In today's episode (164) of the EAT, CAPTURE, SHARE podcast, you'll be listening in on another creative business mentoring session. I’m working one-on-one with Kerri — a food photographer and recipe developer at the very start of her career – to explore ways of monetising her content and finding paying food photography clients. If you're unsure how to get your food photography business off the ground, or feel lost when it comes to marketing your food photography or food content creation services, then this episode is for you!

Here's what else you can expect from today's episode...

• We dive into smart, sustainable ways Kerri can show up on social media consistently and build a thriving food content creation business — while still being fully present as a parent.
• I reveal the one crucial area of your food photography business to prioritise if monetisation is your #1 goal.
• We talk through simple yet powerful tweaks to optimise your blog or website so it naturally attracts high-quality, paying clients.
• We dig into what it really means to 10x your main marketing strategy — and why it’s a non-negotiable move if you want lasting financial success.
• I explain why delegating too early could slow your growth — and how to know exactly when to bring others on board.
• We explore how mastering the art of pitching can completely shift your trajectory as a food photographer.
• I share how to turn “free work” into real, paid opportunities.
• Kerri opens up vulnerably as we unpack the real blocks holding her back from monetising her creative work.
