I'm hitting pause on the podcast for just a little bit to rest, recover & focus on my health. So I wanted to record this episode to thank you so much for coming along for the ride with me here. And to ask you a favor . . . 3 questions I asked during this episode that I truly value your opinion on & will determine the next steps for me are:What do you need help with most? You can get as specific as you want to get here.What do you value more - budget friendly, quick fixes (like short, power packed DIY courses & resources) OR longer term coaching containers?If a longer term coaching container - what would be ideal for you - 3 months, 6 months or 12 months?You can send me a DM over on instagram or email me at heythere@seniorstudiosuccess.com to let me know your thoughts. So, I'm still around, just in the background a little bit. This is just a short pause & I'll be back soon:)Thank you for your support over the years & for being so awesome!

Not sure if you need a business coach for your photography business? That's why I asked my student, Tim Goates, to sit down for an honest conversation around his experience with me as his business coach inside Studio Secrets. Tim is a former youth pastor turned senior photographer. His passion for teens is what drives his senior photography business in North Carolina. Tim joined Studio Secrets after listening to an interview with another student so it was fitting to have him on the show! Coming into Studio Secrets, Tim always told me "I don't like business", but he's turning the corner and has been mastering SEO & blogging! His biggest win over the last year in Studio Secrets, as he says, is finding his voice. We worked a lot on messaging, so that doesn't surprise me at all! You're going to love Tim's story!LEARN HOW TO BOOK CLIENTS IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS: CONSULTS THAT CONVERT: JANUARY 24TH - 26TH! STUDIO SECRETS: DOORS OPEN JAN 25TH!

If you're a visual learner and want this "drawn" out just let me know! I'm going to be walking you through my photography client workflow. More specifically, the back end of what my clients go through with me for a session! Before getting in too deep I want to remind you of a FREE class I have all about posing. It's called the Keys to Effective Family Posing and inside I unravel elements you need to pose families well! Click the link, learn a ton and head into your next session excited to implement! Now here's my best verbal explanation of my photography client workflow... Trello OrganizationThis is one of my top tools I use and it's basically a business management tool. In it I have an entire board for my photography client workflow. Each client gets their own card on the board that has a massive checklist. It includes all the pertinent info for the client (name, email, location, date, time, etc.). Every step of booking, Dubsado workflow, leading up to the session, final payment info, etc! Post processing: editing, uploading, backing up hard drives, etc. When I said everything I meant everything! So that's where I start. Getting all the info and workflow in an organized place. DubsadoI use this to send contracts and invoices, additional emails, the questionnaire, the client experience guide and the final info email. So all our clients are housed here because this is where they are served and communicated with. Clients don't see or have any involvement in Trello (that's in house). Private Editor & Lightroom Classic CCThe next step is sending all our images to our private editor and we use Lightroom classic cc to edit all our images! We put images in Lightroom and once they're ready to be edited and include smart previews. That's how we send them to our editor. Rather than having to send all the raws we send them the Lightroom catalog that has smart previews. This allows our editor to edit the images without having the files. After editing in Lightroom they send it back and we are able to make final tweaks and crops to the images. After all that we export and it's on to the next... ShootproofIt's finally time for delivery! I use Shootproof to deliver galleries. We also upload our final images to Google drive as a virtual back up. You can never be too safe. We don't keep a back up of raw images, however, images aren't deleted until 2 weeks after the gallery has been delivered. Was that a lot? Here's a recap: Start with the big checklist in Trello! Next is contracts, forms, invoices in Dubsado. Lastly, deliver the galleries in Shootproof. If you are lost in any way feel free to reach out and ask more about my photography client workflow. And check out the resources mentioned above to help you out! What We DiscussedTrello Organization (2:59) Dubsado (6:58) Private Editor & Lightroom Classic CC (7:33) Shootproof (8:23)

