“Change is scary... but what is even scarier - regret”
- unknown
Molly Marie Keyser was the owner of Boudie Shorts, and walked away to start something brand new in the entrepreneurial space.
Molly grew a photo studio to multiple 6 figures and others were asking her how she did it. She turned her steps into a profitable online course, grew her online boudoir photography education company to two million per year, and was able to help thousands of photographers around the world in the process!
More recently Molly felt a pull to serve on a larger level and pivoted her business to now help service-based business owners add a profitable online course to their business.
I wanted to share Molly with you because I respect and admire that she not only a successful photography business but also a massive online boudoir education platform, and she made the brave decision to walk away, hang up her camera, close her studio and start something new.
I know personally, that fear can often get in the way of making changes "what will people think” and ignoring your inner feelings.
In today's episode, we unpack so much goodness, on listening to your inner voice about when to pivot, and how you can make adaptability your superpower.

You may have heard about a new genre of photography for Entrepreneurs, Small businesses & Influencers. Consumable photography to help clients, connect & build their Personal Brands.
Marketing powerhouse Jamie Swanson saw the potential in this new industry and made it her mission to educate photographers on how they can add in this service, or pivot their entire business to a profitable and rewarding new genre.
Personal branding photography is beyond headshots or glamour photography. It's about understanding and connecting with your ideal client, building relationships, and creating ongoing revenue for photographers.
I wanted to share Jamie with you because I know from first-hand experience how hard it can be to get your own personal brand photos, and how the Personal Branding Photography industry is still just in its infancy with the online business space still growing, with so much potential for photographers. But even more, I love Jamies' ability to assess situations, see an opportunity, and then take action on trying new things and pivoting.
This episode is chock-full of tips and advice if you are someone who has been curious about how it all works, mind-set shifts that photographers need to consider, and where to start.
