Why I decided to start an associate photography team

Back in June 2019, I launched my online course, Build an Associate Photography Team, for the first time ever. With so many messages asking when it’ll be available again, I decided booking/engagement season is the perfect time to open it back up to you all!

SO, it’s officially BACK! Read more about it here.

If you’ve been on the fence deciding whether it’s time or not for you hire associates, here are 3 reasons I decided it was time for me when I launched my team back in 2016.

• I was pregnant with my daughter, Lily!

  • Like most new mommas know, motherhood flips our lives around. Priorities get shifted and I knew I didn’t want to spend all her newborn days away shooting weddings. So I lessened my personal wedding amount and made up for it with associates!

• i moved to a new state.

  • I had spent time building up my business name in the previous state I lived in, but wanted to focus my efforts on my new state. With being a new mom, the less travel between the states I could do, the better! So I hired someone as an associate to cover that area.

• I wanted to scale my business.

  • There was only so much more I could’ve taken on myself to get to the “next level”. Launching an associate team just seemed brilliant to me. My business income doubled in my first year of having associates.

  In the course, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know (that I had to learn the hard way since it was hardly anywhere on the internet)

to successfully hire, train, market, and lead your associate photographers. I’m here to save ya a few headaches along the way!
