Dating photography might not be the first niche that comes to mind when photographers think about growth — but in this interview, Emily Cummings explains why it’s become one of her most consistent, high-value revenue streams.

We unpack how Emily identified a specific emotional problem clients were already motivated to solve, why a dedicated dating photography offer pre-qualifies serious enquiries, and how experience design — from consults to styling to same-day image selection — makes premium pricing far easier to hold.

This conversation also explores the role Emily’s studio plays in credibility and efficiency, how Google Ads and strategic partnerships attract clients from well beyond her local area, and why simplifying pricing and systems across genres has helped her scale without burnout.

If you’re curious about building steadier income, attracting more decisive clients, or creating offers that work year-round — this episode will give you plenty to think about.

What actually matters for photography businesses heading into 2026?

Instead of vague trend predictions or recycled advice, this New Year Special brings together a group of experienced photography business coaches — each answering a specific question within their area of expertise.

The result is a wide-angle look at what’s genuinely shifting right now: how clients are finding photographers, how buying decisions are changing, where AI fits (and where it doesn’t), and what photographers need to rethink if they want their businesses to feel more stable, profitable, and sustainable this year.

You’ll hear perspectives on marketing, sales psychology, branding, visibility, client experience, and mindset — not as isolated tactics, but as connected pieces of how successful photography businesses are being built moving forward.

If you’re heading into 2026 wondering what to double down on, what to let go of, and where to focus your energy next, this episode will help you see the bigger picture — and avoid playing last year’s game in a changing market.
