Glowup

Know your numbers & start charging what you’re worth—so you can make more money and run a profitable, sustainable business.

“I love shooting every single weekend & staying up til 2 a.m. every night editing!”

Yet far too many photographers operate their business that way. Why? Because they think it’s the only way they’ll be able to pay the bills. 

But running your business like that is unsustainable. You’re quickly headed for burnout if you aren’t able to cut back your workload—or at least cut yourself a healthy paycheck.

^^ Said no one ever.

How you price your services can make or break your success.

Knowing Your Expenses

We get it—it’s scary to add up all those subscriptions you pay for and tally up how much you pay your second shooters. But without knowing your business’s finances inside and out, you’ll never know what you NEED to make in order to be profitable.

Your “Get Out of Bed” Rate

Simply put? Some jobs aren’t worth getting out of your pajamas for. But how do you know which inquiries are worth taking and which ones are worth turning down?

Raising Your Prices

You’ve gotta know when it’s time to raise your prices and how to do it effectively—without losing all your clients.

Because how you set your prices not only impacts how much money you’re putting in the bank, but it also reflects how potential clients perceive your value.

What if you could have a sustainable, profitable business with clients who value and pay you what you’re worth?

You need a solid pricing strategy and financial plan that leads to consistent bookings and income. ‘Cause what’s the point of working as hard as you do if you’re not even profitable? Imagine being able to confidently state your prices—knowing exactly what you need to charge in order for it to be worth your time—and establish a plan to hit your goals. You’d have a financial roadmap tailored to your lifestyle and your vision for your business, NOT based on your competition’s.

No—we’re not going to tell you to double your prices overnight.

There’s no such thing as an overnight success, and there’s also not a (successful) overnight leap from booking $3k weddings to $25k. You already know that nearly 50% of small businesses fail within the first five years. And we don’t remind you of that to scare you, but it should be a reminder that whole entrepreneur thing we’re doing? It’s not easy! 

But not having a clear understanding of the financial health of your business (and a solid plan to grow it) is a road that leads straight to closing up shop. You don’t want that, and we don’t want that for you!

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PRICING WITH CONFIDENCE AND CLARITY.

^^ That right there would be a surefire way to stop booking anything at all. 

Introducing

The Pricing
Glowup

A comprehensive course specifically designed for photographers—so you can confidently price your services, improve your money mindset, and work toward your financial goals—with actionable, practical strategies you can implement right away.

Yes! I need this!

The next-best thing to having a personal pricing coach guiding you every step of the way.

We’ve taught this exact pricing method to hundreds of students, and it’s a bestseller for a reason: because it works.

You'll walk away with:

  • Clear understanding of your pricing and market value
  • Actionable strategies to build and price your collections
  • Techniques to confidently raise your prices when the time is right

01

Transforming Your Money Mindset

Start with a strong foundation by shifting your mindset toward abundance. In Module 1, you'll discover how your mindset shapes every pricing decision and learn strategies to transform it for maximum profit. This module will cover identifying and overcoming mindset blocks, practical exercises for daily mindset shifts, and the power of thinking and the law of attraction. By getting into the right headspace, you'll be better equipped to attract high-paying clients, achieve your pricing goals, and support long-term business growth.

What's inside:

02

Pricing with Purpose

It’s time to stop basing your pricing on guesswork and assumptions. In Module 2, you'll learn how to set your prices based on real data and facts, ensuring that your rates reflect your true value and positively impact your local industry. We'll explore the significant effect your pricing has on your community, when to use packages versus custom collections, how to identify your market value, and the right time and method to raise your prices. This foundational module equips you with the knowledge to price confidently and strategically, setting the stage for sustainable business growth.

03

The Nitty-Gritty Numbers

Do you really know your business’s financials and how much you’re actually earning? In Module 3, you’ll learn how to accurately calculate the time and money invested in each wedding or session, empowering you to charge what you’re worth and restructure your pricing from the ground up. We’ll dive into the details of understanding your numbers, introduce a fool-proof model for effectively pricing your talent and time, and guide you through building collections (and the difference in approach when sending to planners vs. the couple directly!).

IT’S TIME TO CHARGE WHAT YOU’RE WORTH—once and for all.

We’re saying “no more” to:
+ simply guessing at what your pricing should be, instead of basing it on cold, hard FACTS.
+ changing your pricing based on what your competition is charging
+ or letting your money mindset blocks dictate what you THINK you can charge.

what students are saying

“When it happened, I legit cried.”

“ATTENTION WORLD: Way back when, I took the Pricing Glowup and raised my prices. It took a fairly long time to book my first wedding at my new worth, but when it happened, - I legit cried. It was honestly the best feeling being recognized at what you know you deserve. Now, I've booked 3 more weddings this week at my new pricing - might book a 4th today! I'm feeling so grateful for Charla and Jenn. I'm super excited that I might actually be able to pay myself a livable wage and quit my 9-5 desk job soon. IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE THE PRICING CHALLENGE YET, DO IT.” —Sarah Lord

“Thank you so much for giving me the confidence and the support to charge what I deserve.”

"I just booked my second wedding above $10k! The first time this happened, my imposter syndrome was telling me that it was by accident. But now that it's happening for a second time, I feel really good! Thank you so much for giving me the confidence and the support to charge what I deserve.”
