© 2026 THE SIX-FIGURE STANDARD PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST | Business, Identity, Capacity, and Sustainable Growth for Women Photographers
Description
Six figures changes a business. And nobody really talks about what breaks when you get there.
The Six-Figure Standard is for women photographers who are done chasing more clients and ready to build a business that can actually hold growth.
Hosted by Skye Edmonds, this podcast goes straight into the conversations most people skip. Pricing that finally makes sense. Capacity limits you didn’t know you had. The nervous system strain that shows up once money, visibility, and responsibility increase. And the identity shifts required so six figures doesn’t feel fragile or exhausting.
After two decades in the industry and working with over 10,000 photographers, Skye teaches why six figures is not the finish line. It’s the threshold. And why strategy alone isn’t enough once you cross it.
This is not a photography podcast.
It’s a business and leadership conversation for women who want income that feels stable, grounded, and sustainable.
Inside the podcast, you’ll hear about:
• Pricing and profit without self-betrayal
• Capacity, boundaries, and leadership at higher income levels
• Nervous system regulation for business growth
• Why “more” stops working and structure starts mattering
• The unseen shifts that turn six figures into something you can keep
If you’ve ever thought, I don’t need another strategy, I need something to change underneath this, you’re in the right place.
This is The Six-Figure Standard.
