Listen on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcasts

If you’ve ever wondered if it’s possible to focus on wedding photography while seamlessly adding in portrait sessions, then let me tell you – it is! Today, I have successful high-end wedding and portrait photographer, Elizabeth (Liz) Nord who is based in Jackson, Tennessee. She is a past student of mine and she shares how she went from charging $500 per session to having a $5k portrait sale on her FIRST sale offering products.

We dive into the significance of providing full-service photography and the impact of offering prints, albums, and wall art rather than just digitals. Liz also emphasizes the importance of personal touchpoints, having an individualized approach, and the importance of offering clients a personalized, stress-free experience.

She also shares how her business has grown financially, increasing her income from $75k in 2022 to an amazing $125k in 2023, while only shooting 8 weddings due to the strategic addition of full-service portrait sessions.

This episode is sure to inspire you on the transformative possibilities within the realm of wedding and portrait photography!
