Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Katie and Jez of www.heartstoryphotography.com.au and the upcoming Elevate Photography Business Intensive are back for what was initially going to be a 15-minute segment about the current state of business and their upcoming photography business workshop. Instead, we went deep into all things marketing, advertising, sales, and still loving photography and photographing families after so many years of doing the same thing. If you haven't stumbled upon their portrait work yet, these Canberra-based photographers don't just take portraits; they capture souls. Every session they conjure a story whispered in light, and their talent has brought them multiple Australian Family Photographer of the Year titles. Beyond the photography, Katie and Jez are wisdom whisperers, business ninjas, and all-around photography guns. They've built their studio from the ground up, battled the same anxieties and late nights we all know, and now they're burning with a mission: to show you how to ditch the struggle and embrace the joy of capturing stories through portraits while being profitable in business and living the life you want. In this interview, discover what makes Heartstory tick and how they can be so in love with their business, clients, staff and processes… after doing it for so long. Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: What’s on Offer for Premium Members If you’re on the fence about becoming a premium member, join with the $1 trial today and get access to the FULL interviews each week, a fantastic back catalogue of interviews, and have ALL future interviews delivered automatically to your phone or tablet. Plus, special member-only interviews. One of the upside consequences of approaching our business the way that we do is that I've never loved photographing families as much as I do right now. – Jeremy You'll also receive access to the members-only Secret Facebook Group, where you can connect with other Premium Members and interview guests to help, support and motivate you to take ideas you hear in each episode and put them into action.

In addition to everything above, you'll get access and instructions on forming or joining a MasterMind Group with other premium members.
