In this episode, I’m sharing a very honest look at what real growth has required of me as a business owner, and why staying comfortable has never been the thing that moved me forward.

I talk about the reality of investing in education that feels intimidating, the experience of sitting in rooms where I’m still learning the language, and why some of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned have come from spaces outside of the photography industry.

We explore the importance of staying open-minded as you grow, how exposure to different perspectives can strengthen your business, and why learning doesn’t always come from places that feel familiar or immediately validating.

I also break down a concept that deeply shifted the way I think about sustainability in photography: Lifetime Value of a Client versus Cost of Acquisition.

Inside this conversation, you’ll hear about:
• why a busy calendar doesn’t always equal a stable business
• how understanding your numbers can reduce panic during slow seasons
• why deepening client relationships often matters more than finding new ones
• how small structural changes can create long-term resilience
• what it means to build a business that supports both your life and your family

This episode is for photographers who are curious about growing with intention, who want to make decisions based on clarity instead of urgency, and who are ready to think a little differently about what success can look like.

If you find yourself nodding along as you listen, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

The doors to The Mastermind close in two days, and this episode offers a glimpse into the kind of conversations we have inside that room.

This isn't IPS, it's her ugly step-sister that shows up for family dinners ready to start some shit.

And if you’re running this pricing model, it’s likely costing you far more than simply dealing with a toxic family dinner.

In this episode, I’m breaking down a pricing model that’s often labeled “IPS-ish,” “simpler,” or “more client-friendly,” and explaining why it quietly strips away the very things that make IPS work in the first place. On the surface, it looks modern and efficient. Underneath, it removes urgency, emotional momentum, and leadership at the exact moment your client needs it most.

I share a real conversation with a client that stopped me in my tracks and perfectly illustrates what happens when photographers hand decision-making back to clients instead of guiding them through it.

This is not about talent or effort. It’s about what happens when a system forces clients to choose alone, under restriction, and without context.

We talk about the psychology behind how people actually make decisions, why emotion has to lead the buying process, and what goes wrong when logic is introduced too early. I also explain why galleries get abandoned, why clients freeze instead of finishing orders, and why this model feels easier but produces smaller, quieter results.

This episode is not about shaming photographers. It’s about calling out bad education and raising the standard of what we teach as “luxury.” Because when a system fails this consistently, it’s not the photographers who are the problem.

If you’ve ever felt capped even when your work is strong, or wondered why your pricing feels harder to sell than it should, this episode will connect dots you may not have realized were related.

At the time I’m recording this, there are two spots left inside the POSERS Mastermind. If this conversation feels uncomfortably familiar, that’s not an accident. The link to apply is RIGHT HERE... or the link to the waitlist for the next round of the mastermind is RIGHT HERE.

Either way, not pressing play on this episode is more dangerous than you might think.

This episode is not a pricing conversation. It is a demand for better education.

I am breaking down one of the most widely taught IPS pricing structures in the photography industry, the sliding-scale discount model, and explaining why it is actively undermining photographers while being sold as “luxury” and “value-based.” This model is not misunderstood. It is structurally unsound. And it is being taught without anyone running it through real luxury-buying psychology.

In this episode, I dismantle the belief that discounting digitals incentivizes products.

Using math, consumer psychology, and luxury brand behavior, I explain how this structure penalizes photographers for selling well, trains clients to shop for thresholds instead of value, and devalues the only irreplaceable asset in a photography business: the digital images.

I address the damage done by labeling “digital-only” clients as a problem, when in reality the problem is a pricing system rooted in fear, people-pleasing, and outdated assumptions. Selling an entire gallery for a few hundred dollars is structural sabotage that guarantees income caps, resentment, and constant self-negotiation.

I draw direct parallels between photography pricing and true luxury markets, referencing brands like Hermès and Dior to illustrate the difference between bargain psychology and investment psychology.

I also break down the Veblen effect and use Chanel’s recent price increases to show how luxury brands protect their icons instead of discounting them.

This episode reframes digital images as what they actually are: intellectual property, currency, and the foundation of a sustainable business.

Physical products are not the hero. They are the expansion. When that hierarchy is reversed, the business eventually breaks.

This is part one of a two-part series. Next week, I am breaking down a pricing system that is even more damaging than the sliding-scale discount model, and why continuing to ignore these foundations costs photographers far more than money.

At the time I am recording this episode, there are two spots left inside the POSERS Mastermind.
If this episode feels like I'm speaking straight to you, that is the point. The link to book a call is in the show notes.

We’re kicking off the year by burning the planner, canceling the checklist, and telling the truth about why resolutions fail most people by March.

In this episode, I unpack why goals often collapse under pressure, why doing more is rarely the answer, and why so many photographers build beautiful businesses that still quietly suffocate them. We talk about capacity. Nervous systems.

The difference between decorating the box you’re in versus asking if the box is even big enough for the life you say you want.

I share the metaphor that rearranged my brain this year, why my word for 2026 is expansion, and the uncomfortable reality that growth does not come from adding more habits, offers, or hustle. It comes from being willing to put something down. Time. Energy. Distractions. And yes, sometimes even Bravo.

This episode is for the high-achieving woman who is already doing a lot, already trying hard, already successful on paper, but knows deep down that something is still capping her financially, creatively, or emotionally.

If someone were watching a TV show of your life, what would they be screaming at the screen for you to change? That question alone might be the key to everything.

