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!

Today, he’s known not only for great images but for championing diversity and inclusion in the wedding and event industry.We talk about:* Moving beyond “friends and family” clients and building real momentum* Attracting ideal clients by focusing on the best and letting go of the rest* The 3 key questions to help define your niche and guide your success* Why representation matters — and how to make sure clients feel truly seen and welcomedChip reminds us that success is like a train — slow at first… then unforgettable once it picks up steam.
