One-on-One Mentoring for Equine Photographers
Being a great photographer doesn't automatically make you a great business owner. That's where Unbridled Business comes in.
I help equine photographers understand how the different parts of their business work together, recognize what's holding them back, and make decisions that fit their own goals.
Where this Actually Goes Sideways
The Problem Isn't Always What You Think It Is
You can spend a whole lot of time fixing things that weren't actually broken.
Change the pricing. Rewrite the website. Post more. Try a promotion. Buy a new CRM. Decide you hate the new CRM. Go back to the old CRM. Wonder if you just need to make more Reels.
We've all been there.
But more inquiries won't help much if the inquiries you're already getting aren't booking. New pricing won't solve a problem that's really about how you're explaining what you sell. And you don't need a brand-new workflow if the real issue is that you're rewriting the same six emails every time somebody books.
Before we start changing things, I want to understand what's happening in your business and what you're trying to build. Sometimes that means questioning what you think the problem is. Other times, it's giving you the knowledge and tools to do something better. Either way, we'll look at your options and figure out what makes sense for your goals.
What This Actually Is
Your Business. Not Someone Else's Formula.
This isn't a course. And it's definitely not a one-size-fits-all formula for running an equine photography business.
I'm not going to hand you my business model and tell you to copy it. After all, your clients aren't my clients. Your market isn't my market. Your goals aren't necessarily my goals. And something that works beautifully for one photographer can be a spectacular disaster for another.
This is you and me looking at your business, what you are trying to build, and what you want help with.
Sometimes that means questioning what you think the problem is. Other times, it's giving you the knowledge and tools to do something better. Either way, my goal isn't to tell you how to run your business. It's to help you understand your options and figure out what works for you.
What We Work Through
Pricing & Profitability: Are you actually making money from the work you're doing?
Marketing: Are the right horse owners finding you, and are you giving them a reason to pay attention?
Sales: Are inquiries turning into bookings? Are clients buying what you actually want to sell?
Client Communication: What are you saying before, during, and after the session, and where are clients getting confused?
Systems & Workflows: What can we simplify, repeat, template, or automate so your brain doesn't have to run the entire operation?
Website & Messaging: Can someone land on your website and quickly figure out what you do, who it's for, and what they're supposed to do next?
Business Direction: What are you actually trying to build, and does the stuff you're doing every week have anything to do with getting you there?
Not everything needs fixing. We'll focus on what you want to improve and what makes sense for your goals.
Why This Works
It's Hard to See Your Own Business From the Inside
You know your business from the inside. You know what you're trying to build, what you've tried, and what's been taking up your time.
Sometimes you need another perspective on what's happening. Sometimes you know what you want to improve and need help working out how to do it.
I'll help you look at the options and talk through what make sense for your business and your goals.
Why Me?
I've Been Doing Both Sides of This for a Long Time
Before I became a full-time photographer, I worked in marketing and business development.
Now I run Ride the Sky Equine Photography, photographing horses, riders, equestrian seniors, pets, and equestrian businesses.
So I understand marketing plans, target audiences, business strategy, pricing, client experience, and all the other business-y things.
I also understand what it's like when a client calls to tell you the horse rolled ten minutes before the session.
Both are useful.
I'm also the co-author of Equine & Equestrian Photography: Poses That Sell, a photography educator and speaker, and I've spent years helping photographers improve their businesses and their photography.
When we work together, we're not talking about business in theory.
We're talking about what actually makes sense when you're the person who has to go home and do it.
Who This Is For
This is for the Photographer Who Knows Something Needs to Change
You could be building your first real business systems and trying to avoid learning everything the hard way.
You could have been in business for years, but something that used to work isn't working anymore.
Your business could be growing faster than the way you've been running it can keep up.
Or you could simply be staring at the whole thing thinking, I know something isn't working, but I have no idea where to start.
You don't need to have the answer before we work together.
That's kind of the point.
Ready to Figure Out What's Actually Going On?
You don't need to fix your entire business before Tuesday.
You don't even need to know exactly what needs fixing.
Bring me the messy version. We'll look at what's working, what's not, what you're trying to build, and what deserves your attention first. Then we'll go from there
