Why Comparing Yourself to Other Photographers Is Hurting Your Business | Q3 Recap

Comparing yourself to other photographers can wreck your confidence and distract you from building the photography business you want. I'm talking about an experience with other photography educators that sent me spiraling, a failed Hybrid Hub launch, and the reality of burnout during wedding season. Plus, how blogging and SEO led to multiple destination wedding bookings, why hybrid photo and video and multi-day wedding packages can increase your revenue, and how to grow your photography business without trying to become someone else.

Photographers, you have GOT to stop looking at what everyone else in the photography industry is doing and deciding their success means you need to be more like them. And apparently I need to take my own fucking advice lmao

In this Quarter 3 recap of Hybrid Hangout, I'm getting vulnerable about comparison, confidence, and what happens when you spend too much time around people in the photography industry who make you question everything you love about your own business.

We're also talking about growing a wedding photography and videography business through blogging and SEO, why I love selling hybrid photo and video packages and multi-day wedding coverage, and how much I've loved watching my education clients become incredible photographers and videographers.

I'm also sharing what happened when my August Hybrid Hub launch completely flopped, how I've been navigating depression and burnout, and why September continues to kick my ass every single year when I'm trying to balance wedding photography editing with building two businesses.

Quarter 3 was full of beautiful weddings, incredible people, some really fucking hard moments, and a lot of reminders to put my eyes on my own paper. If you've been comparing yourself to other photographers, questioning your business, or struggling to keep up during busy wedding season, come hang out. I think you'll find a lot to relate to in this one.
