Get to know your client and match yourself up to that. That's the format of traditional marketing we're taught to use. What if we could accomplish more by going about it in a completely different way? In luxury, cost isn't the biggest factor in the decision making process - desire is. If we make people want our service, they will buy it.   Creating desire instantly makes us more sought-after, especially in a market segment  where exclusivity and uniqueness are the currency of buying choices. From the way we book client calls, to the photos we post on social media, we can use desire to increase the demand for our photography.   What steps can we take to make our services more desirable? How do we raise our prices and tap into a higher market segment? How can we build sustainable businesses while also having room to actually live our lives?   In this episode, we're joined by the CEO and Founder of Photographer's Edit and host of the Bokeh podcast, Nathan Holritz. We talk about simple and practical steps we can take to make our services pull in the buyers we want.    Guest Bio Nathan Holritz is the CEO and Founder of Photographer's Edit and Cheezoo. He's also the host of the Bokeh podcast. Starting in professional photography over 20 years ago, Nathan helped bring a modern style of premium wedding photography to the Chattanooga market via Holritz Photography.   While helping run Holritz Photography, Nathan saw both a personal and industry need for a company that could handle the post-processing of the thousands of images photographed at weddings. He created Photographer's Edit, a company geared toward providing a solution for professional photographers to outsource this post-processing following weddings and large events. The company was launched in 2008, and has since processed millions and millions of images for wedding, portrait, and commercial photographers.

In fact, after coaching hundreds of photographers in every market across the country, the number one trait that they all shared when they were struggling was working harder than ever in hopes that things would finally come together.

EP 105: If you ever want a fun question to ask other business owners, try asking them what their favorite tax write-off is.  In this episode, I got to ask that question to a number of successful creatives at the Noobie Photographer's conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  Rachel Crowe - @okcroweFeuza Reis - @fusecreativeincNathan Holritz - @nathanholritzLaJoy Lewis - @lajoyphotographyllcBritney Smith - @theglamlabphotographyAshley Freehan - @thepurposegatheringShaun Austin Gordon - @shaunaustinTomas Flint - @tomasflintThe Noobie Podcast - @noobiepodcastThis episode is brought to you by Bay Photo Lab.

Calling all cereal content consumers.   This episode is for you if you find yourself taking in a lot of knowledge, tips and strategies, but then find it really hard to implement all the things that you're learning.   I recently spoke at the Noobie photography conference hosted by Nathan Holritz. And I heard that only 5% of people who attend conferences actually go home and implement anything they learn.   This is at a conference that someone has paid for. I can only assume that the statistics are much lower when it comes to consuming free content like this podcast episode.   So today, I want to share with you a few things that I've learned over the years as a student, and now as an educator that have helped me actually implement all the things that I'm learning.   Resources:   Nathan Holritz | Noobie Podcast | Bokeh Podcast | Brand Position Episode Fuse Reis | Website | Instagram   Ready to go all in with your photography business?

If you need to hear that it's okay to outsource work, relinquish control, and live a value-practiced life with more freedom for the things that are important, this episode is it. I chat with Nathan Horlitz, founder and CEO of Photographer's Edit about how our values inform the kind of business and life we create, and how delegation adds just the freedom we need to be happier, healthier and whole. As business owners and soloprenueres we strive for work-life balance. We dream of more time with our families, friends, ourselves! But the fear of handing our work over to someone else so we have more time can leave us stuck in the doing-it-all and no time for anything but the grind. There is a way though. And we talk about them in this episode. Here are some reason's why you'll want to listen to our conversation: When it comes to decision making (and many other things) spend less time on how you feel about the thing and more time assessing how the thing aligns with your values. Relinquish control and leverage delegation to live the life you dream of How strong brand positioning is a unique value proposition The things that we are thankful we outsourced The power of meditation Where to find Nathan: Photographers Edit InstagramNathan's InstagramPhotographers Edit Show Links: Read - The 4 Hour WorkweekRead - The Truth About Employee EngagementRead - The Untethered SoulListen - How to be a badass decision maker Follow us at:https://taylorjonesphotography.com/https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorjonesphotographyhttps://www.instagram.com/taylorjonesphotography/https://www.facebook.com/TaylorJonesPhotography

EP 103:  I am here at the Noobie Photographer's Conference in Chattanooga, Tennesee, picking the brains of professional photographers and business owners on what the best investment has been for them in their careers.  Oftentimes, I find amateur photographers cite a new piece of camera equipment as their best investment, which is not to say that is wrong or misguided, but it does highlight a perspective shift from many people starting out to those who have reached a certain level they set out to.  In this episode, I pulled 8 successful entrepreneurs aside to ask them what investment they are most grateful for.  Rachel Crowe - @okcroweFeuza Reis - @fusecreativeincNathan Holritz - @nathanholritzLaJoy Lewis - @lajoyphotographyllcBritney Smith - @theglamlabphotographyAshley Freehan - @thepurposegatheringShaun Austin Gordon - @shaunaustinTomas Flint - @tomasflintThe Noobie Podcast - @noobiepodcastThis episode is brought to you by Bay Photo Lab.

