Do you LOVE photography but feel totally overwhelmed trying to turn it into a real, money-making business?
You're not alone — most photographers aren’t natural-born business pros. The creative part? Easy. But the business part...that’s where it gets tough. That is exactly why I created The Profitable Photographer. Every week, I bring you fun and heart centered conversations with top photographers and industry experts who share their best ACTIONABLE marketing and photography sales strategies, “inner game” shift tools that clear our roadblocks to success, and all the business wisdom they've learned along the way.
Plus, I hop on the mic solo to share the ups, downs, and lessons from my own 40 years behind the camera (and behind the business).
Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your already-successful photography business, (and have lot more fun) you’ll find honest talk, practical tips, and loads of inspiration to help you thrive — not just survive — as a professional photographer.
So let’s dive in, get inspired, and build the photography career of your dreams!

It was fun to chat with another California photographer, Jeff Galinovsky, all about the business side of photography. He has been at it since 1988 (yep, with a Minolta Maxxum 7000!) and now runs a thriving business in high-volume sports, senior and family portraits, corporate branding, and events. He’s a CPP, Master of Photography, President of the Professional Photographers of Sacramento Valley, and an instructor with McKay Photography Academy.His recent trip with McKay was to Mongolia, and you really want to see the amazing photos on his Facebook page!Jeff and I dig into what it really takes to go full-time in photography—spoiler: it’s not about quitting on a whim. He shares how he prepared, got mentoring, leaned on professional organizations, and built a foundation that allowed him to succeed long-term.We also cover:* Planning ahead and thinking big-picture for your business* Multiple streams of income vs. specializing (and why both can work)* Business basics: legal setup, customer service, target market, marketing, and pricing* Why mentors, community, and continuous learning are game-changers If you want to grow a photography business that lasts for decades, this conversation will give you a roadmap.Find Jeff here:Website: jeffgalinovskyphotography.comEmail: jeff@jeffgalinovskyphotography.comLinkedIn: Jeff GalinovskyConnect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: * Website (https://lucidumascoaching.com/) * Email: luci@lucidumas.com (mailto:luci@lucidumas.com)* Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/theprofitablephotographer_pod/) * Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/LuciDumasCoaching)* YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCut3Qk6t6Z2DUJYEYGSCfKA)New episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.
