422: Stephanie Garneau – utilising the Blumes mini session strategy in your photography business

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Stephanie Garneau of www.legacyphotographyoxford.com was introduced to me by last weeks guest, Phillip Blume of The Blumes – where we went into detail on how to advertise for, shoot and sell profitable mini sessions. Following the chat with Phillip, I asked if he could recommend a photographer using his system to book and sell mini sessions. Stephanie and I exchanged a couple of emails, and I'm rapt to have had a chance to record this interview. From what I could see online, Stephanie is based in Mississippi, USA, and is the photographer/owner of Legacy Photography. She is a mom of five and, in addition to her photography business, is a labour and delivery nurse. She photographs weddings, families, newborns, seniors and mini sessions. Her website is beautifully laid out, easy to navigate and filled with bright, colourful images filled with happy smiling faces. In this interview, Stephanie shares how she utilises the Blumes mini-session strategies to supplement her income as she grows her full-service wedding and portrait photography business.  Here's some more of what we cover in the interview: What’s on Offer for Premium Members If you’re a premium member, you should have received an email with links to your version of this interview – the full length and more revealing version where you hear the absolute best tips and advice from every guest.
