Build a profitable wedding & portrait photography business
Been catching up on past episodes of the PhotobizX podcast by @andrewhellmich this week, it's like i've been on THE best week long workshop!
I love the honesty and integrity of those interviewed so far, it’s not all positive, they share the ups and downs. It’s REAL!!!
Just what wedding and portrait photographers have craved. Inspirational and educational with advice everyone should replicate in their own business.
I’m really surprised at the raw honesty of these interviews.
You can hear the latest episode right here, right now – click play in the player below!
Learn the very things they wish they knew ‘back then’ that they have learnt the hard way and know so well today – how to attract a constant flow of clients who want to pay for their photography.
Discover the exact way to market, advertise, and promote to attract wedding and portrait clients every day. We discuss pricing, photography packages, sales techniques, to add on, up-sell or not, what to do when the phone rings and what the experts do when it doesn't.
Learn what they do from the initial consultation right through to the album or prints sales session to pick up and beyond.
Learn from successful operators exactly how they incorporate social media, what works, what doesn't. You’ll recognise some photographers by name, some you won’t – every one though, will be operating a successful photography business today.
You get to learn from home based photographers and those with commercial premises. Photographers that shoot in Studios and others that solely work on location or outdoors.
Other guests include leaders in the fields of social media, off line marketing, advertising, branding, accounting, internet marketing – all offering real advice and relevant content aimed squarely at being a successful photographer.
If you are serious about your photography business and want to book more clients, I 100% recommend you listen to PhotoBizX – SugarBox Studios
If you are a Wedding or Portrait Photographer, you NEED to listen to this podcast. Simple as that. Whatever level you're at, however long you've been doing it, there's a friendly Aussie bloke who is pulling for you and wants to help you be a success.
It's a goldmine of tips, strategies, inspiration and advice. And there are now 200+ episodes to go back and rediscover. Everything from branding, marketing, sales strategies, SEO, blogging, writing, and of course MAKING MORE MONEY!
Now, there IS a premium version with even more content, but DO NOT LET THIS SCARE YOU! It will be the wisest business expense you could possibly make in my opinion. Unless you don't have a camera. If that's the case, you should probably buy a camera first… The premium membership offers a ton of extra resources including possibly the most valuable of all: a private members-only facebook group, populated by all us premium members plus a ton of the podcast quests too.
Do yourself a favour and listen now, then do what I did and sign up for the premium membership before the end of your first episode!

653: Jamie Booth – From Panic to a Booked-Out Photography Business in 90 Days
In this interview, Jamie shares what really happened behind the scenes as his business quietly started to unravel — the warning signs he ignored, the decisions he delayed, and the moment panic forced him to take action. He opens up about the systems that failed him, the personal factors that made things harder than they needed to be, and the practical changes that helped him stabilise cash flow, rebuild momentum, and fall back in love with his business again. If you’ve ever looked at another photographer’s work and thought, they must be doing great, this conversation is a powerful reminder that appearances rarely tell the full story — and that a turnaround is often closer than it feels.
652: Emily Cummings – How Dating Photography Became a High-Value, Year-Round Revenue Stream
Dating photography might not be the first niche that comes to mind when photographers think about growth — but in this interview, Emily Cummings explains why it’s become one of her most consistent, high-value revenue streams. We unpack how Emily identified a specific emotional problem clients were already motivated to solve, why a dedicated dating photography offer pre-qualifies serious enquiries, and how experience design — from consults to styling to same-day image selection — makes premium pricing far easier to hold. This conversation also explores the role Emily’s studio plays in credibility and efficiency, how Google Ads and strategic partnerships attract clients from well beyond her local area, and why simplifying pricing and systems across genres has helped her scale without burnout. If you’re curious about building steadier income, attracting more decisive clients, or creating offers that work year-round — this episode will give you plenty to think about.

650: 2026 Photography Business Predictions — What’s About to Change
What actually matters for photography businesses heading into 2026? Instead of vague trend predictions or recycled advice, this New Year Special brings together a group of experienced photography business coaches — each answering a specific question within their area of expertise. The result is a wide-angle look at what’s genuinely shifting right now: how clients are finding photographers, how buying decisions are changing, where AI fits (and where it doesn’t), and what photographers need to rethink if they want their businesses to feel more stable, profitable, and sustainable this year. You’ll hear perspectives on marketing, sales psychology, branding, visibility, client experience, and mindset — not as isolated tactics, but as connected pieces of how successful photography businesses are being built moving forward. If you’re heading into 2026 wondering what to double down on, what to let go of, and where to focus your energy next, this episode will help you see the bigger picture — and avoid playing last year’s game in a changing market.
