You will not find a more comprehensive educational platform for not only all things photography, but how to build a business, run a sales session, market your business and the key ingredient – self value. There is no stone left unturned as far as what you need to start, launch and build a successful photography business. Once I implemented what I learned from Sue Bryce and the educators on The Portrait System, I have grown to a $2700 sales average and am running a six figure photography business.
