Erin and I absolutely love connecting with other photographers; it’s why we lead the San Diego PUG, why we participate in Shootouts, and why we began doing the FAQ Posts here on our blog. We remember what it was like when we were first starting out, and we remember the overwhelming feeling of being completely lost in a sea of information. Wondering how to reach our ideal bride, how in the world to set up our workflow, how to bring out that natural beauty in our clients during our shoots – and, oh yeah, build a solid working business and a marketable brand at the same time!
Believe me, we’ve been right where many of you are…
There’s endless resources available out there, but the thing that was most valuable to us was when other photographers took their time to sit down with us personally, privately, away from the crowd and noise, and answer our endless sea of questions with a no judgment/anything goes attitude. This, by far, affected our business the most within its deepest, most important elements, and gave us the tools we needed to lift our business to each new level of success.
So that’s why we’re so excited to announce that we’re ready to start offering private, 1:1 workshops with photographers who NEED it. We want to know that one piece of y our business that you are struggling with the most, and we want to help you fix it. Is it branding? Your post-processing? Your workflow? Your client interaction during shoots? Every single one of us has that hidden piece of our business lives that we know needs help, and that we know is holding us back – but many times we either don’t know how to fix it, or are too afraid to let someone else in to fix.
What you’ll get is 6 hours of 1 on 1 time with The Youngrens which we’ll customize to your specific needs. Anything you want to learn about is fair game, including shooting, processing, blogging, branding, marketing, gear-head-talk, portfolio review, workflow – we’ll put it all out on the table, and we’ll do it at your specific pace. If you’d like an intense lesson on shooting technique, we’ll grab a couple and head out with our cameras. If you’d like to learn the ins-n-outs of building a workflow, we’ll teach you how to build one specifically for you. Seriously, its all about you and your specific, felt needs.
