Are you feeling the burnout?

When you first became a wedding photographer, you were so thrilled when you booked your first 10-hour day. Now you unconsciously push people toward your smaller packages because you don’t look forward to how you’ll feel afterward.

What Exactly Is Brand Photography?

Did you know that there are 31.7 million small businesses in the US? Every one of those little businesses is jockeying for position in the market. They’re trying to figure out how to get their products in front of a large enough audience to make their business a success.

Brand photography is a big part of how they do it.

As a brand photographer, you take interesting images that businesses can use to promote their product or service on social media, their website, and other channels.

Product-based businesses require clear product images to showcase the items — especially when selling online. They also need intriguing, lifestyle images of their products to grab attention in their marketing campaigns.

Service-based business owners use photos and videos to create a connection with their audience. They want to introduce themselves online and show potential customers how they are qualified/able to help.

Small businesses need a capable photographer — like you — to create this content for them. And they need it on an ongoing basis, which creates an awesome opportunity for you!

Curious How You Can Build a 6-Figure Photography Business?

There are lots of struggling photographers out there. Even if you feel like you’ve “made it” as wedding and family photographer — how much time do you spend pouring into your business?

Weddings eat up weekends and families always want to schedule outside of normal business hours. How many birthday parties, family events, or other activities do you miss out on?

I bet if you’ve been doing this long enough, somebody has even asked you for a photo session on Christmas Day!

Moving into the commercial photography side of things will change all that. Plus, you have the opportunity to build a 6-figure photography business.

Build a Book of Long-Term Recurring Clients

The key is to build a recurring book of clients so you don’t have to keep searching for new clients every month. You can plan ahead and know that you have this much money coming in each month.

It’s far easier to do this with brand photography than with wedding or family photography. People generally only get married once, so there is little chance for repeat business there. Even the ones who stick with you as a family photographer will only want a photo shoot maybe once a year — if you’re lucky.

You need a HUGE client base to maintain a solid business.

However, when you work with businesses that need a steady stream of marketing images, that all changes. With just a few recurring clients each month, you’ve got a dependable income stream.
