The Work Between: The Business of Photography

The 5 Fall Mistakes That Cost Photographers Thousands


Listen Later

Fall is the busiest season for most photographers—but that doesn’t mean it’s the most profitable. In this episode of The Work Between, we’re unpacking the five most common Fall mistakes that cost photographers thousands. From unnecessary discounts to overbooking, underpricing minis, and not charging for rushes or weekends, these are the pitfalls we’ve seen (and made) ourselves. You’ll walk away knowing exactly what to shift—no matter where you’re at in the season—so you can protect your peace and your profit. Whether you’re just starting out or already fully booked, this one’s for you.

 

What We Cover:

 

The difference between being busy and being profitable

 

How one small mistake can snowball into burnout

 

What to do when you’re already full (but still getting inquiries)

 

How to fix Fall, even if you’ve already made a few of these mistakes

 

The tools we use to course-correct mid-season
