Summary
What do you do in a photography session when one of the kiddos doesn't want to participate? We've all been there!
This exact thing happened to me LIVE in front of 73 of my Peak Performance students.
During the session, I was thinking, okay, we've got a family of five. If everyone isn't in the photo, we have nothing. They won't order ANYTHING. Talk about pressure.
It wasn't expected, but here's how I handled it - and all the other unexpected turns that happened in the live session and presentation. Listen to learn more.

| 0:00.0 | Last week I did something really fun, and it stretched me, my team, and my students. |
| 0:07.0 | On today's episode, I want to share a little bit of the behind-the-scenes of that experience |
| 0:12.3 | with you. As a bonus for joining our top program, we had a two-day selling and social media |
| 0:18.8 | summer camp in Nashville, Tennessee. I wasn't sure how it would go, but it surpassed all of my |
| 0:25.5 | expectations, and I had to do something I've never done before. I'm going to open the door, |
| 0:33.1 | and I'm going to share what went well, and maybe what could have gone better. Stick with me. |
| 0:41.4 | So the real question is, how are portrait photographers like us able to run a profitable business |
| 0:48.0 | and still put our families first, without selling digital files for cheap and working all the time? |
| 0:54.8 | I'm Sarah Petty, your host of the Worth Every Penny Joycast, and I went from a stressed-out |
| 1:00.8 | overworked mama with three babies to being named one of America's most profitable photographers |

| 1:30.4 | podcast. I think sometimes, as business owners, we make our businesses way more complicated than |
| 1:42.8 | they need to be. Are you guilty? Go on, be honest. I've spent the last 20 years creating education |
| 1:51.9 | to teach photographers in the most simple and easy way how to run a profitable business. |
| 1:59.8 | But one part that I have never done for my students is let them watch the entire process |
| 2:07.3 | from start to finish in one day live with an actual client. My students have asked for it for years, |
| 2:16.8 | and so this year I thought, you know what, I got to find a way to do this. |
| 2:21.6 | So first off, I wanted to do it in a fun city where we could do that on day one, and then on day two, |
| 2:29.3 | they would practice implementing things they've learned regarding social media. |
