In this episode, I’m sharing my exact strategy for consistently selling out my mini-sessions

You’ll learn:
✨ The marketing approach I take✨ How I structure my offers to encourage quick bookings (and upsells!)✨ The key mistakes that keep photographers from selling out✨ Simple shifts that make your minis more profitable and less stressful

And because mini sessions can get a little wild without clear boundaries, I’m also sharing my favorite tool that keeps it all smooth and professional - The Legal Paige’s Mini Session Contract. It covers everything from late clients, non-refundable fees, venue restrictions, no-shows, and even upselling extra images. Basically, it’s the secret to protecting your business while you focus on serving your clients.

Whether you’re gearing up for fall family minis, holiday sessions, or spring blooms, this episode will give you the confidence and clarity to launch, fill, and protect your sessions with ease and confidence!!

If you've ever wondered how the heck to get consistent referrals from planners (and not just cross your fingers and hope for the best), this episode is for YOU. 🎉

In today’s episode, I’m joined by a high-end wedding planner who’s spilling the real tea on what makes photographers referrable. We’re diving deep into what planners are actually looking for when they build their go-to vendor list, and how YOU can position yourself to be one of them.

We cover:
✨ What makes photographers stand out (and what makes them forgettable)
✨ How to build real relationships with planners (without being pushy)
✨ The surprising non-photo things planners care about most
✨ Common mistakes photographers make that kill potential referrals
✨ And how to follow up after working a wedding together

Whether you're new to networking with planners or just want to increase your referral stream, this episode gives you the exact steps to become a photographer planners want to refer.
