How To Be A Photography Business Owner

How To Be A Photography Business Owner

Join me in my studio or online (this is a hybrid course) to learn how to lay a solid foundation and build an actionable plan towards legally making money with your camera. 

I specifically designed this class to provide experienced photographers, who aspire to earn money from photography, with accurate and relevant resources, lessons learned, and advice on establishing a legitimate photography business.  

I made a zillion mistakes and I want to help you avoid making them.


Here are some of the questions and insights we will explore:


- Where do I start and am I ready?
- What business structure is best for me?
- Do I need financing?
- What is a business plan and how do I write one?
- Do I need a license?
- What kind of taxes should I expect?

From my personal experience I will share:


- Tools I use to run my business
- How I market on Social Media Platforms
- Understanding your value
- Building a Brand
- How I grew my client base
- Common mistakes to avoid as an entrepreneur
- Where to find support

When starting your own business, you don’t know what you don’t know and there many steps to complete before you can call yourself a legitimate business. This class will give you a sense of important questions to ask and how to prepare.

This class is sponsored by Capital Photography Center and is periodically offered throughout the year based on demand, typically twice a year.

Alternatively, if you prefer a one-on-one version of this class you can purchase mentorship sessions here.
