Jen White is a maternity and newborn photographer with 13 years experience.

But without consistent sales, she knew she had to make her business profitable or walk away for good.

After some huge aha moments, she made 13K in her first month.

So the real question is, how are portrait photographers like us able to run a profitable

business and still put our families first without selling digital files for cheap and working

all the time? I'm Sarah Petty, your host of the Worth Every Penny Joycast, and I went from

a stressed out, overworked mama with three babies to being named one of America's most profitable

photographers without working my kids' lives away. Each week, I'll show you how to find and serve

boutique portrait photography clients in a world where we compete with free thanks to everyone having a digital camera in their pocket.

Jen, it was now or never for you, huh?

For sure, for sure.

I had done it for so many years and just really, I'm an all or nothing person.

And it made my husband crazy.

I have four girls at home.

We homeschool like I am super busy.

And so trying to go all in on photography just really gave us a huge hit on that family time.

And that was really what we were working on.

Yeah. So you've been doing this 13 years.

Were you doing digitals? Tell us what, how did photography fit in?

You're homeschooling for girls. Wow. I mean, four girls in itself is a lot. I have two of my three.

And homeschooling, good for you. And so how did how did your photography business fit in this whole family plan those 13 years?
