From Geneva, NY ➡️ back to Florida with months of my mortgage paid 💰
Pulled up with a $30 Amazon backdrop stand, a Lifetouch-style background straight from the school photo days, and a couple of lights... and left with over $x,xxx+ in my pocket — all from word of mouth 😤📢
Here’s exactly how it went down:
🧠 The Setup
* $30 backdrop stand (the cheap one off Amazon 😅)
* Old-school Lifetouch 360 backdrop (yep, like school picture day!)
* 33” white umbrella + strip box + round diffuser for clean, pro lighting
🎯 The Game Plan
* $50 per headshot (includes retouching)
* Over 100 people — you do the math 🧠💸
* Threw in bonus shots of the event — overdeliver always
💡 The Mindset Shift
Most people wait for “big” clients. I say work with the growing ones.
Offer value, build trust, be their go-to as they scale. Long-term plays only 🏗️
👥 The Power of Network
This whole gig came from people I met back in college — YEARS ago!
They keep referring me, even outta state.
