Sean LeBlanc of www.seanleblancphotography.com was recently interviewed for episode 358 of the podcast. It's rare to get someone back for a follow up so quickly.
There's good reason!
Sean is a wedding and family portrait photographer based in Alberta, Canada.
In his last interview, I raved about the quality of his work for someone so new to photography – really, his work is fantastic.
I was basing my views on mostly his wedding photography.
Then in the last interview, we talked almost exclusively about his growing family portrait photography business and how he's booking incredible clients from expos.
He said something though, that had me chasing him up for this interview.
I can't remember if it was in the recording but I made a note and circled it which said… $2800 average upgrade.
He was referring to upselling album pages after photographing client weddings.
$2800… Average!
In this interview, Sean shares how you can upsell wedding album pages after every wedding if you follow his simple but personal process where everything leads to a reveal premiere for your couples.

Here's what Elle Goss of Always Belle Photography says…
Hey guys, just thought I would update you on how I'm going in case you need some motivation to get started.
Last Monday I posted my copy ad to 7 audiences to test as per the course. On Friday I narrowed down to three audiences.
Results were: $120 spend, 16 enquiries, 4 bookings, $855 in booking fees collected.
5 enquiries I turned away as they were looking for June sessions, and I'm still following up with 7 more enquiries.
The course is easy to follow and pretty safe to say it's working well so far! With my average sale of just under $2k, the return on my investment is looking good!
Thank you Andrew!!!

Thank you!
Thanks again for listening and thanks to Sean for coming on and sharing how to sell more wedding album pages to every client after the wedding day after focussing on the album, the story and the couple from the very start of the photographer/client relationship.
I only show what I love to shoot on my website and on social media because that will ultimately attract the right client in the first place. – Sean LeBlanc
