About this episode

This episode discusses strategies for building repeat photography clients through relationship-driven income.

Repeat clients are what turn a photography business into something you can plan around, with families you photograph for years and a calendar that partly fills itself. In this best-of episode, Kim pulls four conversations from the archive that together map out how photographers build that kind of predictable, relationship-driven income. In This Episode Why baby plans solve real problems for families and how one photographer pitches a three-session plan that replaced her wedding income How a mini membership keeps past clients in the fold when they've priced out of full sessions Why noticing, remembering, and honoring the people in your community is the heart of lasting client relationships The simple practice of reaching out to past clients with no agenda and how it leads to families who return for over a decade How predictable, repeat income changes the way you plan your business year Whether you're building your first baby plan or rethinking how you stay connected to past clients, these four conversations offer a complete picture of retention done with heart. Enrollment in The Motherhood Anthology Membership is open right now, with 15 mentors, a new featured educator each month…
