But one-hour brand shoots are keeping so many photographers stuck, exhausted, and wildly underpaid.In this episode, we’re getting into why short sessions are creating chaos (for you and your clients) and why introducing a signature session is one of the fastest ways to elevate your work, raise your prices, and get clients the results they actually want.This episode walks through what a signature session includes, how to position it, and what it takes to confidently remove “time” from your packages, so you can finally price based on value instead of minutes on your watch.We’re talking:Why one-hour brand sessions lead to chaos, over-delivery, and burned-out photographersThe #1 mindset shift photographers need to stop underchargingWhat a signature session actually looks likeHow to confidently push back when clients say they “only need an hour”Why time shouldn’t be on your pricing/services pageA peek inside the brand-new pricing module inside Behind the Shot (and the Black Friday deal!)Links & Resources💻 Join Behind the Shot: my course that teaches you how to price, plan, shoot, and deliver brand sessions that attract more dream clients: maddiepeschong.com/behindtheshot✔️ When you join Behind the Shot, you'll be able to join the 3-day portfolio-building challenging I'm hosting December 15-17 (live training + replays available!)📸 Grab the Ultimate Personal Brand Session Shot List: maddiepeschong.com📝 Blog: More tips and tools to grow your personal brand photography business💬 Questions or episode ideas?
