S14E03 | European clients want product too, and they’ll pay for them!
Today’s guest, Mareike Konrad was one of Europe’s first, if not the first, professional pet photographer. She started her business 12 years ago doing what most of you are doing today- selling digital only packages at unsustainable prices. She quickly realized that in order to put food on her table, something had to change. After reaching out to newborn photographers around the world to learn what worked for them, she introduced albums, wall art and other products too- and when she did- her clients thanked her!
Hear all about it in this weeks episode!

S14E01 | Booking clients all over Europe who choose YOU instead of a cheaper local photographer
If you are feeling like you’re stuck in an echo-chamber of information today’s guest is sure to show you a different way. I’m chatting with german photographer Anika Lauer.
She started off as a wedding photographer, then transitioned into pets and opened a studio space which she shares with a newborn photographer, even though she is now combining shooting with travel and often has clients out of town or even out of Germany!
If your ears perked up at travel.. You will love the strategy that Anika used to get her first few “international” clients, and it’s something you can do right now!
