Sustainable Freedom with Boudoir Photography Podcast
{Returning Soon } How do I get more clients in my photography business? When should I raise my prices? Can I make enough money with photography to support my family? What are the best ways to advertise my photography business? Which business model is best for my photography business? And the most asked question of all, can I really charge more, work less, and enjoy photography on a deeper creative level? Whether you’re a newbie photographer, it’s your side hustle, or you’re a seasoned pro, this show was made for you. The Sustainable Freedom with Photography Podcast helps photographers get out of their ruts, sticking points, and holdups, because too many have traded in their 9-to-5 jobs for 24-7 hustles. We’ll shake off those feelings of uncertainty and self-doubt to uncover the business you’ve been dreaming about—and give it the TLC it needs to thrive, without you working (or wandering) in overdrive. Host Tracy Lynn brings you marketing and business strategies, productivity tips, inspirational stories, and hard truths, but she does it with kindness, compassion, and empathy—earning the trust of photographers all over the world. She also shares actionable advice she used to build her seven figure boudoir photography studio in Saint Louis, MO working just 30 hours a month. Along with sharing this wealth of knowledge, she also interviews women creatives in the industry who support photographers, as well as past clients, and other photographers who’ve achieved some of their biggest goals.

Working two days per month and having 28 days off sounds like a dream come true, right?
Smart scheduling. What’s that? Well that’s my secret to being a six-figure photographer while only having to work two days per month!
I can easily photograph 8-10 clients in a day, depending on the time of year, and that means I can make $10k in one day.
Believe me when I say this is NOT for everyone… but it’s what works for me and my lifestyle.
I tend to say “my business is a well-oiled machine.” And it is just that. So let’s visit how a session day works.

In 2022, I’m on track to be a six-figure photographer (for the 7th year in a row) while only working 18 days in 2022. This is possible because I have built my business with strategy and intention, and you can do the same.
Being able to say I’m a six-figure photographer while only working 18 days has been years in the making. Earlier in the year, while goal setting, I decided I only wanted to be in the studio 6 or 7 times total.
This was possible for me because I don’t have to hold my retoucher’s hand and my scheduling workflow is super streamlined, while my website books clients for me on autopilot.
This gives me sustainable freedom, which we all know is something I believe wholeheartedly in, while still bringing in a great salary.
