How to get more clients to the consult call. (Live Coaching Call with Lacey Muenstermann)

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like you’re getting plenty of photography inquiries… but struggling to actually get people on a consult call? In this episode, I coach Lacey through closing that exact gap so she can turn more leads into booked clients.

We break down where her process is leaking and how to fix it fast.

• Why inquiry → call is the real bottleneck

• How to instantly improve your confirmation page

• The power of speed + clarity in your response

• Pre-qualifying better clients through pricing

• Simple CRM tweaks to increase conversions

If you can get them on the call—you can book them. Let’s fix the gap.

"Where is my breakthrough, God?"

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Where is your breakthrough? I’ve asked that question too, and today, I have a challenge AND encouragement for you.

I’m diving into what it really means to be faithful with what you’ve been given, and why sometimes the delay you’re feeling is true spiritual development. I’ve lived through seasons of waiting, and I can tell you: nothing is wasted. God isn’t just here to build your business, He’s building you.

If you feel stuck, I hope this shifts your perspective and strengthens your faith.

Business Bible Study: Nehemiah builds the wall. (Bonus Episode)

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:15:00 -0400

What if the resistance I feel is actually confirmation I’m on the right path? In this first Business Bible Study, I unpack Nehemiah and what it looks like to keep building even when fear shows up.

I walk through Nehemiah’s story and share how opposition, doubt, and pressure often follow calling—and why that’s not a sign for me to stop, but to stay focused and keep going.

If I’m in a season of doubt, this is my reminder: keep building.

Let's talk about personality (clients book you for it!).

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 03:00:00 -0400

What if your photos aren’t the reason clients aren’t booking you as a photographer? In this episode, we unpack the overlooked factor that truly drives client booking decisions—how people feel around you.

I dive into why personality, presence, and connection often outweigh skill, and how you can intentionally grow in this area to book more clients and show up with confidence.

• Why clients choose based on comfort, not just quality

• The truth about personality growth and neuroplasticity

• How to build social confidence through reps

• Books, tools, and people that shape your communication

• Leveraging your natural strengths to connect

If you take this seriously, it could change everything about how you book and serve in your photography business.

Stop saying this to clients, and say THIS instead...

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Your words are either helping photography clients book… or quietly pushing them away. In this episode, I break down common phrases photographers say during inquiries and sales conversations that actually hurt bookings—and what to say instead to create clarity, urgency, and confidence.

You’ll learn how small tweaks in your wording can dramatically improve your booking process.

In this episode:

• Why “I’ll let you know if someone else inquires” kills urgency

• The problem with asking “How are you feeling so far?”

• Why “Let me know your thoughts” overwhelms clients

• How to handle “We need to think about it” the right way

• Better ways to ask about a client’s vision

• Why asking for a budget backfires

• Moving beyond “bestie marketing”

His health battle nearly killed him. He's now a 6-Fig Photographer.

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 03:00:00 -0400

What do you do when a health crisis takes over your business and more importantly - nearly your whole life?

Eric Hillestad was 25 years old when his lungs began filling with blood.

Doctors eventually placed him on ECMO — the most advanced life support available.

Many people don’t survive it.

Eric did.

After weeks in the hospital, he had to relearn how to walk, breathe, and speak. He missed months of his newborn daughter’s life. Doctors told his family to prepare for the worst.

But Eric’s story didn’t end there.

Today he’s a wedding photographer, a father, and a Business Blueprint student who rebuilt his life — and his business — from the ground up.

In this episode we talk about:

• surviving a near-death medical crisis

• rebuilding life and work after trauma

• faith in the middle of fear

• why his photography now carries a completely different meaning

• and how he turned a struggling business into something sustainable for his family

Eric’s story is raw, powerful, and deeply faith-filled.

You’re not going to forget this one.

How to get BETTER inquiries, using Meta Ads. (with Peyton Helm)

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Peyton Helm (Meta Ads WIZARD) and I getting real about what’s changing in the wedding industry in 2026.

If you’ve noticed more ghosting, more hesitation, tighter budgets, and a whole lot more “shopping around”… you’re not crazy. Peyton breaks down what he’s seeing across hundreds of photographers and filmmakers — and what to do about it.

We talk about the shift toward trust + transparency, how to stop attracting tire kickers, and the behind-the-scenes funnel changes that can make inquiries feel way more “ready to book.”

If you want more consistent, higher-quality leads in 2026 — this episode will help you adapt fast.

