Valentines Only Around the Corner

Valentine’s Day might be over on the calendar — but for smart photographers, it starts way earlier.

In this episode, we break down why most photographers miss easy bookings, how existing clients are your most underused growth lever, and why event-based marketing creates stress unless you know how to use it properly.

From client psychology and communication preferences to evergreen marketing, continuity, and even AI recommendations — this conversation challenges common assumptions and reframes how photographers should think about marketing, timing, and client relationships.

If you want more repeat clients, less pressure, and smarter growth, this episode is required listening.
