Tea With Jainé

We are chatting with Ingvild Kolnes about the importance of a sustainable business. We chat about what exactly does a sustainable business looks like and means to you as a wedding photographer. How we can make sure we are profitable and avoid the dreaded burnout. A little bit about Ingvild is that she is an educator and mentor for photographers. She helps talented but overworked photographers get back in touch with the artists they want to be where they work with dream clients without having to work too much. She does this by helping them build their confidence and set boundaries, and teaching them to charge what their work is worth through a 7-step program so that they can make a living from their creativity.

Today I’m so excited because I’m chatting with Gary Pope all about how to grow your associate team. Gary shares his story as to how and why he added associates to his team, how they have helped increased his annual revenue, and why he plans to make a new brand just for his associates. A little bit about Gary, he is the owner of Love Long and Prosper Photography and is based in Connecticut. Early on Gary established himself as a hyper-niched photographer and as a result, he doesn’t look at other photographers as competition, industry trends, or their prices as he now runs a successful 6-figure photography business.
