Description

Why are some photographers booking $10K+ portrait sessions while others struggle to get inquiries? It’s not luck, ads, or better gear. It’s strategy. In this episode, I’m sharing my 17 Clients Framework—the exact method I use to help photographers spot real-life opportunities that lead to emotional, high-value bookings.

Stop waiting. Start seeing.

• How to recognize 17 life moments that clients will pay big for
• The conversation formula that leads to effortless bookings
• Why solving emotional needs matters more than fancy marketing

The clients are already in your life. This framework will help you see them—and serve them—differently.
