305 - Using a Studio to Grow Your Photography Business with Michelle McAfee
Manage episode 468332440 series 2931302
Most photographers assume that if they don’t shoot in a studio, they don’t need one. But what if a studio space could be so much more than just a backdrop for sessions?
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Michelle McAfee, a photographer who turned her studio into so much more than just a place to shoot. She shares how she transitioned from using her space exclusively for client sessions to creating a studio membership model—one that serves other photographers and small business owners, boosts her marketing, and generates additional revenue.
We talk about:
- Why a studio space is more than just four walls—it’s a business growth tool
- How Michelle transformed her studio into a community hub for creatives
- Smart ways to monetize and maximize a studio beyond client work
- What to consider before renting or buying a studio space
- Creative marketing ideas for leveraging a studio to attract more clients
If you’ve ever considered opening a studio, renting one, or simply using a studio more effectively, this episode will open your eyes to all the possibilities.
