Ever wondered if you’re truly a “professional photographer” without a commercial space?
Laura Smith from Laura Ridley Photography in New Zealand pondered this very question.
Her dream was always to transition from her home studio to a bustling commercial space with all the bells and whistles, aiming to build a team and turn over +$1,000,000.
BUT… Is having a commercial studio space and a team all really stacked up to what it sounds? Does the reality match the dream?
Laura’s been through quite the journey: from a home studio to a flashy commercial space, back home, and then back to commercial and now back to her home studio, where she’s rediscovered her love for Photography and her business again.
It’s a rollercoaster of lessons in mindset, costs, teamwork, marketing, pricing, dealing with ego and so much more.
Tune in to hear firsthand what it takes, the dos and don’ts, and lessons learned from
someone who’s been through it all.”
