My Journey

After a decade of dreaming about a career in photography, in 2020 I quit my job (thanks Covid) and took the plunge headfirst—without ever having had a paid client.

In two years, I grew my business from zero to earning A$75,000 working flexible hours around my young family and FIFO husband. I did this without any expensive professional branding, a website I built myself, and a nominal Instagram following.

I’ve also turned away loads of work — by choice, as I preferred to stay below the GST cap, whilst accepting only the work I am most drawn to. I work on my own terms, choose my own hours and set my own holidays. And I recently returned from an adventure-of-a-lifetime with my family, with the trust I could pick up where I left upon my return.

Sure, I’m confident now in my ability to take consistent and beautiful photos for my clients. But what makes me most proud, is the business I’ve built and my natural ability for being organised.

I put a lot of that down to programs like Studio Ninja. I’ve spent two years building and tweaking my templates to help provide my clients with a seamless communication experience that’s professional and efficient, whilst keeping me organised and focused as my business grows.

Studio Ninja is a wonderful CRM tool, and I’m offering access to my knowledge, experience and my templates from emails covering bookings to client prep and invoice reminders, workflows, questionnaires, product and invoice templates, basic contracts, I’ll set up your payment options and invoicing, email integration and more, so you can be confident this little biz of yours will look legit from day dot. And so you can focus on growing your portfolio, finding your clients and learning the art of sales.

I’m also proud to say I’m not a slave to the Instagram algorithm. Nor the constant pressure to post and churn out content. I have a nominal following (I only cracked 1,000 followers after two years!) with a significant percentage of my new leads coming from Google search and my SEO-driven Squarespace website.

If you’re serious about throwing everything into establishing your photography career and setting solid foundations for your business, let’s work together and fast-track your path to success.
