Tanha Basile of www.winnimini.com.au is a successful family and newborn photographer based on Queensland's Gold Coast in Australia. She went professional with her photography in 2013, right after her first child was born.
From what I understand, it's been a whirlwind of growth and success since then.
Looking at her availability for the rest of 2021 – she has less than 24 sessions left to fill!
Browsing her website, it's immediately clear what she creates for her clients – warm, earthy toned, emotive imagery focusing on wall art collections.
Before setting up this interview, I was chatting with a photographer friend about Tanha, and she told me…
Tahna has an incredible sales average, photographs a million sessions, has built a massive house with a whole wing dedicated to a studio, and her husband has just quit his job to work for her!
In this interview, learn how to systematize your portrait photography business for success and to create your own successful newborn and family photography business, no matter how competitive the market.
Here's some more of what we cover in the interview:

Hi Andrew & Tanha,
I loved this interview and congratulations Tanha on your success!! I was wondering if you would mind sharing your full price list? I know there’s a place to go grab it off your website but I understand that’s for potential clients so I didn’t want to go that route.
I found it refreshing that you don’t feel any disappointment with a client purchasing your lowest package. The fact that you’ve tuned your process enough to successfully pre-qualified them for that package and then just shoot what you need with no cost of goods overhead is genius!! Sounds like you really have your system dialed in and that’s such an inspiration to me! I’ll definitely be adding this podcast to my replay, over and over and over list. ; )
Warmest Regards ~ Erin
Hey Erin!
Love that you enjoyed this interview and got a ton from what Tanha shared – how amazing is she!
I’ve just PM’d Tanha to make sure she sees your post and she may reply to you directly.
Hope you’re well and business is going great!
Speak soon
Andrew
