#167 - ON-AIR MENTORING SESSION - WHAT'S THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO FIND YOUR DREAM CLIENT?
In today's episode (167) of the EAT, CAPTURE, SHARE podcast, you'll be listening in to the final creative business mentoring session of 2025.
I’m working one-on-one with Audrey, a full-time New York–based food photographer who wants to book more (and better!) food photography clients. This episode is packed with practical tips to strengthen your pitching strategy, attract dream clients, and make the most of the content you’re already creating.
Because the thing is, growing a successful food photography or content creation business isn’t always about inventing something brand new. Often, the biggest results come from doubling down on proven strategies, doing them consistently, strategically, and really, really well.
Here's what else you can expect from today's episode...
