Why Raising Your Prices Starts with Your Client Experience

What if raising your prices didn’t mean adding more stress to your plate? In this replay from Maddie Peschong’s Take It Personally podcast, I’m sharing how proposals, automations, and smart systems can help you deliver a high-touch client experience that actually makes it easier to charge more.

We talk about:

  • Why proposals are the secret to booking faster (and with less friction)
  • How automations can make your process feel more personal, not robotic
  • The biggest booking mistakes photographers make — and how to fix them
  • How systems uphold premium pricing without burning you out
