don't think you can go wrong either being a IPS or shoot-and-share photographer. 

We believe there's one key factor that gets left out of the IPS discussion on a regular bases, so we've brought it to you in this episode.

You need to make sure your website is safe and secure. But have you stopped to consider the other areas of your business that need protecting? For Kara Kamienski, the first thing that took a hit after her website was her Facebook page.