No resolutions. No hustle sermons. Just an honest conversation about space, capacity, desire, and what it actually takes to expand into the life you keep saying you want.

Welcome to the first episode of the year.

Let’s make it count.

Being bold is great, but what does it actually look like in action? Today, we are re-airing a juicy episode from March where we talked about the power of creating your own demand and stepping out of the red ocean of competition into a blue ocean where you’re completely unmatched.

Most photographers struggle to stand out because they’re unknowingly blending in—offering the same styles, using the same marketing tactics, and getting stuck in the same price wars. But when you take control of your positioning, lean into what makes you different, and own your worth, you stop chasing clients and start attracting them.

So, let’s talk about how to do that—practically, strategically, and without all the vague, fluffy advice that leads nowhere.

In this episode, we cover:
🔥 Why most photographers struggle to book their dream clients—and how to fix it
🔥 The concept of red ocean vs. blue ocean and why competing is a trap
🔥 A practical exercise to plot out your market positioning and uncover your unique advantage
🔥 How to use pricing, niche, branding, and authority to create demand instead of chasing it
🔥 The biggest mistakes that keep photographers stuck in the noise
🔥 My personal journey of stepping out of the wedding industry and redefining my business
🔥 A challenge for you: Identify your own blue ocean and make bold, strategic moves

Before I touch a planner.
Before I set a single goal.
Before I decide who I’m going to be in 2026…

I’m pausing.

This episode isn’t about motivation or manifestation.
It’s about purging and elimination.

I’m closing out 2025 with my biggest revenue year ever — over half a million dollars — and I’m talking about the part no one glamorizes. The pressure of a massive Q4. The mental whiplash that comes with success. The moments where ambition quietly turned into overextension.

This is a raw end-of-year reflection on what worked, what didn’t, and what I’m no longer willing to drag into a new year just because it helped me hit a number.

Before January resolutions, I’m starting somewhere else:
Elimination.

What has to go before anything new can actually work?

If you’ve ever ended a “successful” year feeling heavy…
If you’ve hit goals and still felt unsettled…
If you know something didn’t work but haven’t slowed down long enough to name it…

This episode is for you.

Because I don’t get to dream about 2026 until I purge what didn’t serve me in 2025.

Welcome to The Purge.

This episode starts with a dusty studio, a Facebook Marketplace obsession, and a table that required a full-body commitment and questionable parenting choices to acquire. But this isn’t a story about furniture. It’s about what happens when you intentionally design the spaces where decisions are made and money changes hands.

Inside this episode, Jodi pulls back the curtain on what she’s been seeing after deeply auditing photographers’ websites and portfolios, not skimming, not scrolling, but experiencing them the way real clients do. What she found was consistent, costly, and quietly sabotaging bookings.

She breaks down why most photographers are unknowingly building decision-making environments that create hesitation instead of trust, confusion instead of clarity, and chaos instead of confidence. From unclear positioning to bloated portfolios, overstimulating design, missing process, and the biggest red flag of all, no email capture or funnel.
This conversation reframes your website as what it actually is: a business meeting that happens without you in the room.

If your inquiries feel unpredictable, your pricing conversations feel heavy, or your bookings feel like luck instead of momentum, this episode will change how you see your brand, your site, and the environments you’re inviting clients into.

This isn’t about trends.

It’s about foundations.

And building spaces that are ready to receive money.

Press play.

This week’s episode opens with a moment I’ve had circled on my mental calendar all season: hitting two hundred and two thousand dollars in my fall schedule. It was one of those “holy shit, look what we did” moments paired with the immediate realization that strategy and psychology—not luck—got us here.

From there, we dive into something every photographer needs to understand: the Sunken Cost Fallacy. It sounds academic, but trust me, it’s running half your business decisions without you even noticing. This pattern is the reason so many women stay loyal to pricing that hasn’t worked in years, systems that drain them, or marketing strategies they outgrew three rebrands ago. All because they “already invested in it.”

Inside this episode, we unpack what the Sunken Cost Fallacy actually looks like in real life and how subtly it can keep your business capped at the same income year after year. And no, this isn’t a lecture. There are stories, examples, a little tough love, and a few moments that may feel uncomfortably accurate… in the best way.

You’ll also get a look at what intentional pivoting looks like behind the scenes. Not burning your business down at 2 a.m. Not reinventing the wheel every season. Actual strategic shifts that open the door to more income, more clarity, and more authority.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge that something in your business needs to evolve, but you’re not sure what, this episode is going to feel like someone finally naming the thing you couldn’t quite articulate.

Consider it your sign.

This episode breaks down the moment I realized how much money I’ve been stepping over in my business without even noticing. When you stop operating like a photographer and start operating like a business owner, you begin to see every crack, every leak, and every missed opportunity that was right in front of you.

I talk through two major examples from this month that made this painfully clear:
How a $30K wedding pulled me out of retirement and confirmed how much I left on the table as a wedding photographer by not incorporating IPS into my process.

How my PASS galleries brought in $4,492 this month without me doing anything, simply because the systems were already in place.

I also share the ways I’m tightening my business for next year, including finally monetizing wardrobe styling and building affiliate income around the work I’m already doing.

The message is simple:
Once you see the money, you can’t unsee it.
And once you start thinking like a CEO, you stop leaving it on the table.
