What if you could quadruple your photography income—while cutting your session count in half?

In this eye-opening episode, photographer and educator Rob Faber shares how he transformed his business from a high-volume, low-return hustle into a streamlined, profitable model. Once shooting 120 sessions a year while working full-time as a teacher, Rob was charging around $500 per shoot-and-burn session… until he realized something wasn’t adding up.

After switching to a product-based sales approach, Rob’s average client investment jumped to $1,800–$2,200—while he dramatically reduced his workload. Even more shocking? About 75% of his former digital-only clients never downloaded their photos, revealing a powerful truth about perceived value and client experience.

Rob brings a unique perspective as both a photographer and a teacher, drawing powerful connections between educating students and guiding photography clients. His approach to authentic selling, adapting to different client communication styles, and leading with value offers practical insight for photographers at every stage.

Whether you're feeling stuck in the shoot-and-burn cycle, juggling photography with another job, or simply want to boost your income without burning out, this conversation is packed with actionable strategies and fresh perspective.

What happens when your dream photography business leaves you completely burned out? In this raw and inspiring episode, Bethany Quinn shares her journey from building a booming downtown boudoir studio to hitting a wall of exhaustion that forced her to walk away from photography for an entire year.

After pouring everything into a passion project that left her depleted, Bethany realized something had to change. Her comeback story is filled with powerful lessons every photographer needs to hear—about boundaries, sustainable systems, and building a business that supports your life, not drains it.

You’ll hear how she rebuilt her business by:

• Replacing constant ads with real, authentic connections
• Setting firm boundaries to protect her time (and sanity)
• Leading powerful planning sessions that create deeper client trust
• Combining her boudoir expertise with equine photography to attract dream clients naturally

Bethany’s honest reflections touch on selling wall art with confidence, managing client expectations, and navigating the business as an introvert—all while honoring her own needs. Her evolution proves that creating a more fulfilling, profitable business isn’t about doing more... it’s about doing things differently.

What if the reason your clients “just want digitals” has nothing to do with price—and everything to do with what they don’t know exists?

In this episode, Karinda sits down with Tavis Guild of Guild Canvas to unpack one of the biggest misconceptions in the photography world: that clients don’t want wall art. Spoiler alert—they do. But it’s up to you to show them why it matters.

Together, they explore how to shift your sales mindset from file delivery to creating unforgettable experiences with printed products. You’ll learn:

• The real reason clients ask for digitals (hint: it’s not about the money)
• How to introduce wall art without being pushy
• Why offering fewer options can actually boost your sales
• The power of prestige, passion, and positioning
• And the “suitcase wheels” analogy that will change how you think about product sales forever

Tavis brings insights from 17 years running a successful studio and leading Guild Canvas to reveal what really moves the needle when it comes to premium product sales.

If you're ready to stop playing small, confidently offer physical products, and elevate both your client experience and bottom line—this episode is your roadmap.

What happens when a wedding photographer decides to completely pivot their business to better align with family, values, and lifestyle? In this honest and inspiring episode, Austin shares how he transitioned from long wedding days and digital galleries to building a thriving family portrait business that centers around in-person connection and lasting artwork.

After years of burnout and missing emotional connection with clients, Austin began working with photography business coach Karinda and restructured his approach from the ground up. Now, his clients invest an average of $2,300 per session—and he gets to witness their reactions in real time. Even more importantly, he’s created a sustainable business that allows him to be present with his two young children.

Austin opens up about:

• Facing the fear of raising prices
• Learning how to market face-to-face at farmer’s markets
• Building confidence around sales conversations
• And letting go of social media comparison traps

One of the most powerful moments? When Austin installed large-scale portraits of his own family and saw firsthand the value of printed artwork. That experience changed how he saw his work—and how he communicated its worth to clients.

If you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or simply wondering what else is possible for your photography business, this episode is the dose of clarity and courage you need to hear.

Meet Austin Liberato
Austin Liberato is a passionate portrait photographer who believes in capturing life’s most meaningful, emotional moments—whether it’s a wedding day or a quiet moment with family. Known for his heartfelt approach and storytelling style, Austin isn’t just a photographer; he’s a cheerleader, third-wheel, and sidekick for the people he photographs.

After years of photographing weddings, Austin transitioned his business to focus on family portraits, creating artwork that becomes a lasting part of his clients’ homes. His work is rooted in connection, authenticity, and the desire to preserve memories that matter.

Facing change in your photography business can feel like staring down a cheetah in the jungle at night. Your brain crafts elaborate stories about what might go wrong – you'll lose all your clients, your business will crumble, nobody will pay those higher prices. But what if these fears are just protective mechanisms that have nothing to do with reality?

