The Shift That Took Catie from $1,200 to $3,500 Sessions


Listen on Apple Podcasts  |  Listen on Spotify

If you’ve been doing brand photography for a while but feel stuck at that $1,200–$1,500 price point, this episode is for you!

Catie has been a pro photographer for 15 years—weddings, seniors, and then a pivot into brand photography when her son started preschool. Even though she was booking solid sessions, she knew her work was worth more. She just didn’t know how to get clients to see that.

In this episode, Catie breaks down:

  • How she restructured her packages so price wasn’t tied to time
  • The pricing differentiator that made discovery calls effortless
  • The confidence shift that turned a $1,500 average into a $3,500 booking—without a single pushback
  • What happened when she leaned into positioning herself as the expert
  • Her top networking move (it wasn’t cold-DM’ing!) that brought in referrals
  • How the Rebrand community and coaching kept her accountable and inspired
