Her name is Sonya, she’s a bit expensive to maintain but worth every penny 😅 We both work together to make money so it’s not that bad. She does the shooting and I do the planning and payment collection. Send a selfie with your Valentine’s 🤪

Happy belated birthday, @Calvin Coulter 🎉 Wishing you a year filled with growth, creativity, good health, and moments that truly inspire you. I noticed that only two of us were online in the group. I knew one of them was me, so I got curious about who the other person was. That’s when I realized it was Calvin Coulter, someone who isn’t very active here. Out of curiosity, I clicked through to his profile and then his X account, and that’s where I noticed something unexpected, his birthday had been just two days ago (Jan 13th). So I thought, why not spread a little community love? Who knows, maybe this small moment brings you a little closer to the community too.

I thought I would make this post as public accountability, but also just to genuinely share value for people struggling at any level. Even if you don't want to make money with photography i still recommend you look through this. Here’s exactly how I’m approaching $120K+ 👇 Step 1: I'm picking ONE core income lane For me, that’s: - Client work (photo + some video) - Only 2 niches: Portraits + Events Step 2: Do the math (this removes anxiety instantly haha) - $120,000 / year = $10,000 / month - ~$2,000 per client - 4–5 clients per month = $8–10k Step 3: Raise perceived value before raising prices For me I need to break down: - Clear niche positioning (who + what problem you solve) - Clean portfolio (only work that attracts paying clients) - Simple offer (one main package, one upsell) Step 4: Daily outreach > waiting to be discovered This is the unsexy part lol: - DM businesses daily - Email brands with custom Looms - Follow up (politely, repeatedly) Step 5: Track weekly, not yearly I personally focus on metrics like: - Outreach's sent - Calls booked - Deals closed - Revenue per client $120K isn’t the end goal of course, but I think it's something that I'm reaching this year from photography alone. No gatekeeping here haha, I will be transparent if i make it or not! Follow my Youtube for more personal updates: https://www.youtube.com/@jan_danielewicz
