Booking brand photography clients can feel tough when you're just starting out or when you don’t have much brand photography in your portfolio yet. And even if you've been shooting for a while, trying to attract a different type of client without the right work to showcase can feel just as challenging.

That’s why I’m such a big fan of portfolio building! It’s an incredibly helpful strategy, and honestly, it’s something I still do in my business.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the process of portfolio building: how it works and how you can use it to book more brand photography sessions.
