last week someone asked me “how can I take 6 weeks off without losing momentum in my business?” and it got me thinking...

most people asking that question are asking the wrong question tbh.

The real question is: do you actually know how to CREATE momentum in the first place? Because once you do, pausing it isn’t scary.

Most business owners panic about consistency because they don’t actually know what they’re doing in their marketing. (And tbh I was here too for years.)

They’re posting because they’re scared NOT to post. They’re showing up because they don’t know what’ll happen if they stop. Imo that’s not momentum, that’s anxiety!!!! lollll.

Real momentum is when you can step back for any amount of time, come back, and turn the dial up again because you know exactly which dials to turn.

You know what to post. You know what converts. You know what kind of inquiries you want and how to attract them. You’re not guessing.

So when I’m leaning in HARD during my busy seasons, I’m building the kind of runway that lets me pull back when I want to without it costing me a damn thing.

So I guess my whole point is, if you learn how to create momentum in your biz, it’s not scary to step back sometimes??

The best referral you’ll ever get is not someone saying “oh you should hire Maddie, she’s great.”

The best referral is when you shoot a session on Thursday and it goes so well that your client can’t shut up about it at happy hour on Friday. To people who didn’t even ask.

THAT is what happens when your sessions are built around strategy and not just vibes. When you’re not just showing up and making someone look pretty — you’re creating images they can actually use to grow their business.

The ROI is so obvious that they can’t help but talk about it.

And when THAT is the conversation happening at happy hour? You don’t need to chase referrals. You don’t need to send awkward “would you mind leaving me a review?” emails. You don’t need to beg for IG tags. Your work is doing the marketing for you.

THAT’S THE MF SPICEEEE. Build sessions that are so strategic, so intentional, and so results driven that your clients become your marketing department FOR YOU.

I’m teaching my exact 3-part framework for building sessions like this inside my free masterclass Sessions That Sell on June 25th.

If a brand photography client doesn’t have an office or their office space is particularly… difficult to shoot in… I usually try to set up a mock office in a studio.

BUT SOMETIMES THAT JUST CAN’T HAPPEN.

And in that case, you’ve got to know how to use flash & edit so that the images look pro (I mean that is your job lol).

I’m teaching you exactly how to do this and how to become a strategic brand photographer so you can get booked for the big $$$ inside my brand new masterclass, SESSIONS THAT SELL.

Class is on June 25 at noon CST—comment SELL and I’ll send you the link!

When I first started doing brand photography, I thought it was just taking some lifestyle photos with a laptop and calling it brand photography.

I’d deliver gorgeous galleries to my clients and then... crickets. They’d say “I love these, they’re beautiful!” and then never use them.

I tried truly everything Loom videos walking them through their galleries (mostly unwatched), Canva templates so they could use their photos (didn’t get used), even post-session content planning calls (no one booked them).

Then I realized my clients didn’t need help with using their photos after the session. They needed it before.

They needed someone to sit down with them and ask the right questions so we could create the exact shots they needed to make their branding and marketing easier.

Brand photography isn’t about taking pretty photos. It’s about understanding your client’s business, their ideal client, and their goals so you can create images that actually make them money.

While I have loved EVERY brand session I’ve personally had, the difference in planning from my first to my most recent is night and day. Now, we spend weeks working through current offers, my ideal client, and client journey. Every image has a job before I even receive the gallery.

I’m teaching the exact 3 layer framework I use for this in a FREE masterclass. When you nail all three, your clients use their photos, send referrals, and rebook and your own work starts marketing you.

Been yapping for a decade and it hasn’t gotten any prettier 😅😅😅

BUT it does get easier and I’ve gotten better. And tbh, I’ve also just got a higher tolerance for being awkward and uncomfortable in front of a camera—and I think that’s worth spending too!

If you’re just starting out with yap content, messing up or feeling awkward doesn’t mean you’re doing anything bad. It’s just the price of visibility 😘 keep going!

If this makes you uncomfortable imagine how I feel 🤣🤣 I’ve been making content like this for 10 years and I could compile QUIIIIITE the blooper reel 💀 If you’re just getting started with this kind of content and you’re terrible at it, or it feels awkward, CONGRATS! You’re doing it right 😉

I live in the midwest. Everything here is brown. All of the ceilings are drop ceilings. And none of that scares me when it comes to brand photography.

I used to compare myself to California photographers and think “of course your photos look like that.”

But then I realized I’M IN CHARGE of making these locations look good.

Your clients aren’t building their offices to look aesthetic like Selling Sunset (surprise!!) they’re normal businesses. But you can still make them look incredible.

This is what flash is for. This is what planning is for. This is what being a professional photographer means.

Your clients aren’t asking you to make their office not look like their office. They just want it to look the best it possibly can.

This is all part of my 3 layer SESSIONS THAT SELL strategy for crafting brand sessions that get you booked, referred, and worth more $$$.

Comment SELL to save your seat for June 25th!
