About this event



From Creative Vision to Financial Success: The Photography Business Blueprint Workshop

Ready to turn your passion into a profitable, sustainable photography business? This 4-hour, hands-on workshop will give you a clear, data-driven roadmap to build confidence in your pricing, expenses, and marketing—so you can stop guessing and start growing.

You’ll learn how to set realistic income goals, track expenses that actually fuel growth, and identify exactly how many sessions you need each month to hit your targets. Plus, you’ll leave with a personalized 2026 financial plan, plug-and-play tracking templates, and the confidence to make smart business decisions that protect your passion and fund your creative freedom.

Perfect for part-time photographers ready to scale and full-time photographers earning under $100K who want breakthrough strategies.

Because knowing your numbers isn’t just about profit—it’s about creating the freedom to do the work you love.
