Become the "Irresistible Artist"
For creative entrepreneurs, it can feel like work & life are at odds
in your business—but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Let me guess:
When you're creating, you’re confident & excited by your work …
But when you sit down at your computer to actually run your business …
Doubt creeps in making you wonder if you’re actually capable of growing & sustaining your business.
^^Oy. Been there.
You’re stuck wondering if it's possible to create a profitable, money-making business that doesn't require you
to work ALL the time (hello, family)—but if you raise your rates, will anyone ever book you?
After all, if you accept less work to open up just a little space in your calendar, will your income ever be enough?
You know those people who no matter what they do, always seem to succeed?
I do. I know lots of them. Honestly, they used to frustrate me.
What makes them so special? Why are they booking the clients I know are ideal for me?!
I'll tell you why ...
They have more than just a dream and a passion.
They have a system that consistently converts their ideal prospects into signed-sealed-delivered paying clients so they can have the freedom to truly set their schedule, know their income, and enjoy the life that this sustainable and profitable business creates!
Here's the deal, friend:
If you don’t have a system that keeps your business calendar full (ahem, as full as you’d like it) and paying clients in the queue … all you really have is a passion and incredible talent (and, let’s be honest, more stress than anyone has time for) … and as much as I’d like to say otherwise, that doesn't pay the bills.
Trust me, I know.
(I won't stand by and watch your passion burning out because of poor planning!)
It sounds simple—and it is—but odds are, what really works goes against every instinct you have in this business. And that’s hard to navigate.
You need the system that ...
“I’m doing the best* I can!”
(*I know you are—and I know you’re really trying.)
I’ve been right where you are—in fact maybe worse.
Three years ago I almost closed my business because my “best” wasn’t getting me anywhere near the business I needed or the life I wanted.
Before I became a mom ...
I was able to hold it all together myself—but without systems in place to support my goals, my business started to decline as soon as I shifted my focus.
The moment my time and energy started going toward my newborn daughter, my business started to unravel.
Suddenly the business I’d built to thrive with no real marketing plan was more like crickets and gaping holes in my work schedule—as much as I wanted time at home, I also needed to work.
As inquiries slowed, I worked harder and harder to be more intentional with every single potential client. I tried to blog more, be more consistent on Instagram, and even did a total overhaul of our branding, but nothing seemed to make a difference.
It was one of the hardest seasons of my life.
If that’s where YOU are …
KNOW THIS:
there's a better way.
business so that—
• The work you do (and the people you get to photograph) lights you up inside. It makes you excited to “go to work” and even helps you return home refreshed, energized, and encouraged, so that you can show up as your best self in the other, non-professional areas of your life.
• Worrying about paying your bills (& yourself!) is a thing of the past. Now, you get to find ways to reinvest in your business and your own growth in a way that helps you grow and sustain your business so that it becomes life-GIVING instead of life-draining.
• When you sit down to work each day you know exactly what to work on to make progress in your business, so you can balance life & work without burning the candle at both ends.
Too many talented artists are
paying themselves less than minimum wage
for highly skilled, meaningful work.
*Pauses while you do the math.*
Maybe you’re one of them?
When you add up the number of hours you spend planning, shooting, & editing …
then pay the hard costs in your business … then pay yourself … What's your hourly rate?
HINT: I can almost promise you, it’s not what your time is worth.
Let me teach you how to fix it.
introducing
THE ART OF BOOKING
The signature program for creative entrepreneurs to help grow your income
while cultivating rhythm & balance in your life.
your most fulfilled life.
This process is the exact method I used to take my business from almost shutting down to a six-figure income on less than 10 weddings in one year.
(And a vacation in St. John … what!?)
The Art of Booking is 5 modules including 10 hours of video training, group coaching calls, booking templates including emails, customizable brochures, & workflows, and expert insights from 6 different educators I trust for guidance in my own business.
+ A deeper understanding of the psychology behind a purchase—and the tools to shift your own mindset going into the sales process.