If you've been around a while these may not be a surprise, but it's a great refresher! All of these will be linked so you can use them too. I have discount codes for most and others are free! Now, before digging in I do want to mention a FREE class I know you'll benefit from. It's called "https://posing.rebeccaricephoto.com/sign-up-organic (Keys to Effective Family Posing)" no more awkward and stiff! If you feel like posing is your weakest link, maybe you're not super confident or clients are a bit awkward and stiff... this class is for YOU! In the class I talk through some of my go to poses, things to look for when posing and just some building blocks to creating a natural/comfortable pose. On to the top 5 tools I use in my business... TrelloThis is a free online business management tool and it's how I keep EVERYTHING in my business organized. It's an alternative to asana and to me it's much more visual. Trello is incredibly flexible and we literally use it for content management, launches, to-dos, etc! It's similar to Pinterest in that it functions in "boards". Within these beautiful boards you can create checklists! As I began adding team members I needed the workflows and processes to live somewhere other than in my head. (If you've never written out your workflows/processes is vital for future or current outsourcing!) DubsadoWe use this as our client relationship management tool. It's our CRM and it is houses our contracts, invoices, any communication between us and the client and workflows! I literally don't know where I would be without it. I've tried plenty of CRMs and this one has the best automations in my opinion. If it weren't for this platform I would lose track of clients which is not ok! I do have a discount for Dubsado that you can access https://www.dubsado.com/?c=rebeccaricephotography (HERE)! ShootproofOur gallery delivery system here is wonderful. It's user friendly, helps assist our clients and is so pretty! You know I am a big believer in upselling and this platform allows us to do it well! I do have an https://l.shootproof.com/a/837599 (affiliate link), which sadly doesn't give you a discount. But it does give me a small kickback which just helps with running a business and making this podcast possible! You can start using Shootproof at a small rate and increase as you need to with their packages. Google CalendarsI am a huge fan of Google calendars and to be honest we probably use WAY too many! I separate promotional campaigns like Christmas in July because it just makes it easy visually. It also integrates beautifully with Dubsado, so when I book a client with Dubsado I have it synced with Google calendars so it automatically adds it! I use it with my associate team which consists of 18 photographers and each of them uses it for multiple things! FlodeskThis is our email marketing system and it's literally the Canva of email platforms. It's so easy to use and absolutely beautiful! I've used a few and this one just takes the cake. Flodesk has templates, easy drag and drop options and more. I do have a discount code for this one you can grab HERE. What's the difference between emails sent in Flodesk vs. Dubsado... I say Flodesk is best for mass emails whereas Dubsado is the one on one communication for clients. That way I can keep track of specific convos. I'm a huge believer in email marketing and have another podcast on why Flodesk is worth...

I'm talking about what I would do if I was starting my business in 2022! It's going to be a good one, but I do have this free guide to help you get going! It's called the "https://rebeccaricephoto.com/9-steps (9 Steps to Make Your Photo Business Official)". It helps you through the initial startup and covers things that every business owner needs! So, here's what I would do first if I was starting my business in 2022... Start Email Marketing EarlyEmail marketing is the easiest way to book photo sessions from your warmest clients. They know you, trust you and want more of what you have! You want to start an email list of these clients. I call them the VIP clients. This way you market to them first without having to go to the public. That definitely takes time, but that's why you need to start NOW! An email list is something you own so you have control unlike social media platforms where things are constantly changing. I use https://flodesk.com/c/REBECCARICE (Flodesk) as a platform and have loved it. https://flodesk.com/c/REBECCARICE (Flodesk) is easy to use, it's beautiful and I've got a https://freebies.rebeccaricephoto.com/email-marketing-organic (FREE guide) to grow your email list from 0 to 100! You can use my code https://flodesk.com/c/REBECCARICE (HERE) to get 50% off for life and get that list going! Get LegitBefore you start take paying clients you need to register your business as either an LLC or Sole Proprietor. This sets you up to be legit moving forward. Even if you're not making much, this is important! The next thing to get legit is by getting a contract in place. And not just any contract, but one a lawyer has looked at or approved. Regardless of the type of session, you need one in place to protect both you and your clients. I have a contract that's been lawyer approved, it's customizable and it's the same one I use for all my sessions! You can grab that https://store.rebeccaricephoto.com/portrait-contract-template (HERE). Lastly, you want to get a good CRM in place. It allows you to automate contracts and invoices. Everything is done online and my fave is https://www.dubsado.com/?c=rebeccaricephotography (Dubsado). More info in the podcast, so give it a listen! Start Charging ProfitablyThere's a myth out there that says if you are newer you have to charge a lot less than established photographers. Now obviously if your skill is not up to par you shouldn't be charging $1000 per session. But you still need to make a profit by charging enough to keep the doors open for your business. You can find out what that price needs to be by doing a Cost of Doing Business or CODB. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f372fBLCSDQ&t=547s (THIS) tutorial to find out yours! Invest in Education before GearI did this backward when I first started. It set me back at least a year. I could have launched faster and gone farther in my business early on had I invested in education first! As far as gear goes, get together a full frame body, one solid lens and a cheap flash and you're good to go. Find CommunityEspecially in the photography industry you should find yourself to find a good community. I know it seems like there are...

What if you could get a seat at the table with the Founder of a $6 Million per year business (with a 42% profit margin)? In this episode, I'm excited to have my friend Cole Humphus as a guest. Cole rapidly scaled the online photography education company Cole's Classroom to 10,000 members & multiple 7 figures in profit before the company was acquired by ShootProof in 2019. Now Cole is focused on helping other online businesses consistently grow with sustainable & predictable profits so they can have great businesses without sacrificing a great lifestyle. Note: Towards the end of the podcast, we dive into tactical tips you can apply today to increase revenue, profit and customer lifetime value. Take notes.
