Join us as we count down some of our top episodes- as we get ready to start a new season.
Ever wondered how choosing a single word could revolutionize your year? This week on "Mindset and Money Mastery for Photographers," we dive into the game-changing practice of selecting a "word of the year" to transform your weakest skill into a newfound strength. Drawing from my personal experiences, I unravel how external influences led me to dread writing and running. Discover how identifying and mastering these dreaded areas can turn your weaknesses into strengths and even spark unexpected enjoyment.
Imagine dedicating an entire year to one word that guides both your personal and professional growth. In this episode, I share how words like writing, marketing, and balance have shaped past years, and reveal the struggle in choosing this year's word until my husband's choice of "intention" inspired me. I provide practical advice on keeping your word top of mind with visual reminders and resources, and I encourage you to share your own word with me on Instagram.
We also highlight the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and consistent self-check-ins to fuel your growth journey. Listen in for actionable tips on writing daily gratitudes, celebrating small victories, and even giving yourself a motivational high five in the mirror. Let's embrace these practices together to enhance our well-being and progress throughout the year. Plus, find out how to support the podcast, connect on social media, and join our free Facebook group for photographers looking to tune up their business skills.

Discover how one photographer doubled her sales average with tweaks to her process after already being in business for ten years. Corrie Lindroos, a portrait photographer from Canada specializing in horses, families, and headshots, shares her remarkable transformation from struggling with just six sessions per year to confidently booking 40 annual clients while actually working fewer hours.
The secret wasn't in complex marketing strategies or raising prices, but in counterintuitive techniques like completely eliminating her price list (with no clients ever asking for it), systematizing her workflow, and making subtle changes to her sales approach. Within days of implementing these changes, Kori's average jumped from $1800-2200 to $3800, and she began selling albums for the first time in a decade.
What makes Corrie's journey particularly powerful is her initial skepticism. "I don't think these little tiny changes are really going to make that big of a deal," she remembers thinking before seeing the results firsthand. Now she advocates for following proven systems exactly as taught: "Just do exactly what Karinda says, how she says to do it. Just trust that what she's saying is going to work."
Perhaps most surprising is how Corrie maintains authentic connections while dramatically increasing sales. As a self-described "small town girl" who's "a little rough around the edges," she shares how finding her deeper "why" helps her confidently recommend photography services without feeling "sleazy" - even at personal events like her father's memorial, where she realized the profound importance of family portraits after having no adult photos with her dad.
Through practical examples like drop-shipping products directly from labs (saving time and money) to implementing systematic marketing approaches, this episode offers tangible strategies any photographer can implement immediately to transform their business while creating more freedom and financial success.

What does a 13-year journey of building a thriving photography business actually look like? Not the polished highlight reel we see on social media, but the raw, unfiltered truth—complete with struggles, pivotal moments, and breakthroughs.
In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on my evolution from a college student making $35 prints to running a multi-faceted photography enterprise with three distinct branches. You'll discover how my business now encompasses high-end equine portraits, volume dance studio photography, and nationwide horse show coverage—all managed with surprisingly simple systems and minimal staff.
The journey wasn't easy. I vividly recall the early days—meeting clients at Starbucks with printed proofs, calling my mom excitedly after an $800 sale, then ending the year wondering where all the money went. For years I followed conventional photography business advice without understanding the deeper principles behind it. The real transformation came when I started studying business, marketing, and pricing from experts outside the photography industry and—most critically—when I finally addressed the mindset issues keeping me locked at a certain income level.
Perhaps most valuable are the lessons learned from my mistakes. I share the four specific factors that keep photographers trapped with low-paying clients (averaging $300-$800 sales) and reveal what actually unlocked the door to consistent $5,000+ client experiences. This isn't theoretical advice—it's battle-tested wisdom from someone who built a business from nothing, once lived in a camper to make ends meet, and now enjoys a thriving photography career.
Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck at a frustrating income plateau, this episode offers both practical guidance and heartfelt encouragement. Success as a photographer is absolutely possible, and your journey doesn't have to be as long or difficult as mine was.
Join me on May 20th at 7:30pm for a special training where I'll dive deeper into breaking through those low-paying client barriers. Let's build the photography business you deserve—one that serves both you and your clients extraordinarily well.
