269 - Raise your hand if you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of setting up a CRM for your photography business. 

In this episode, Nicole shares why you might not need one after all—and how simple, effective alternatives can help streamline your workflow and keep you focused on what you love: creating beautiful images for your clients.

What to Listen For:

  • What a CRM is and the key features it provides.
  • Why CRMs may not be the best fit for boutique photography businesses.
  • The essential functions every photographer needs to manage their business.
  • Free or low-cost alternatives to traditional CRMs.
  • Best practices for creating client workflows (even with paper checklists!).
