FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
TIPS, TRICKS, & MORE
Over the last 12 years in business, a number of photographers reach out with questions related to their business. Since many are looking for similar tips and advice, I decided put some of the most popular information all in one spot.
Here are my tips, tricks, and advice on a variety of photography business topics.
Prop Destash
Like many photographers, I have a large prop collection. I also like to cycle out props regularly to make room for new props.
If you are looking for some props to add to your collection – most being new or like new – take a look at what it currently listed in my destash sale.
Props include: newborn backdrops, headbands, bonnets / hats, maternity dresses and gowns, milestone outfits, and more.
Amazon Shopping List
I’ve put together my favorite Amazon items in an easy to navigate place. From newborn sessions, maternity dresses, milestone session necessities, and must have equipment.
I have my go to items saved for easy shopping.
