Milestones to Hit Before Going Full-Time as a Portrait Photographer

Listen Later

Thinking about making the leap to full-time photography? This episode is for you. Marie and Amber get real about what it actually takes, and spoiler: the hardest milestones aren't the practical ones.

They break down the key milestones you need to hit before going full-time, including the mindset shifts that don't get talked about enough.

In this episode:

  • Why committing before you feel ready is the very first (and hardest) step
  • The identity shift that comes with leaving another career behind... and how to grieve it
  • How to set profitable pricing and actually know your minimum
  • Why coaching and masterminds move the needle in ways online courses can't
  • Getting your business structure legit: LLCs, S corps, accountants, and health insurance
  • Booking consistently for 3-4 months before making the leap
  • How memberships and repeat clients create stability and predictability
  • Why saving 4-6 months of income keeps you out of scarcity mode
