Beginning, photographers, charger worth, and why it’s important to have a contract and think bigger

💪💪Photographers -I will say this until I'm blue in-the face


🎉🎉charge your worth even if that means less clients.


I know I know 🤯🤯


shocking


I know (gasp) even if that-means less clients,


👏👏but more quality people.


🎬🎬Learn how to diversify your dang skill set


so you-don’t have to get every single nickel and dime “Karen” coming your way to pay bills


learn how to-do other skill sets.


✅Hello, like manage people's social media


✅take Food and Commercial shots ✅do stock photography

✅head shots

✅real estate etc… .

🎉So you're not waiting around for every family shoot-senior shoot… and you're in this Rat Race-and every single group that posts,there's 83 comments.


🤯🤯You got to be finding a niche that not a lot of people are


🎉you need to have a lot of different skill sets


🎉So if 1 thing isn't cooking -you have 4 other things cooking.



📣I cannot tell you how valuable that is.


✅I don't just do photography I do videography.


✅ social media

✅Graphics

✅merch design


I have multiple stores cooking stuff.


📣I have social media clients that pay me auto bill $400- to $800 a month to handle their digital marketing.



✅I have a rental Studio


💪I mean guys, that's the level that you need to be thinking.


🥔🥔Stop thinking Small Potatoes.


Stop thinking Small Potatoes. Okay?


🎉And I know it's a journey-


I've been doing this for 13 years.


I know I didn't start off that way.


🎉Yes, I started off with weddings, families and seniors and all the things that you guys are doing.


📣But the bigger picture -the bigger picture was there



🎉🎉what's my goal?


my goal was to get all these-skill sets so that I can stay home and homeschool my kids and have passive income streams and that I did not travel as much


📣 so I did weddings


I did like 55 60 weddings, every other month for like 7 - 8 years something like that.


📣so that I could get the skill sets and I needed


✅so that during 2020- I could go and do my passive income streams and  rental studio.


📣📣So I didn't have to rely on weddings so much and traveling - doing all this stuff and being away-from my family.


🎉So now I can do commercial photography and food photography and head shots and all these things.


🤯So guys, that's the mindset you need to have.


You need to have bigger picture mindset.



Okay, and I know it is a journey and I know it’s tough - life sucks and I get it.


✅I've been there I'm going through it right now.


💪💪I'm still not at my goals.


👏I'm still 10 years away from being completely child-free and they're going to be gone doing their thing


and I still have goals and dreams and Ambitions,


but guys think bigger picture.


⁉️Think bigger


📣because if not, you're going to have all these “Karen's”harassing-you


I have people right now calling me for advice.


“I have these ‘Karen's’ harassing me.”


“They're texting me all night asking me ‘where the photos?’”


asking me why I can’t re re-edit them and they only paid $200 for a 8 Hour coverage graduation shoot,


and they don't like any of my work and-I  just want to give up.



✅Have a contract.


✅Charge your worth.


✅Don't work with ‘Karen's.’




All right guys much love. Peace out.


Bye.
