Calling all photographers who are on their last straw trying to run a successful business
What if there was an easier way to stop the feast and famine cycle,
raise your prices confidently, and create a sustainable photography business?
Becoming a Certified Headshot Strategist® will give you all that and more in as little as 7 weeks
Your photography business isn't what you expected it to be...
You wish you had more clients. So you can do more of what you love.
You have good months and bad months. You can't seem to get off the rollercoaster of feast and famine and it's draining everything out of you.
You'd love to increase your prices. But can you justify charging more?
You want to scale your business so that running it feels like a leisurely walk through the park not like being yanked along by an out-of-control Great Dane.
It's not a lack of passion that prevents you from living the life you want, it's something else...
-
You've tapped Google so many times to find new tricks and strategies that you've ended up with a messy medley of podcasts, webinars, newsletters, cheatsheets, and ebooks - a jumble of info that had you feeling more lost than a ball in the high weeds
-
You've taken photography courses after business courses, after mindset courses - courses, courses, courses - but none of them have given you the key to success you thought they would
-
You've tried to differentiate yourself from all the other photographers in your area - a strategy that should work, right?
-
You've hit your invisible revenue ceiling and you can't break past it - like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory after he drinks the fizzy soda
So what can you do to jump into the rocket elevator and smash through the glass ceiling holding you back from success?
Is it...
More photography experience?
More technical skills?
Even more photography courses?
NO!!!
Please, no more courses - those course clouds definitely do not have a silver lining.
Instead, the something else you need is...
You need to become a Headshot Strategist®
The differentiator we were just talking about - this is it!
No more floppy introductions - "Hey, I'm Joe, I'm a photographer" with your prospects smiling at you thinking 'oh, great, not another photographer'.
How about a solid introduction that leads directly into a deeper conversation (and more and more sales)? - "Hey, I'm Joe, a Headshot Strategist" - much better!
Becoming a Headshot Strategist® allows you to...
-
Attract more high-quality clients
-
Increase your prices - because now you're worth it
-
Scale your business with more revenue stream
It allows you to sculpt your business into the dream money-maker you always wanted so you can finally find that balance in your work life, personal life, and leisure time.
Say goodbye to the crazy ups and downs of being a professional photographer...
Stop for a second...

I think it's time you met your program coach and OG Headshot Strategist®... Peggy McCartha
I'm known as the most industry-savvy Headshot photographer in LA.
I've been a professional photographer for over 34 years.
I have spent the past 8+ years interviewing top industry professionals including top casting directors, agents, managers, working actors, acting coaches, and more to dig deep and understand what makes an effective Headshot that stands out and gets noticed.
I quickly realized that what I found could help more than just actors, it is a game changer for headshots, portraits, branding, lifestyle, and just about any type of photography.
I personally get frustrated by those "step by step" or "how I did it - paint by number" courses.
Your struggles are different from mine, and your dreams are different from mine.
This program will give you the information and knowledge you need so that you have the embodied wisdom to create a thriving photography business that is designed by you for you.
It lays the foundations for your success and looks at all the areas of your life. Plus it shows you the marketing and business side of your photography business - not just the technical and style side.
It gives you clear and actionable processes you can start integrating into your business immediately.
