Description

What if you could turn a creative side gig into $16K photographing dogs—even if you've never charged for a portrait session before?

In this episode, Felix Bird shares how he went from composing music and shooting event videos to earning real income as a boutique photographer. With no formal portrait business, Felix joined Boutique Breakthrough and followed each step with courage, skepticism, and eventually—results.

● The moment he stopped doubting the pricing model and believed he could actually do this
● How photographing kids (and dogs!) became more than just a favor for friends
● What changed when his wife, a fellow creative, saw how real and sustainable this path was

If you're juggling other creative work and wondering if this can really work for you too—Felix's story is the proof and the push you've been waiting for.