+ Your #1 defense against the temptation to discount your services: my guide to pricing for profitability gives you step-by-step formula to know your numbers and charge for your services confidently and appropriately.
+ My formula for setting up the sales funnel that will help you develop a steady stream of ideal clients, even if the words “sales” and “marketing” make you cringe (Just like I did at first!)
+ The fool-proof method to avoid the overwhelm when it comes to social media, blogging, SEO and more—and how to get more strategic by doing just one thing well to boost your bookings. (No, you don’t have to be on EVERY platform.)
+ The approach to business that changed my life—I’ll give you my workflow guides for Pinterest, Instagram, and phone calls to save your precious time & get you away from your desk so you can focus on the parts of your business (and your life!) that matter most.
+ Ideas & systems to over-deliver with your clients after you book—we’re talking everything from systems & workflows that keep you on track to special extras like client gifts and smart marketing at industry events.
"The Art of Booking was an answered prayer when I needed clear steps & direction.
I know there are a million courses and workshops out there, but Elizabeth really cuts through all of the fluff and gives real & tangible advice to improve your business."

Don't just take my word for it ...
Meet Megan.
“I’ve analyzed my numbers before, but I’ve always found the process overwhelming.
Elizabeth’s guide was incredibly helpful + simple for focusing on the numbers that matter most.
I especially found her time tracking enlightening. I never looked at how I was spending my time with marketing, and this was incredibly helpful for finding the measures that were making the most impact.”
Meet Tanya.
“Thankful to have found the course and now I know what I should be charging to make a profit for my family.
Since starting the course I have a much better plan laid out for booking clients, and have booked 3 weddings within two weeks applying the strategies taught.”
Meet Alicia.
“Before going through the process, I never knew that you could calculate and understand how much you are making per hour and how that correlates with the packages you offer.
It turns out, there’s an actual, numerical way of figuring out if you are pricing yourself correctly. It was really eye opening for me.”
And just who am I?
When I’m not behind the lens or on the other side of the screen, you can find me enjoying my backyard—which I’ve lovingly transformed into a secret-garden style oasis to restore the calm to my Enneagram-9 creative mind when it’s filled with too many ideas.
My passion is making businesses profitable, sustainable, and automated so that we can do our work & live our lives, too, while never losing the joy of why we became photographers in the first place.
What if there aren’t enough of my “ideal client” to fill my calendar & keep money coming in?
I get it—narrowing the scope of your potential clients can be scary, but the saying goes: “the riches are in the niches.” The more you focus & specialize, the more irresistible your work becomes to the people you want to serve—which keeps inquiries from ideal clients on tap. Plus, investing a little bit of time on the front end to attract your perfect fit saves lots of time processing inquiries from anyone who isn’t an ideal client.
Yikes, I just don’t think I can spend $1497 right now!
Oh boy do I understand—that’s why we offer an 8-month payment plan that gets your monthly payments down to $189 a month. Isn’t it worth it to increase your income, increase your bookings, all while systematizing your business to get your calendar and schedule under control so you have time to do the things and invest in the people you love? How easy would it be to increase your prices even by $200 to cover this cost, so you can discover even MORE freedom in earning and booking clients with less worry?
I don’t think I have time for this. How much time will it take?
The entire curriculum is about 10 hours of training—and the work you’ll do in your business is intended to free up your time and get you away from your desk & computer all.the.dang.time … I’d imagine if you’ve read this far, the more likely situation is that you, your family, & your business don’t have time for you to NOT do this. I’ve been where you are, I know it’s overwhelming, but I also know this program works—don’t let the idea of being “too busy” get in the way. By the time you get to Module 2, which only takes an hour, you'll see a significant change in how you price your services! You'll be well on your way to freeing up hundreds of hours each year as you implement the system in Module 3. Plus, you have lifetime access to the material—so if you ever need to, just pause!
I have more questions, how can I get in touch?
I’m happy to answer them—shoot me an email at support@almondleafstudios.com or slide into my DM’s on Instagram. I can’t wait to chat!
It’s time to make a change in your business & learn The Art of Booking …
