The Beliefs Holding You Back From Booking Clients on Instagram

I will never stop sharing my love for social media. Why? Because it’s one of the most powerful tools we have as business owners. And yet, so many photographers I work with are afraid of it. They worry about being vulnerable, about what showing up online says about them, and as a result, they hold back.

But here’s the truth: these limiting beliefs are keeping you from booking clients on Instagram. It doesn’t matter how solid your strategy is or how many content ideas you have—if you can’t work through these beliefs, you’ll struggle to see results.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common beliefs I hear (and have struggled with myself!) and how to start talking back to those scary voices in your head so you can finally use social media to connect with the right people and book more clients.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why “nobody cares” and “I’m not that interesting” are lies you’re telling yourself
  • How practicing is the only way to get better at showing up online
  • Why your life doesn’t need to look perfectly aesthetic to attract clients
  • How to share what feels comfortable while still making genuine connections
  • Why “professionalism” doesn’t mean hiding who you are
  • The power of recognizing your red flag thoughts and shifting them into possibility
