184 - Get your sparkle pants on. This episode is going to be a doozy. 

There are few pet photographers who don't know who Kaylee Greer is. The brilliantly creative mastermind behind Dog Breath Photography and the author of Dogtography, Kaylee's energy is 24-7 overflowing and infectious. 

 

Listen to this woman giggle and your day instantly gets better. 

 

Here's the thing, though: She has struggled with her business – pricing, setting boundaries, comparing to the competition, all the things! -- just like you have. Er … just like we have.  

 

That's right. We. Because I've been through it all, too. 

 

Both Kaylee and I understand the complications of believing in yourself and launching your pet photography business. We get it. 

 

So, today we're bringing you the top five biggest mistakes we both made when we were starting out.   

 

What to listen for 

9:17 Kaylee shares all the details about Shutterhound: The Conference 

28:03 Why it's important to set clear boundaries in your business 

35:17 You aren't too expensive. You offer a premium service. 

43:43 Why not every inquiry is your ideal client 

54:36 Look beyond pet photography for inspiration 

 

I think we all know that success doesn't come without its fair share of mistakes and lessons learned. By sharing our mistakes, Kaylee and I hope we can help you either avoid them or overcome them if you're already experiencing the same struggle. 

 

And P.S. don't miss the early bird pricing for the Shutterhound conference in Las Vegas, Sept. 5-6. It is going to be magical. I'll be there with my sparkle pants and I'm throwing out my old presentations to bring you ALL NEW stuff.
