When clients keep choosing the cheap photographer over you... 21.01.2026 31:38
The most discouraging feeling (or one of them) is when photography clients come at you saying things like "Sorry, you're just a bit out of our budget, and we decided to go with another photographer for our wedding instead. But we wish you the best in your business, anyway!" Feels like a gut punch, doesn't it? Let's break down how to manage something like this, and what to do or think when this hap...

"Everyone is an artist until rent is due." 17.12.2025 14:18
I heard this quote recently ("everyone is an artist until rent is due") and it got me thinking... Is this true? Are we all just purebred artists at our core? Do we default to creating beautiful art when we are NOT in need, and NOT stressed, and NOT short on time? And if so, how do we unlock those things? What does this say about us as a species? Press play to hear my answers to these questions. ;)...

Stop checking other photographer's prices, and do this instead! 22.10.2025 37:58

Photography is not "solving client problems." It's this... 08.10.2025 32:49
Today's episode stems from a question that I recently got asked on a coaching call. A student asked how to let a potential client know that they absolutely NEED them (the photographer) to solve their (the client's) problems. But as I got to thinking, that might actually be the wrong question... Let's unpack this in today's episode! ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program: THE...
“Clients seem excited, but then ghost. WHY?” 01.10.2025 40:13

Discipline isn’t "doing all the things you hate." It's THIS... 15.09.2025 10:21
For years I saw "discipline" as the enemy. I thought it was just "doing the stuff I didn't want to do." I was wrong. In fact, it's something completely different. I think this mindset will change the way you think about discipline, and hopefully it can make this word your new best friend. ;) ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program: THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT...
