Why I Created Doo Double

Why
My photography business took in a lot of experimental guess and gut in the first 4 years. I was excited about my new found love, but unsatisfied with everything I was seeing. I was getting clients, but burning out. I was not contended with the quality of my images, let alone encouraged by the income.

It was not until 6 years ago, after investing massively in my education to understand the creative business of photography and all that will make it profitable.

I soaked myself in hours of new knowledge about finance, service, editing, client management, and of course had to change a lot about my perception of what I do.

The results were not quick, but the fact that the foundations were already identified changed the hope in expectation.

The results were not quick, but the fact that the foundations were already identified changed the hope in expectation.
Why
I did it. Paid the price in things money could buy and money couldn’t buy. I re-invented myself. Even had to change my name at some point. Identified my niche, stayed at it. I increased my prices by 5X, created a customer centric approach to our sessions.
Why
I focused on getting the right kind of people into the studio, paying upfront or not, and I can tell you it all paid off.

I recognize that a lot of photographers just like me would need the kind of support and information to help me navigate these waters of discovery in their creative business.

The need is also beyond one-off trainings, but to assist with practical solutions that can be implemented directly without creating more problems in getting the business propelled.
I am glad and excited about sharing this experience and knowledge that has worked for me with you.
Welcome to the world of possibilities.
Welcome to Doo Double.