What we cover

Why the $3–4k market is getting squeezed (and what’s rising instead)
Gen Z’s demand for transparency (especially pricing)
Where to show price without killing your ability to sell
How to qualify leads before you waste time on calls
Running ads vs. referrals vs. organic — and what each is best for
The “backend selling” strategy that increases show-up + close rates
Confirmation pages, video, and pre-framing (so calls aren’t uphill battles)

When the world feels dark, create anyway.

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 03:00:00 -0400

If you’ve felt heavy lately… distracted… angry… stuck in the scroll - you’re not alone.

But what if the world doesn’t need more consumers right now? What if it needs CREATORS?

In this episode, I share why some of history’s greatest artists created their most meaningful work in the middle of chaos, and why your small, everyday work might matter more than you think.

Put the phone down. Pick the work back up. Create.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the noise, this is for you.

She almost quit. Then she doubled her income. (Student Story with Olivia Tarkowski)

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 03:00:00 -0400

"I’m giving myself one more year… and if by the start of 2026 this is still literally going nowhere… maybe this isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing."

That's what Olivia Tarkowski (today's guest) said to her husband in January of 2025.

Good grief did her story take a turn!

Today, I'm joined by Business Blueprint student named Olivia, a wedding photographer who went from struggling to book consistently (she floated the idea of quitting at one point!) — to closing her books, doubling her income, and hitting 70–80% booking rates in just a few months.

...oh and then she hit $100k in 2025.

We talk candidly about leaving corporate, walking through uncertainty, rebuilding her brand, and what changed when she finally surrendered control of her business to God.

Her story is a real life story of faith, persistence, and breakthrough.

If you’re in a slow season, questioning your calling, or wondering if this business can actually work — this episode is for you.

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Today I’m sitting down with Josh and Lily of McKinley Made Photo & Film(Wedding Photographer and Videographer team), Business Blueprint students who went from being overworked, underpriced, and stretched thin — to breaking $200K in a year as a photo + video duo.

We talk honestly about what actually changed: raising prices, refining their client experience, rebuilding confidence, investing before it felt comfortable, and trusting God through the uncertainty of entrepreneurship.

No theory. No hype. Just a behind-the-scenes look at what growth really looked like for them.

If you want proof that change is possible — this episode delivers.

What We Cover:

Why booking more weddings wasn’t the answer — and what was
How they raised prices (and didn’t lose momentum)
Booking their highest package ever right after relaunching
The mindset shift that unlocked better clients
Going from survival mode to structure + clarity
Building a photo + video duo business without burning out
Investing in your business when it feels risky
How faith played a role in navigating uncertainty
What they’d tell their past selves before making the leap

Friends & family discounts, haters, parenthood, sharing your faith online, & more. (Q&A episode)

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 03:00:00 -0400

You asked, and I answered on this Q&A episode.

In this rapid-fire Q&A, I’m tackling the real questions photographers are thinking but rarely say out loud: family discounts, industry haters, how to get in with planners, personal branding beyond Instagram, and how to create boundaries when you’re booking months out. We also go into some juicy stuff: politics + pressure, sharing faith in business, and a nuanced take on tithing vs. generosity as a Christian entrepreneur.

If you want an industry real talk (without the fluff), this one’s for you.

When clients keep choosing the cheap photographer over you...

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 03:00:00 -0400

The most discouraging feeling (or one of them) is when photography clients come at you saying things like "Sorry, you're just a bit out of our budget, and we decided to go with another photographer for our wedding instead. But we wish you the best in your business, anyway!" Feels like a gut punch, doesn't it? Let's break down how to manage something like this, and what to do or think when this happens (and keeps happening).

"Everyone is an artist until rent is due."

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 03:00:00 -0400

I heard this quote recently ("everyone is an artist until rent is due") and it got me thinking... Is this true? Are we all just purebred artists at our core? Do we default to creating beautiful art when we are NOT in need, and NOT stressed, and NOT short on time? And if so, how do we unlock those things? What does this say about us as a species?

Photography is not "solving client problems." It's this...

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 03:00:00 -0400

Today's episode stems from a question that I recently got asked on a coaching call. A student asked how to let a potential client know that they absolutely NEED them (the photographer) to solve their (the client's) problems. But as I got to thinking, that might actually be the wrong question... Let's unpack this in today's episode!

Discipline isn’t "doing all the things you hate." It's THIS...

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

For years I saw "discipline" as the enemy. I thought it was just "doing the stuff I didn't want to do." I was wrong. In fact, it's something completely different. I think this mindset will change the way you think about discipline, and hopefully it can make this word your new best friend. ;)
