How Nicole Tripled Her Photo Income as a Mom 

Listen on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcasts

Are you wondering if it’s possible to build a photography business as a mom? I’m so excited to share my conversation with Nicole Watford. She is a former teacher turned photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, and baby’s first year based in Columbia, South Carolina. Nicole is a mom of 2 and has built her business alongside motherhood

During our conversation, Nicole shares her transition from teaching to photography, as well as balancing business with motherhood and her evolution into a full-service photography model. 

Nicole talks about the success she’s had increasing her revenue while being able to serve fewer clients and, in turn, give them a higher experience. She emphasizes the importance of knowing your numbers, setting long-term goals, and aligning your business with your personal values, especially in motherhood. For Nicole, this meant making intentional choices that aligned with her family goals and allowed her to build a business that valued time with her family above anything else. 

Nicole’s story is a reminder that if you’re willing to stay focused and stay true to yourself and your values, you can create a business that supports your dreams and your family. 

In this episode, we chat about:

• Nicole’s journey going from teacher to photographer 
• Where she started with her pricing and offerings and what her business looks like now with full-service 
• The importance of knowing your numbers 
• Nicole’s advice on if you’re feeling stuck
