Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Bruce Hirsch of www.hirschstudio.com is a US-based family portrait photographer living and working in both Indiana, not far from Michigan, and Florida in the winter months. We were exchanging some emails earlier this year when he dropped this bombshell… Just as an FYI… I would gladly share how we booked 128 family portraits in 3 days.   No FB ads, no TV ads or radio ads… It’s a straightforward system.   We've had 652 appointments this past year already!!! To say I was interested to learn more is an understatement. Bruce has been in business and photographing family portraits for over 35 years. He works closely with his wife, Linda, in the business and has photographed Presidents, politicians and sports celebrities in his life as a photographer. It's photographing local families, though, that his career has been built on. In this interview, Bruce shares how he's partnering with golf and country clubs to photograph hundreds of family sessions.
