SEE THE WORK YOU CAN FINISH

Try a decision with
the evidence in view.

Every tool works by hand. An assistant is optional.

MONTHLY WORKLOAD BOARD

The month, before you say yes.

Pictured: the calendar shows booked sessions, editing blocks and one job whose effort is unknown.

Finish in the working tool: compare known commitments with available owner hours, review proposed work and export the month record.

INSIDE THE WORKSHOP

Keep the work connected.

Choose the decision you need to make.

You’ll follow one inquiry through delivery and closeout and lay out the work you already know about on a month board. Then you’ll pick one stretch of time and set your marketing beside the inquiries and bookings from that same stretch.

Review a campaign choice, trace monthly cash movements, and hand off one recurring job with evidence to bring back.

You can finish the core exercises without an AI account, a paid model or an upload feature. Optional assistant tasks challenge a draft or organize supplied evidence. You check the result.

SIX PRACTICAL ROUTES

Choose where to begin.

Twenty-two tasks connect the business decisions to the work you can finish. Open a route to see its tasks.

BRAND & PORTFOLIO

Look closely at
the photographs.

Compare the two workshop images, then sort your own twenty photographs. Keep what you can see separate from your interpretation and a viewer’s response.

WHAT YOU GET

Keep useful work within reach.

Written teaching, working examples and editable materials to return to as you work on your business.

02

Three editable workbooks

The planning workbook, its fictional worked example and the Studio Action workbook remain editable.

Use the blank Business Planning Workbook for your own facts, follow the worked example and keep the next actions together in the Studio Action Workbook.

Workbook help explains each tab, which cells to edit and the worked examples so you can plan one offer, one cash month and your next action.

03

Thirteen messages and nine worksheet entries

Adapt thirteen messages and check the promises against the booking details. Use the worksheet entries to keep supplied facts, open questions and the next action together.

05

Working templates and supporting lessons

The portrait and wedding agreements and the image-use form come as editable Word templates. They are educational templates and aren’t legal advice, so have a qualified lawyer help adapt them for your business and location.

Add your studio details, adapt the prices, timelines and policies to the work you actually offer, then give the finished versions to your own clients. Keep the reusable templates within your business, and please don’t sell or share them as templates.

The resource library also keeps the pricing and email lessons, owners register, recovery sheet, decision brief and provider announcement sheet within reach.

Use the template checklist before you use a template with a client. Search the resource directory, and keep a Business assets record on your own device of the resources you choose.

06

Sales tax resources for photographers.

This optional bonus helps you sort out sales tax questions for your photography business. The practical guide shows you how to describe a sale and separate the questions that matter: registration, how a state treats what you sold, location and rate, and filing. The searchable state reference covers all 50 states and the District of Columbia with dated research, official source links and the questions that are still open. The accountant preparation worksheet helps you gather your facts before you talk with a tax professional. It's general education, not legal, tax or accounting advice, and it won't answer every question for your business, so check current official sources before you rely on it.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Clear limits,
useful work.

Choose one route, read the example and bring the facts for the decision you want to work through.

Read, work and download

The workshop combines browser exercises with written lessons and downloadable documents. Use a PDF reader for the printable guides and software that opens .xlsx and .docx files for the editable workbooks and templates.

An assistant is optional

You can finish the core exercises without an AI account, a paid model or an upload feature. Optional assistant tasks challenge a draft or organize supplied evidence. You check the result.

Check the decisions for your business

Setup and agreement decisions still need the official sources and qualified advice appropriate to your business.
