  • 91: Steps to Take if you Feel Invisible
    Jan 13 2026

    I unpack how to move from feeling invisible to building steady visibility through clarity, consistency, and confidence. The goal: narrow focus to one channel, and rebuild trust with clear offers, simple paths, and calm brand authority.

    • why comparison skews perception and stalls action
    • the shift from vanity metrics to bookings
    • the three C’s and being findable, understandable, believable
    • one-channel focus with a six-week runway
    • rebuilding trust signals with clear offers and process
    • low-energy routines that sustain momentum
    • when to change strategy vs when to be patient
    • updates on classes, membership, and resources

  • 88: If Your Brand Needs a 2026 Reset
    Dec 9 2025

    Important Links: Join the Membership, $35/mo

    My Instagram

    I lay out a four-step reset for family photographers who want to pivot their brand toward sessions that feel true: ruthlessly cull, define the niche, curate the homepage, and announce the change with confident, specific offers. The goal is trust and consistency so the work you show matches the work you want to book.

    • Ruthless cull across all platforms to remove off-brand images
    • Keep, archive, delete or repurpose workflow to decide what stays
    • Prioritize emotive, on-brand work over technical perfection
    • Define a single profitable session type and name its traits
    • Build a private ideal gallery to spot patterns and language
    • Curate the homepage with 20–30 images per session type
    • Write clear, specific descriptors your ideal client understands
    • Announce the shift and invite aligned clients first
    • Create a named offer with limited slots for focus and clarity
    • Avoid pitfalls: sentiment, proving range, perfectionism, quantity
    • Market the audit consistently to create visibility and trust

    Join the membership: we’re shifting to specified booking paths with monthly money calls to tie creative focus to financial goals. We’ll also host a vision and dream board clinic in January. Come post yours and build momentum for 2026.
