Are you the “Black Diamond” in your photography community?

 

If you feel like you’re doing all the right things in your photography business (but you are still getting overlooked) no matter how beautiful your images are, clients keep choosing the cheaper photographer down the street…

 

Today, we’re changing that!

 

On this week’s Joycast, I’m breaking down what Black Diamonds can teach us about standing out, owning our value, and attracting clients who are excited to pay boutique prices.

 

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

 

💎 Why looking different is better than trying to be “perfect”.
💎 The #1 mistake photographers make when marketing themselves (and what to do instead!)
💎 How to position yourself as the must-have photographer in your market.

 

The truth? Your business isn’t struggling because of cheaper photographers in your area. It’s because you haven’t fully owned what makes you unique.

 

Click play now and let’s chat about how to make your business shine like the Black Diamond it is!
