Kids Photography Camps, School Photos, and Creative Offers to Support Your Business | My Interview on the Photo Fuel Podcast

I had the pleasure of joining Leah O’Connell on her podcast Photo Fuel, where we dug into one of my favorite aspects of photography—school photography.

Many family photographers think of school photography as a completely separate beast. For me, it’s become the backbone of my business in both revenue and marketing.

In this episode, “Kids Photography Camps, School Photos, and Creative Offers to Support Your Business,” we talk about how the real magic is in systems. We talked about how I developed a self-service help desk in Airtable to reduce the customer service load, something many photographers overlook until they’re deep in the weeds.

Here’s some things I shared in my episode:

• Education for adults: Teaching Photographers How to See Differently

• Running kids’ photography camps that actually inspire the camps build community, brand recognition, and even uncover unexpected opportunities (like connecting with a school principal!)

• Systems, outsourcing, and scaling a multi-offer business knowing which seasons support which offers, and not trying to scale all the things at once

This conversation is full of practical advice and encouragement for photographers looking to level up their skills and embrace their creative instincts. Whether you’re capturing newborns, families, or kids at preschools, there’s something in this episode to inspire your next shoot.
