Program Description: 

Planting, Cultivating and Harvesting:

High dollar sales takes time and preparation. In this full day workshop Julia will discuss how she pre-sells her portrait sales into high dollar rewards. She will present her methods from the planning session, to photographing her clients with their desires in mind and then reaps the rewards with the sales presentation. Julia will also share how her and her husband Jeff went from photographing 35 weddings at a $5000 average in 2002 to photographing 25 weddings in 2007 with an average of $12,000 all without changing their wedding packages. Come willing to learn and be inspired to be yourself and follow your passions.

Bio:

As a wife and mother of four, Julia has found the ability to use her love for relationships and the tool of photography to build a business that allows her to continue to put her home life as her top priority. In 1993, she and her husband Jeff, decided to start photographing weddings as a side job. Julia was given the task of turning the love that she and Jeff shared for photography, into a business that could actually support their family. After many years of hard work, she was able to create a business that was profitable, attracted a higher end client, gave she and Jeff the freedom to be themselves and most importantly, keep their family first.

She has been so grateful for the knowledge she has gained along the way, that she truly enjoys inspiring other photographers with the tools that will allow them to find the life that they enjoy. She conducts 3-day workshops and travels around the world teaching all aspects of the photography business.

Julia has been honored to have her work recognized by numerous associations including, 6 Album of the Year awards from the Association of Professional Photographers of Illinois (APPI), the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) Loan collections and received Photographer of the Year Platinum 2006 and Bronze 2008 from PPA, five Kodak Gallery awards, two Kodak Elite awards, and five Fuji Masterpiece awards. She has earned her Master and Craftsman degrees through Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Her work has been featured in ‘Rangefinder,’ ‘PDN,’ ‘Professional Photographers of America,’ and ‘The Rainbow’ trade magazines as well as various technical resource books.
