I can't wait to get to know you, but first here's a bit about me!

 

I have been in the family photography business for over a decade and in that time I built my business twice. The first time was in San Diego where I have lived most of my life. I built my photography business organically through friends, family and referrals as I simultaneously learned the art of photography. In late 2017 we had an unexpected move to Austin where I was forced to let go of the business I had worked hard to build.

 

After moving, I decided I wanted to build my photography business better and in a way that worked 100% for me. I signed up for a few photography business workshops to help get me started on my new quest and was disappointed by the vague advice and fluff they were teaching. Ironically it was another photographer in one of those workshops who shared the best business advice I've ever received. Implementing what she suggested changed everything for me and my business soon began to thrive with clients who value my work.

 

Fast forward 7 years and I've created a business that has me consistently turning away clients due to a fully booked calendar, making more money than I ever thought possible, all while having the flexibility to be present with my family, which is my number one priority.

 

Since learning the tip the photographer shared with me during the business workshop, I have become obsessed with helping other photographers skip the messy trial and error of client building and instead setting up your business to be sustainable, attract the clients you want and make money! With a Marketing degree from SDSU and as a former Marketing Director, teaching other photographers how to build the business of thier dreams has become my passion. Let's go!

"Oh goodness I don’t even know where to begin! Lindsay is SIMPLY AMAZING!!! Such a sweet soul and kind heart. She’s so personable & relatable.

 

I was nervous to purchase “another course/coaching program” but this one - WOW!!! I always said I would never waste money and pay for ads - Google ads have changed the game learning from Lindsay! I’m about 3/4 finished with my course and I’m EXTREMELY more than satisfied with it all. She breaks down everything step by step and takes the time to make sure you understand it."

My goal is to give you the confidence, clarity, & knowledge to rock your photography business!

 

Helping other photographers is my passion! After years of trial and error and figuring out systems that work, I LOVE sharing this knowledge and helping others skip the messy middle. I am commited to helping you quickly scale your photography business. Let me help make the photography business you've been dreaming about a reality.

 

I’m an adventurous spirit, love trying new things, and particularly enjoy connecting with other photographers. I will give advice with the intention of helping you grow, and I promise to be honest but kind.

I Understand That It’s Hard To Invest In

Your Business When You’re Not Booked Out...

 

Am I right?

 

And it’s especially hard when you’ve already invested in other photography business courses that didn’t deliver.

But let me ask you something:

At the rate that you’re (not) growing your business-

At the rate that you’re not figuring out what you’re doing “wrong”-

At the rate that you’re charging-


Can you really afford not to invest in your business?
