#137: Slow Season? Do THIS

I’ve been hearing from so many photographers lately that they feel bookings are slow right now. Their inquiries are down, and they’re not booking as much as usual.

And while these seasons can be very challenging, I know from experience that sitting in your feelings is only helpful for so long. If you are needing to provide for your family, it’s okay for it to feel discouraging, but you also can’t just keep waiting around. Instead, you need to take action and do something about not booking as much business. That is what this episode is about.

I’m exploring reasons behind fewer bookings, mindset shifts to make, and key money-making strategies to implement to help with this season.
