In the adventurous journey of building a photography business, the path is often winding and filled with unknowns. It’s a journey of epic landscapes, dreamy sessions, and so much potential to grow personally and in business. But even the most adventurous souls can find themselves lost in the business wilderness. 

I am a seasoned six-figure elopement photographer, that has blazed trails through the wild terrain of destination weddings. Now, I am channeling my expertise as a photography business coach to guide budding photographers and ambitious creatives on their unique paths. 

While you may definitely think I’m biased in the question, here’s why you should consider hiring a photography business coach!

The Value of Investing in a Business Coach

When you think about investing in a photography business coach, don’t think of it as just a monetary decision. It’s also about the commitment to growing and scaling your business to new heights (from booking your very first client to learning how to grow your own team and more!). 

It’s choosing to navigate the competitive terrain of photography with someone who already knows the way and can make the journey much easier and more profitable. Someone who’s been there, done that, and has success stories from others to prove it. Success stories are important so you know that the coach can actually replicate their strategy and it wasn’t a one-hit wonder that only worked on their business!

Is It Worth Paying for a Business Coach?

Absolutely. The question isn’t whether you can afford to hire a photography business coach; it’s whether you can afford not to. Not investing in your growth can cost you much more in the long run—missed opportunities, stagnated growth, and the continuous cycle of trial and error. A photography business coach isn’t just an expense; it’s a strategic investment in your future success.

What Does a Photography Business Coach Do?

There are many coaches that offer many different things, so I can really only speak for what I offer as a photography business coach.

As a mentor, I guide you through the strategic aspects of your business and also provide personalized feedback on your work, helping you refine your art and all things business backend. In The Trailblazer’s Academy, I offer a blend of 1:1 and group coaching sessions, live Q+As, and dedicated support from a team of specialists in website design, Pinterest and SEO, and editing.

You’re not just getting a coach; you’re getting a team dedicated to your success. Plus, with regular homework and content reviews, you’re ensured that your journey is on the right path, optimizing every step of the way.

Investing Vs. Not Investing

When faced with the decision to invest in a photography business coach, consider the long-term impact. Without guidance, you risk wandering in circles, potentially costing you more in missed revenue and wasted time than the investment in coaching. Remember, when you’re not investing money, you’re investing your time and energy, and that’s also a huge resource!
