Shownotes

Feeling stuck competing with $150 sessions? In this episode, Ina redefines what luxury really means in pet photography, and it's not what you think. Discover how to position your business as a premium experience without needing a commercial studio or gold foil packaging, and learn the mindset shifts that helped Ina's clients invest $2,000-$6,000 regularly (with one $11,000 sale!) all from her home studio.

  • Why luxury isn't about expensive packaging or fancy studios
  • The difference between problem-solving marketing vs. building desire (crucial for luxury positioning)
  • The real reason clients invest in premium pet photography
  • 5 practical steps to add luxury touches to your client experience without breaking the bank
  • How to separate your money beliefs from your clients' reality
  • Why "charge your worth" advice can actually be dangerous

Audit your client experience (not your price list!) and ask:

  • Where can I add something small but memorable?
  • How can I simplify my communication?
  • What would make my clients feel more confident and excited?
  • Where can I build trust sooner in the process?
