In this episode of the Life & Lens Podcast, join me for my podcast interview on Andrew Hellmich's PhotobizX podcast about navigating moving from the high-end client to the luxury market and how I create styled shoots that are campaigns for my brand. PhotobizX is a go-to podcast with Andrew Hellmich for aspiring and established photographers. On his weekly podcast he interviews successful photographers from around the world to uncover how they run their photography businesses, whether wedding, portrait or headshot photography and turn a profit. He's interested in what photographers really do in their business, exposing ‘how' they run their business so that we can shortcut the road to success. In our interview, we talk about how launching my business with the specific goal to the world's best wedding photographer, changed the trajectory of my success. Rather than entering as an entry-level wedding photographer, I crafted a brand and marketed myself to the high-end niche. From the outset, I wanted to attract high-end clients, planning luxury weddings with an editorial aesthetic. Was I open about my experience? Absolutely, I was and always am transparent about my experience as a fashion photographer who pivoted to shooting weddings. What attracted my ideal clients to me was my luxury branding, personal brand and strategic content from fashion backstage and styled shoots. I also think that putting your big goals and dreams out into the universecreates a magnetic force where people want to support you; so why not put it out there? As I transition from the high-end to luxury client, listening back to this podcast has been a chance to reflect on how my business is evolving. I hope you enjoy the PhotobizX interview and that you can take from it some gems of advice that you can implement in your own business today.

Andrew Hellmich has been a successful wedding and portrait photographer for over 20 years. He also has an amazing and popular podcast called Photobizx. Luci has been on his show a few times and he asks surprising questions that get his guests to share motivating and practical tips to help you grow your own business. Today he and Luci discuss how to find and qualify new clients through Facebook advertising, how to find your perfect client, and how to not waste time or giveaway your services to people who won't become clients. In this episode, Luci and Andrew discuss: Learning from what other successful photographers have done, not just in their shooting style, but also their business acumen You have to create an experience for your clients, it's not just about your photos Find your perfect client and offer them something of value to start to create a relationship Be transparent and don't be afraid to scare people off, you don't want every client If you hope to make a living with photography, you have to focus on the business, not just the art If you are offering a giveaway, make sure you are pre-qualifying them before offering your services With a Facebook ad- The headline and the photo are both equally important, they both need to stop your potential client from scrolling past Facebook Pixels are an amazing way to track and target potential clients "Success in business as a photographer is more about the business of marketing than the photography, or being the photographer that stands out among the crowd in regards to having their own style." — Andrew Hellmich Special Gift!