This eye-opening episode tackles the emotional and practical barriers photographers face when changing their pricing structure. I challenge you to identify that burning change you've been avoiding and envision how your life, family, and community might transform if you finally made it happen. Could your $350 sessions become $3,500 or even $7,000 sales? What financial freedom might that create?

The mindset work comes first – acknowledging negative thoughts and deliberately rewriting them into positive affirmations. Once that foundation is laid, I reveal the four critical mistakes photographers make when implementing pricing changes: copying competitors without understanding, avoiding money conversations with clients, overcomplicating offerings, and failing to create repeatable processes.

Each mistake comes with practical solutions drawn from years of coaching photographers through these exact transitions. Learn why talking about pricing from day one (or earlier!) matters, why simplicity beats complexity every time, and how systematic approaches produce consistent results.

The transformation can be life-changing. I share stories of photographers who have multiplied their average sale tenfold by implementing these principles. Even shooting just 3-4 clients monthly at these higher rates can completely revolutionize your business and lifestyle.

Ready to face your fears and make that change you've been postponing? This episode provides both the emotional support and practical roadmap to get there. Because with the right knowledge, tools, and mindset, you absolutely can master the changes your photography business needs.

Discover how one photographer doubled her sales average with tweaks to her process after already being in business for ten years. Corrie Lindroos, a portrait photographer from Canada specializing in horses, families, and headshots, shares her remarkable transformation from struggling with just six sessions per year to confidently booking 40 annual clients while actually working fewer hours.

The secret wasn't in complex marketing strategies or raising prices, but in counterintuitive techniques like completely eliminating her price list (with no clients ever asking for it), systematizing her workflow, and making subtle changes to her sales approach. Within days of implementing these changes, Kori's average jumped from $1800-2200 to $3800, and she began selling albums for the first time in a decade.

What makes Corrie's journey particularly powerful is her initial skepticism. "I don't think these little tiny changes are really going to make that big of a deal," she remembers thinking before seeing the results firsthand. Now she advocates for following proven systems exactly as taught: "Just do exactly what Karinda says, how she says to do it. Just trust that what she's saying is going to work."

Perhaps most surprising is how Corrie maintains authentic connections while dramatically increasing sales. As a self-described "small town girl" who's "a little rough around the edges," she shares how finding her deeper "why" helps her confidently recommend photography services without feeling "sleazy" - even at personal events like her father's memorial, where she realized the profound importance of family portraits after having no adult photos with her dad.

Through practical examples like drop-shipping products directly from labs (saving time and money) to implementing systematic marketing approaches, this episode offers tangible strategies any photographer can implement immediately to transform their business while creating more freedom and financial success.

Meet Corrie Lindroos
Corrie Lindroos is a portrait photographer based in Canada who specializes in photographing horses, families, and headshots. Despite her growing success, Corrie remains grounded and authentic—proudly calling herself a “small town girl” who’s “a little rough around the edges.” She confidently shares the importance of what she does, knowing her work has lasting impact.

Register for our Free Training Tuesday, May 20th at 7:30PM EST!

What does a 13-year journey of building a thriving photography business actually look like? Not the polished highlight reel we see on social media, but the raw, unfiltered truth—complete with struggles, pivotal moments, and breakthroughs.

In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on my evolution from a college student making $35 prints to running a multi-faceted photography enterprise with three distinct branches. You'll discover how my business now encompasses high-end equine portraits, volume dance studio photography, and nationwide horse show coverage—all managed with surprisingly simple systems and minimal staff.

The journey wasn't easy. I vividly recall the early days—meeting clients at Starbucks with printed proofs, calling my mom excitedly after an $800 sale, then ending the year wondering where all the money went. For years I followed conventional photography business advice without understanding the deeper principles behind it. The real transformation came when I started studying business, marketing, and pricing from experts outside the photography industry and—most critically—when I finally addressed the mindset issues keeping me locked at a certain income level.

Perhaps most valuable are the lessons learned from my mistakes. I share the four specific factors that keep photographers trapped with low-paying clients (averaging $300-$800 sales) and reveal what actually unlocked the door to consistent $5,000+ client experiences. This isn't theoretical advice—it's battle-tested wisdom from someone who built a business from nothing, once lived in a camper to make ends meet, and now enjoys a thriving photography career.

Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck at a frustrating income plateau, this episode offers both practical guidance and heartfelt encouragement. Success as a photographer is absolutely possible, and your journey doesn't have to be as long or difficult as mine was.

Join me on May 20th at 7:30pm for a special training where I'll dive deeper into breaking through those low-paying client barriers. Let's build the photography business you deserve—one that serves both you and your clients extraordinarily well.
