Grow Your Portrait Photography Business with Laura Esmond is the go-to podcast for women portrait photographers who want to build a profitable, sustainable, and confidence-filled business. Hosted by Laura Esmond — mom of three, educator, coach, and multi–six-figure photographer for over 25 years — this show teaches you how to market your portrait photography business, price your sessions for profit, sell photography products with confidence, and automate your business so you can work less and earn more.
After scaling her own portrait studio to multi–six figures in under two years (and sustaining multi–six figures in photography for more than two decades), Laura now helps photographers learn the strategies that actually grow a portrait photography business without burnout. Each week you’ll hear mindset shifts, marketing strategies for portrait photographers, pricing tips, automation tools, and real talk about selling heirloom products and artwork to clients — all designed to help you attract clients, increase your income, and run a portrait photography business you love.
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale, this podcast will help you go from overwhelmed to empowered in your photography business. No filters, no highlight reels — just honest conversations to help you grow your portrait photography business with confidence.