EP 102:  We're out on location!  I am wrapping up here at the Noobie Photographer's conference here in Chattanooga Tennesee, talking to successful business owners and creatives about art, life, and business.  In the quiet moments, I decided to pull every speaker aside for a quick poll, asking them where in business they think startup creatives tend to waste the most time on.   What is amazing is each entrepreneur has his/her own take on what efforts rank highest as a diminishing return, and hopefully these responses prompt all of us to ask ourselves, "what tasks are we constantly spending time on, that yield very little return?"Rachel Crowe - @okcroweFeuza Reis - @fusecreativeincNathan Holritz - @nathanholritzLaJoy Lewis - @lajoyphotographyllcBritney Smith - @theglamlabphotographyAshley Freehan - @thepurposegatheringShaun Austin Gordon - @shaunaustinTomas Flint - @tomasflintThe Noobie Podcast - @noobiepodcastThis episode is brought to you by Bay Photo Lab.

041. This may or may not be true for you, but I think it's safe to say that while nearly all creative entrepreneurs prioritize and see value in social media, many creative entrepreneurs fail to prioritize their websites and even neglect them altogether.  However, here's the thing. Your website is your most powerful marketing tool! When built strategically, your website will: Serve as a 24/7 salesperson for your business Attract your ideal customers and repel those who aren't a good fit for you Display your work and products at their best Communicate your brand Serve as your safe haven on the Internet regardless of algorithm changes Basically, your website should be at the center of your marketing efforts, and every other marketing tool—including SEO, social media, email marketing, and more—should be driving your ideal customers to your website so they can learn more about you and what you offer.  Now, because I know you don't want overwhelm to stand between you and having a website that (1) serves your clients well and (2) enables you to meet your business goals, let's simplify the web development process.

"Don't make excuses- look for solutions." If there is one thing that comes up almost more than ANYTHING with creatives I work with...it is the topic of clarity.

However, as our guest this week Nathan Holritz shares, becoming crystal clear on who you serve and how you serve them will help you be less busy, have better relationships, and heck...just have more fun.    FROM TODAY'S EPISODE: Gaining clarity and simplifying our brand position Finding a variation of your passion that serves a market How clarity can help you be less busy, more successful, and enjoy your work   MENTIONED ON SHOW: Connect with Nathan Holritz: https://www.nathanholritz.com/ Show Notes and Previous Interview: https://www.heatherparady.com/blog/nathanholritz   WHO IS NATHAN?

Friend, meet Nathan Holritz, he’s the founder of photographersedit.com and in today’s episode we’re chatting about why outsourcing your edits is actually an investment in your business. If you are like me, perhaps you do it all! And although that can be great, the reality is that at some point help is needed if we want to grow. Editing is one of those tasks that feel very personable, and maybe even hard to delegate, but once you take a look at the big picture ( no pun intended) and we realized that our time as creators/business owner/ entrepreneur is better spent somewhere else, then outsourcing our editing sounds like the best idea ever! In this chat, Nathan shares with us how his company works, why outsourcing is actually a great opportunity to grow your business, make more money, and maybe even be happier :) Nathan is also the host of the Bokeh Podcast, with over 500 episodes you can be sure that you will find a topic you like in his library.

Nathan photographed weddings for over a decade before becoming the founder and CEO of PhotographersEdit.com. He's also the host of the Boca podcast. In his free time, Nathan enjoys spending time with his two children, his family and his friends. He also enjoys reading, playing soccer and riding motorcycles. I reached out to Nathan to come on the show today for a few different reasons. A lot of my coaching clients have been looking at their businesses and really starting to break them down to see what's working and what's not working for them both as business owners but also as Moms. We've really been digging into finding what hangups or snags are keeping them from providing a great client experience, but also how their workflow is affecting their families.

Today on the podcast, I'm talking with Nathan Holritz, founder of Photographer's Edit and the Bokeh Photography Podcast. We're covering work life balance and how to set up a successful outsourcing relationship before you need it. Listen to my episode on the Bokeh Podcast. About Nathan Holrtiz Nathan Holritz is an entrepreneur based in Chattanooga, TN. Starting in professional photography 17 years ago, Nathan helped bring a modern style of premium wedding photography to the Chattanooga market via Holritz Photography. While helping run Holritz Photography, Nathan saw both a personal and industry need for a company that could handle the post-processing of the thousands of images photographed at weddings. He created Photographer's Edit, a company geared toward providing a solution for professional photographers to outsource this post-processing following weddings and large events. The company was launched in 2008, and has continued to grow since, processing millions of images for professional photographers. Nathan also hosts the Bokeh Photography Podcast, which focuses on the topics of photography technique, running a photography business, and creating more freedom and flexibility in your life as a photography business owner.

Adam also hosts the Bearded Tog podcast where he discusses everything from pricing, social media, marketing and so much more. Adam is also often joined by great guests such as: Jasmine Star, Two Mann Studios, Nathan Holritz, Robert J Hill and so many more. We get to know more about Adam but also talk about his mentoring, advising other photographers in the world of photography and we touch base on his plans for US wedding domination as he starts his associate photography program. We also cover a couple of questions from our Facebook group: * Typically, wedding photographers are minimalists during the day. Do you still have most of your gear with you, but just in your car? Aside from Body & Lenses, what have you found to be must carries.
 * When do you set up any extra gear such as flashes? What occasions to you need ‘extra gear’ for?
 * How often do you upgrade gear? Only as needed as soon as a newer model comes out?
