Liz Hansen of www.chicago-boudoir.com and www.milliondollar.studio has a million-dollar boudoir photography studio business.
She says… Having a baby is the hardest thing I’ve ever done; having a business is the second hardest. The third-hardest is growing that business.
Liz has been a professional photographer since 2011 and opened her studio in 2018. She quickly grew it to over a million dollars per year in revenue and believes a big part of her success is focusing on same-day sales sessions for her female clients, who all receive professional hair, makeup and lashes.
She has an all-female staff and has helped other photographers grow their studio businesses quickly and successfully.
In this interview, Liz shares the pathway to building a million-dollar photography business today — from client-attracting targeted marketing to workflow and editing effectively and sales strategies that work.
Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:

The number one thing that really helped me go from not being able to pay myself to being able to pay myself was creating a repeatable process in my marketing, my shooting and my selling, so that I knew what would happen and it wasn't just like a mystery everyday when I woke up. – Liz Hansen

One of the reasons I did those 40 Free shoots, which was a ton of work for no pay, was to build a little bit of trust online. I got videos of those women saying, ‘Liz was great.' ‘I loved working with her.' ‘She didn't sell me into captivity.' That's what I needed out of those 40 shoots more than money. – Liz Hansen
