Turning Frustration into Fuel: Harnessing Change and Growth in Your Photography Business with Fiona Margo

The Art & Soul Show - Photography Podcast for Newborn and Family Photographers

Pricing your business is about the numbers, sure, but it’s also about your emotions. Self-worth, imposter syndrome, uncertainty - all of those things can play a part when deciding on your pricing structure for your photography business. But what if there was a simple way to align your pricing?

In today’s episode, I’m interviewing Fiona Margo, an adventurous motherhood and newborn photographer in the Seattle area, who shares how she uses resentment to measure her pricing packages (yes, you read that right!), how to create a marketing plan that works, and whether or not Instagram is still a viable marketing tool.

What’s in this episode:
