Jennifer Lindberg of www.jenniferlindberg.com has a website that will immediately tell you she is or isn't the photographer for you. The site, images, copy, fonts will have you thinking luxury and wealth. There are images that feature unique homes, complete with grand piano and a huge family portrait of mum and dad dressed in formal attire with their young daughter in a frilly white dress. There's so much more I want to include in this intro and why I've asked this fantastic photographer to record this interview! In a recent email exchange, I learned the studio had a record month in December of over $174,000. Earlier, though, I received this incredible email… I really wanted to send you my heartfelt thanks for your podcast. I can't remember who it was, but a fellow photographer told me that listening to your podcasts would be the equivalent of getting an MBA in the photography business! They were so right! When I signed up for your podcast, we were in deep financial struggle. I could no longer shoot weddings which had been our mainstay for 15+ years. My dream of getting eight qualified clients a month still seemed so far off. Fast forward to today…my husband, Jim, and I have turned over 1 million USD gross in the last 12 months. We live in a small Texas town, population 14k, and specialize in B&W family portraits. Listening to several of your podcasts literally changed our lives for beyond the better. It still honestly feels unreal at times! So please know what you are doing is bringing so much value to people's lives every day, even the quiet ones who don't often say much. I'm talking about the wonderful Jennifer Lindberg. I'm rapt to have interviewed her for this episode, where she shares how to attract so many incredible clients, deliver a memory-filled experience and produce beautiful photography that clients are keen to purchase for their homes.
