About this episode

Rebecca Schmidt shares her journey from earning $34k to building a $3M boudoir photography business in three years.

Rebecca Schmidt runs a boudoir photography studio that photographs 70–85 clients every month and generated $3 million in revenue last year. Just three years earlier, she was a wedding and family photographer earning around $34,000 a year. In this episode, Rebecca shares how she pivoted into boudoir, built a team of 14, filled her calendar with paid advertising, and stepped away from shooting to focus on running the business. If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible when photography is run like a real company — not just a creative pursuit — this interview will open your eyes.
