137. From Zero Bookings to a Six-Figure Elopement Photographer with Kristin Smith

If you've been in the messy middle of your elopement photography business, you know how defeating it can feel. You're showing up, posting blogs, and running ads, but you're still not getting the bookings you've been hoping for. My returning guest, California-based elopement photographer Kristin Smith, has been there too. Fast forward to today, and she is officially a six-figure elopement photographer! 

 

In this episode, Kristin shares how she went from having zero bookings in 2025 to earning $105,000, and the year isn't even over! She dives into the mindset shifts that helped her move from scarcity to abundance and how learning to say no to unaligned clients created space for her dream couples.

 

Tune in now if you've been feeling stuck in your elopement photography business and you're ready to move away from the messy middle to thriving.
