In this video I’m breaking down five stepping stones that can take you from “I shoot on the side” to actually becoming a full-time photographer in 2026. If you’ve been dreaming about your own photography business but you don’t know where to start (or you started and got stuck), this is the roadmap I wish more people had. I’m talking about the practical stuff: how to think about your offer, how to get clients, and what to focus on so you’re not just busy—but building something that pays. I’m also very honest about the behind-the-scenes of making photography work as a career: money, habits, and the decisions that move the needle. This isn’t about buying more gear and hoping it magically turns into bookings. It’s about building a system you can repeat—so you can grow your income, pick a direction that fits you, and make your business sustainable long-term. If you want a clear next step after watching, I also share how you can book 1:1 coaching with me if you want personal guidance.
