Showing Up Strong as a Photographer in Your Community
Description
In this Cowgirls with Cameras episode, we’re talking about how to level up your photography business by becoming a more professional, trusted, and connected photographer. Step one is to show up as your future self—create a clear vision for where you want your photography career to be in three to five years, and bring that confidence and professionalism into every client interaction. Step two is to get involved and learn the culture around you. Whether you photograph horses, families, or brands, being active in your photography community builds trust and visibility. Attend local events, invest in continuing education, network with other photographers, and look for ways to serve your community without always selling. Step three is to focus on being a good human in business. Share authentic behind-the-scenes moments, own your mistakes, respond to negativity with professionalism, give credit where it’s due, and build a reputation for kindness, reliability, and respect. When you approach photography with professionalism, connection, and authenticity, your business naturally grows—and so does your community.
