147. Let's Talk Shoot with Strategy - Turning Project Photos into Pipeline
Description
This week on The Business of Beautiful Spaces, Laura sits down with Charleston-based photographer Candice Brook, whose work behind the lens has helped countless designers turn their finished projects into powerful marketing assets.
Candice shares what really goes into a strategic photoshoot — one that not only captures the beauty of a space but also builds visibility, fuels your PR efforts, and drives business growth long after install day.
Together, Laura and Candice dive into what makes a photo truly impactful, how to collaborate with your photographer for the best results, and why waiting for “perfect” might actually be holding you back. From magazine features to Instagram reels and everything in between, this conversation is all about making your images work harder for you.
If you’ve ever wrapped a project and wondered how to get more out of your photos, you’ll love this one. It’s practical, inspiring, and full of insights to help you elevate your brand through the power of great photography.
In just one focused hour, we’ll dive into whatever you need most—pricing strategies, client management, attracting high-end clients or building repeat business. You’ll get clarity, strategy, and expert advice based on my 27+ years of running a thriving, seven-figure design firm.
This is your chance to get real answers to the questions you’ve been dying to ask—from someone who’s actually been there.
Book your session as you need it—no strings attached.
