The Six Figure Photography Podcast With Ben Hartley

SFPP 288: Being the Artist and the Business Owner with Summer Grace


Listen Later

In this episode of The Six Figure Photography Podcast, Ben Hartley and Noella Andres sit down with the wildly creative and unapologetically strategic Summer Grace—an editorial wedding photographer and educator whose work blends soulful storytelling with savvy systems.

Summer dives into her journey from photographing friends in high school to building a thriving, high-end photography business—all while staying true to her artistry. She shares how she prioritized structure from day one, why she believes systems fuel creativity, and how she confidently stepped into premium pricing early in her career.

We explore:

  • Why Summer treated her business like a business from the beginning
  • Her exact approach to pricing (hint: it wasn’t $400 weddings)
  • The multiple-camera setup she uses—including her love for film
  • How she’s stayed creatively fulfilled and never burnt out
  • What it means to build a brand that reflects you, not just a niche
  • This episode is packed with permission, mindset shifts, and tangible insight for any photographer who wants to scale their business without compromising their creative voice.
