Are you wondering if it’s time to start charging for photography, or even launch your business officially? This episode breaks down what actually makes you ready to start charging, legally and professionally.

We’re not talking vibes or follower count. We’re talking about the real stuff that matters: insurance, consistency, systems, and whether you're set up to deliver at a professional level.

Inside the episode, we walk you through:

✔️ The three-part readiness test to know if you're good to go

✔️ The legal + financial foundation you must have before taking a dime

✔️ What counts as a "professional" portfolio and what doesn’t

✔️ Why being ready to charge isn't just about your photos

✔️ The backend systems that make you look like a pro (even before you feel like one)

Whether you're brand new or have been dabbling for years, this episode will give you the grounded clarity you need to take the next step, without second-guessing.
