287 - What do you do when someone in your market is offering free sessions and $15 files? You listen to this episode, that’s what.
Deep breath, my friend. In this episode, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation about how to thrive in a saturated market—even when someone is giving away sessions practically for free. If you’ve ever doubted whether clients will pay more, this is for you.
What to Listen For:
- Why low-cost photographers aren’t a threat to your high-end business
- The mindset shift that frees you from price competition
- How to attract clients who want to invest in custom artwork
- What your $2,000+ clients truly value (hint: it’s not a bargain)
- The real reason people pay more—and it’s not just “better photos”
- How to stop worrying about what others charge
- The power of differentiation in a saturated market
- How to build a service that low-cost photographers can’t compete with
- Why cheap photography often repels your ideal clients (and that’s a good thing)
This episode is your permission slip to stop stressing about the $15 digital file photographer in your area. Instead, focus on building a boutique business that attracts clients who value quality, service, and the full experience. 💫
