Posing Flow guide

As photographers, being in quarantine can leave us feeling helpless, scared, and confused on what we could possibly be doing for our businesses during this time.

I mean, we’re photographers. We work DIRECTLY with people.

And when we can’t photograph our clients, we can’t do our jobs.

…or can we?

Yes, it’s true that we can’t be out there doing actual photography sessions, or hosting in-person sales meetings, but there is so much more to running a photography business than shooting sessions.

This is a time to step into CEO-mode.

Right now, there are so many amazing people in our industry who have put together special resources, free (and super discounted) training to help you through this time.

We’ve compiled a list of ones we’ve recently see pop up (please feel free to leave us a note in the comments if you think there are others we should add to the list!)

Free Newborn Guide for Clients

If you missed it earlier, we put together a free guide you can send to your newborn clients who have had to reschedule their sessions. It offer simple tips and posing ideas they can use to capture this special moment at home, until they are able to come visit you for a future session.

Option 1: Done-for-you guide with images (PDF)
