What separates the photographers who stay consistently booked from those who struggle month to month?

In this episode, Ina sits down with Andrew Hellmich, host of the legendary PhotobizX Podcast and one of the most respected voices in the photography business world. After more than 600 interviews, Andrew has seen the patterns, the pitfalls, and the powerful habits that set successful photographers apart.

They dive into what’s actually working right now in 2025, why so many photographers overcomplicate marketing, and the surprisingly simple strategies that consistently generate more bookings, higher sales, and better clients.

Andrew also shares his insights on:

  • Why the fastest-growing photographers are willing to get people in front of their camera for free
  • How to turn cold interest into paid clients through an intentional process
  • What most photographers misunderstand about pricing and perceived value
  • The difference between “busywork” and revenue-generating activity
  • How high-performing studios nurture relationships and create repeat clients
  • Why photographers must prioritise experience over perfection

Ina and Andrew also unpack the psychology behind offers, the power of connection, and why real growth comes from showing up and serving, not shouting louder online.

Whether you’re a pet photographer or any portrait photographer wanting more consistency, this episode is packed with clarity, strategy, and mindset shifts you can implement straight away.
