Luxe & Legacy Podcast

The Four Pillars of Building a Luxury Photography Brand


Listen Later

Welcome to the very first episode of Luxe & Legacy, a podcast created for motherhood photographers who are ready to rise into the luxury space with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

In this conversation, hosts Amber Courtney of Light Livin Photography and Marie Elizabeth of Marie Elizabeth Photography share the foundational pillars that transformed their own businesses—and how you can begin applying them today.

Together, they unpack:

  • Brand Identity: Why your visual presence is more than colors and logos—it’s the cohesive thumbprint that clients instantly recognize.
  • Messaging: How to communicate luxury without ever needing to say the word “luxury,” and why your words should connect to emotions over numbers.
  • Portfolio: The art of curation, filtering your work through your brand values, and showing only what you want to be hired for again.
  • Energy: The mindset and presence that separate thriving luxury brands from those still stuck in hustle mode.
  • You’ll also hear Marie and Amber’s personal journeys—the struggles, the shifts, and the practices that helped them step into alignment with their dream clients. From affirmations and journal prompts to real talk about curation and pricing, this episode offers both practical tools and deep encouragement.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You feel confident in your work, but your bookings don’t reflect the clients you dream of.
    • You’re pivoting toward the luxury market and want to build a brand that speaks for itself.
    • You’re ready to stop chasing inquiries and start attracting clients who value heirloom quality, connection, and intentional artistry.
    • Your Action Step:

      Audit your current brand touch points—your website, social media, portfolio, and client experience—and ask yourself: Does this reflect where I’m going, or only where I’ve been? Begin making small, intentional shifts that align with the brand you’re building.
