If you've ever wondered how the heck to get consistent referrals from planners (and not just cross your fingers and hope for the best), this episode is for YOU. 🎉

In today’s episode, I’m joined by a high-end wedding planner who’s spilling the real tea on what makes photographers referrable. We’re diving deep into what planners are actually looking for when they build their go-to vendor list, and how YOU can position yourself to be one of them.

We cover:
✨ What makes photographers stand out (and what makes them forgettable)
✨ How to build real relationships with planners (without being pushy)
✨ The surprising non-photo things planners care about most
✨ Common mistakes photographers make that kill potential referrals
✨ And how to follow up after working a wedding together

Whether you're new to networking with planners or just want to increase your referral stream, this episode gives you the exact steps to become a photographer planners want to refer.

Tune in to hear:

  • The real reason you became a photographer (and why it still matters)
  • What photographers love most about their careers
  • How to stay grounded and positive in a noisy, comparison-driven industry
  • A heartfelt reminder to serve your clients with joy and purpose

I'm uncovering the hidden sales strategy that will book you more weddings!

The real sales process starts BEFORE the inquiry even happens.

If you wait until they inquire to start selling, you’re already behind.

The photographers who book the most weddings don’t just “sell” after the inquiry. They’re conditioning the lead to book them before they even reach out!

With a background in finance and accounting, Gina helps entrepreneurs and small business owners gain control of their finances and build wealth. She is passionate about helping her clients create financial stability and achieve their financial goals.

During our chat, Gina dropped some serious truth bombs on how entrepreneurs like you and I can save money and effectively manage that ever-changing variable income. Trust me, you won't want to miss this! Gina emphasized the importance of saving, no matter how big or small the amount. She shared some awesome tips on simplifying your bank accounts and creating a clear savings system. It's all about getting intimate with your finances and truly understanding your income and expenses.

Consistency is key, according to Gina. As an entrepreneur, paying yourself consistently is vital. We also dove into the power of setting quarterly and annual goals, rather than solely focusing on monthly goals. It's all about embracing the ebb and flow of being an entrepreneur.

🔑 In this episode, you will learn:

  • The impact of low months on business decisions

Hello, sunshine!! ☀️This week were are joined by the lovely Abbi Cooley and Nicole Kirshner, founders of Savvy the Workshop. This week we are talking all things building trust with clients, establishing a flow, and posing clients.

We discuss the importance of having a good session flow when photographing couples. Relying solely on prompts can make the session feel choppy and uncomfortable, and going with the flow of the couple is better for creating a connection....and this process starts long before the actual shoot. They believe this will help create a relaxed atmosphere and make the couple more comfortable, resulting in better photographs.

We discussed how important it is for photographers to focus on telling their couple's story rather than just giving them a pose prompt and expecting them to act it out. The goal should be to show what a day in the life of the couple is like, and that it is possible to capture genuine emotion without relying on posing prompts.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Photoshoot Preparation Strategies.
  • Setting the Tone for a Photoshoot and Workflow Process.
  • Creative Photography Techniques for Capturing Genuine Emotions.

Hello, sunshine!! ☀️This week we are diving into the world of booking bottlenecks and how to overcome them in the buyer's journey.

It's crucial to find that perfect balance between giving just enough information without overwhelming potential clients. Keep your website, marketing materials, and social media accounts clear, concise, and to the point.

When it comes to pricing: there's no one-size-fits-all approach here. Experiment with displaying prices on your website or not, and remember to stay flexible. If custom proposals are your thing, there might be better ways to go than fixed prices.

When potential clients reach out, be mindful of how much belief-shifting you need to do during that phone call. Keep an open mind and be prepared to answer any questions they might have.

This podcast is here to help you find your sweet spot – the perfect blend of pricing, marketing strategies, and client engagement that works best for you and your business. So, give it a go, and watch your booking rates soar! 🚀

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Pros and cons of having a strict pricing structure.
  • Strategies to build brand trust.
  • 5 tips to overcome booking bottlenecks in your buyer’s journey.

So I unintentionally took a short social media break because of a couple reasons. I was uninspired, unmotivated and I was exhausted. We're human beings. There's going to be seasons ebbs and flows of feeling motivated, unmotivated, and uninspired, and knowing that that's okay. But also knowing that there's ways around it, there's ways that you can be successful when those are happening, that you have things on the back end running for you, or that you're just giving yourself grace.

Okay friends, I've heard so many of y'all say this, and since I've personally felt this in the past too, I figured it deserved it's own episode. How to NOT feel salesy when you're selling your services sounds counterintuitive, right?! I mean… if you’re a service based business, you’re most likely selling something right?! While yes you are, we’re creative entrepreneurs - not a salesperson. So what can you do to help reframe your mindset around selling without selling?

Today we are going to talk about how this is probably being overcomplicated (what isn't!) We talk about focusing on connection and showing up as yourself!

I know I have a lot of entrepreneurs and photographer listeners on this podcast, and I also know that the vast majority of you have websites or know you need to create a website. But I also know how daunting it can be to create a website either from scratch or spend thousands of dollars for a designer to do it for you.

Todays’ episode I have with me Jen Olmstead is the co-owner of Tonic Site Shop. She is a former journalist turned website designer. It all started on a LA rooftop bar with her now business partner. They redefined website templates and put the control of your online presence back in your hands. Jen loves writing, witty banter, and a good old fashion.

What comes to your mind when I say CEO? Do you think to yourself: Being a photographer doesn't mean I'm a CEO, or that maybe you don't think you run a streamlined business enough to be considered a CEO, or that you don't have a big enough business to be considered a CEO, or any other limiting belief running through your mind?

This week on the Gold Biz Podcast, I share my personal struggle with decisiveness, how important it is to surround yourself with support, and how to show up as the CEO of your business! I want you to have faith in yourself and know that you are not alone in feelings of self doubt. I am here cheering for you!

Pricing is a loaded topic that comes with many variables, trials + errors, and just down right knowing your numbers. It's not a one size fits all type of situation, and heck, it may even vary for you season to season, or client to client.

Questions answered:

  • What should I charge per wedding
  • HOW? I don't want to rip anyone off, including myself. But how do I even begin?
  • How do you find the right price - not too expensive for people, but not so cheap you undersell yourself
  • I've done COB analysis but am scared i'm not worth all of that
  • higher pricing without offering 10-12 hour coverage because my body isn't 22 anymore
  • how often do you raise your prices? do you ever reach a point where you stop raising?
