I know, I know! Another workshop you say??!! Well, this one is different! It’s on a Wednesday, for starters. Second of all, I can’t help myself. I love teaching, I love helping new photographers- well I like helping old ones too but then if I help the younger ones then when I am old maybe they can help me with my bags! I know Mike likes that one. So I came up with this seminar…
Contrary to popular belief-being a successful wedding photographer is about WAY more than just taking great pictures! Had I known this when I started I am not sure I would have done things the way I did them- but I had no choice! There was no amazing network of helpful photographers there is available today- that is for sure!
As a way to help ease you into your new business or to help you work out the kinks that are already there I have put together a comprehensive seminar to help guide you.
Here is an overview of what I will be going over- written in the third person- (which Carla totally loves)
Learn how to streamline your business while doing what you love most- taking pictures on the wedding day!
The blessing and the curse of owning your own business is, well, being your own boss! Throw on top of that the business side of things and you can imagine (and maybe you know from experience) how involved it really is.
If you are brand spanking new or have been doing weddings for even a few years there are still so many things to learn and grow from along the way. In her over 7 years of experience shooting weddings, Carla has learned some valuable things the hard way!
Hear how Carla streamlines her workflow, delegates the things she doesn’t need to do and has learned to let go of parts of her business in order to focus on what she loves most- her family- and taking pictures. And watching Elf. And Lost.
Carla will cover:
* web site / blog review and critique- how to know what to put on your site to attract the clients you want
* fine tune your pricing and packages
* marketing and advertising strategies, find what works for you
* so you found your clients! Learn how to run an effective client meeting and book them!
* take valuable control of the wedding day from the very first meeting
* maximize photo opportunities during the wedding day
* create a plan for the day that makes sense and that your clients will love and appreciate
* post wedding- establish a flow right from the start and keep your clients happy
* finding vendors that you love to work with
* most importantly- find a balance between your personal life and business- avoid getting overwhelmed right from the start
A lovely lunch and snacks are included, prepared by yours truly- not sure how to write that in the third person
Carla limits the class size to ten students . The seminar runs from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM out of her Hartford, CT studio.
It’s only $265 to reserve your seat! In order to secure your spot, payment is due as soon as possible. email our studio manager Dominique at info@carlateneyck.com
