streamline your client experience
and build a sustainable family photography business you love

you could...
Rewind (even further) to my time as a teenager and then as a college student, working in those old mall portrait studios... I was trained in executing IPS and I worked with hundreds of families in this model, which I then adjusted and carried into my own business when I launched it in 2013.
While there were some definite upsides, I noticed a general frustration among families around making on-the-spot purchase decisions, feeling regret, or needing additional support after the sales meeting.
That's not a brag. I'ts a testimony.

That’s when I set my mind on virtual sales.
Since then, I’ve built and refined a system of booking, preparation, and delivery that is flexible enough to accommodate variability among my clients, while still maintaining dependability, consistency, and boundaries.
This is possible for you, too. (and in a lot less time!)
When you're ready to make some moves, this course is here for you. You'll get access to all the modules upon purchase so you can dive right in. It's self-paced, so you can tackle one piece at a time till you've built foundations that truly work for you.
You’ll have forever-access to review and replay as much as you want, plus access to any updates and bonus material that's added over time.
I'm so confident that this can change your life and business and am PUMPED for you to dig in- it can be implemented all at once or piece by piece with as much time as you need ... but within the first 30 days, if you've taken a look through the course and don't feel like it can add value, you can contact me at leah@lofirefly.com. I'll work with you one on one to troubleshoot and find the right adjustments till it does, OR I'll refund your full payment, guaranteed.
Leah is an amazing teacher and her lessons are clear and educational, without being overwhelming. She is responsive, helpful and super supportive!! She gives action steps for you to actually apply her teachings and her email templates are solid and written with heart and care.
I like that her workflows will help photographers save time and become more profitable and thus more sustainable. I also like that it's set up to keep things flexible for clients and don't feel high pressure, salesy or pushy!

1. Your big Picture
"HOW MUCH WORK WILL THIS take?!"
With over 3 hours of video content, behind the scenes walkthroughs of my CRM set-up, pricing tools and strategies, workbooks for vision-casting and planning,
questionnaires, email templates for every step, exact samples of workflow triggers and set-up for your workflow, and more...
you have everything you need to get a virtual workflow up and running.
Each module includes an action-step checklists + a community group of peers working through it with you, too.
That said, this isn't a quickie course or cheat sheet pdf. We're talking sustainability here, so this is for photographers who are willing to put in the work upfront now so they can run more efficiently later.
Now how would that feel?
Maybe you're thinking...
Dedicate an hour a day or a few hours of naptime hustle a week to the course material and action steps and you'll be up and running in < 1 month with a fully workflow and business systems with staying power.
With all the resources and the exact roadmap in your hands, you'll cut the process of developing a full, new client experience down SIGNIFICANTLY.
So yes, you'll need to commit to carving out a little time to implement these foundations, but the rewards are endless.
When you're ready to make some moves, this course is here for you. You'll get access to all the modules upon purchase so you can dive right in. It's self-paced, so you can tackle one piece at a time till you've built foundations that truly work for you.
You’ll have forever-access to review and replay as much as you want, plus access to any updates and bonus material that's added over time.
I'm so confident that this can change your life and business and am PUMPED for you to dig in- it can be implemented all at once or piece by piece with as much time as you need ... but within the first 30 days, if you've taken a look through the course and don't feel like it can add value, you can contact me at leah@lofirefly.com. I'll work with you one on one to troubleshoot and find the right adjustments till it does, OR I'll refund your full payment, guaranteed.
You'll have small group + individual support whenever you need it.
And if you get stuck or hit a wall...
You could, but you haven’t yet - that’s probably because the 30,000 ft view looks like your kids shot silly string all over your house and you have no idea where to start. This course it the launchpad. A clear method of puzzle pieces that fit together into a sustainable workflow built for family photographers, specifically.
There are several main differences, mostly around the philosophy around transparency, booking methods, and the delivery process (like when they choose their collection, how clients view their final images, and deadlines). All in all, this method provides flexibility to the client while still holding boundaries and expectations for the business. It removes more of the IPS-ish pressure while still making customer experience and product sales a priority.
A CRM will be crucial to seeing the results of time freedom you crave - but if you don't have one yet, (or do but it's not really working well for you!) that's fine. I'll help you ease in and refine the pieces to make the workflow shine for you. I use Sprout Studio as my CRM and all my video tutorials and walkthroughs are demonstrated with this platform BUT if you use another CRM + delivery method (ex Dubsado, 17Hats, Honeybook with Pixieset, Instaproofs, etc) you can still transfer the same ideas, emails, sequencing triggers etc. to any platform.
Making business decisions is hard (that's why you're here!) but investing in education to help with that shouldn't be one of them.
If you start the course and aren't happy with it or see the value for your business within the first 30 days, I'll work with you to troubleshoot and find the right adjustments. If you're still like NEVER MIND, take me back to my spreadsheets and all inclusive delivery, I'll refund your full payment, guaranteed.
If more $$, more of your dream clients, more predictable bookings, more flexibility to work only when you want to, + more freedom to create with the artistry you desire sounds boring, you go ahead and keep believing that artists don’t do systems ;-)

On the other hand, if you’re ready to experience more fulfillment + peace of mind than you ever thought possible in running a photography business, join in and get started - remember, it's risk free.
The modules themselves include both pdf and video walkthroughs to guide you from start to finish of the workflow, which you could digest in a few hours. Because this is a project-based course, though, you'll likely come back to the videos and templates several times to gain confidence and familiarity with the process. Some students may choose to implement all the email templates, guides, workflow triggers etc. as-is, but others may choose to take more time tweaking or personalizing them, so the total time it takes is really flexible.
There will also be pieces that will require your focus outside of course, like pulling images for your portfolio, updating the experience guide with your info, and setting your price lists. The course can't do this for you - but it can give you guidance on how to do them, and once you have the pieces, the workflow provided will help you put everything into plug everything into place and start sharing right away, booking, and wow-ing right away.
