Wedding Photographer: the job a million girls would k!ll for 🖤

Did we just become best friends?!

We love a lot of things around here, and we aren’t shy about it! We may be serial entrepreneurs, but we are also HUMANS, after all! And doing life, alone, in this industry? No thanks!

Photographers don’t t struggle with their pricing because they’re bad at business. They’re struggle because our industry never gave them a real framework to work from or the permission to charge correctly. The Pricing Glowup does both.

The wedding photography inquiry process doesn’t feel the same as it did a few years ago.

If your leads have dried up, your response rate feels low, or clients keep ghosting you after what seemed like a great first conversation, you’re not imagining it.

Not “believe in yourself!” Not “charge your worth!” The stuff that actually changed how we thought about pricing & learned the hard way so you don’t have to.

Which one hit? Tell us in the comments. 👇

(P.S. We have tons of resources to help you with your pricing, including two new podcast episodes + The Pricing Glowup for just $99 this month!)

We may have gone a little extra on the extra credit 🍎💯

Somehow, it’s already been a week since we were at shooting this incredible setup by & sharing what we know with photographers! Here are just a few of our favorites from this editorial where we put the skills we teach inside the Posing, Skin Tones, and Flash Forward Glowups to work 💪

Reunited and SO excited to be teaching at LL26! Will we see you here?!

Let us guess: you’ve been to networking events where you stood in corners, pretended to check your phone, and left early because you “had another thing.”

Or worse, you psyched yourself up, walked up to someone, introduced yourself...
..and immediately blanked on what to say next.

The awkward silence. The forced laugh. The “well, nice meeting you!” exit after 30 seconds.

But you’re not bad at networking.

You just don’t have a system.

You’re winging it every time. That’s why you sometimes feel like throwing up before walking into a room full of strangers.

But what if you had a framework? Not just “be more confident” advice. An actual step-by-step process for:

✔️ Who to talk to (and how to find them before the event even starts)

✔️ What to say when you walk up to them

✔️ How to follow up without feeling like you’re bothering them

That’s what we teach in Networking 101—the class that’s been exclusive to our In the Glow community only until now.

And for February only, we’re opening it up for $99.

Want in? Comment “GOTM” and we’ll send you the link!

We’re Charla & Jenn, the gals behind Develope Academy.

If you’re new here (or if you’ve been lurking for a while and never actually knew what we do), this one’s for you. 🫶

We’re photography educators with a combined 30+ years shooting luxury weddings & portraits, but we’re also moms, true crime podcast addicts, dog people, and coffee-dependent humans just trying to help other photographers build businesses they actually love.

No teleprompters. No BS. No gatekeeping.

Whether you want hands-on help in our mastermind (In the Glow), a deep-dive course on a specific topic, or just solid Instagram content that makes you feel less alone in this wild industry—we’ve got you.

Hit that follow button if you’re into real education & a damn good time.

(P.S. If you’ve been here a while—hi, we love you, thanks for sticking around. Feel free to share this with a friend who needs us in their life.)
