When I left my 9-5 job in 2018, I was a wedding photographer, and at one point I ventured into product photography.I got connected with a brand called Little Sleepies and worked with them for a few years. They were my first official brand photography client, and I learned so much through that experience.I think what really worked with this relationship was Little Sleepies and I were both new at the same time. This concept of connecting with new businesses is something I help my clients with who are looking to explore brand photography. Shooting for free or at discounted rates to get experience and build relationships is actually an unpopular opinion I have.This episode shares my thoughts on that, my experience with Little Sleepies, and details for a live masterclass happening October 17th.Episode Highlights:00:00 Masterclass Details01:57 Transition from Wedding to Brand Photography03:50 First Brand Photography Client: Little Sleepies06:01 Lessons Learned from Little Sleepies10:04 The Value of Free Shoots14:35 Client-Centric Approach in Brand PhotographyCONNECT WITH MADDIE:InstagramWebsiteLINKS:I'm hosting a live masterclass, Three Secrets to Booking Brand Photography Clients, on October 17th at 12pm Central.
