Recent Posts

Want to know the secret to standing out in your photography business with your blog? It’s using your blog strategically to answer questions while still showing off your amazing work. We’ve seen too many times blogs written by professional photographers that are only a couple of short sentences at the beginning with a gallery of their work underneath the text – yes, we’re calling you out if you’re still doing that. 

If you want your blog to rank on Google and actually take anyone who finds your blog to the next step of booking you, then your blog needs to go further. Your blog should show off your work, but it shouldn’t just be a story about a couple or family and then using their names as the URL, and after that, calling it a day.

Rather, your blog should answer the important questions about whatever topic you’re writing about, and to take your blog to the next level, it’s always good to take unique angles on posts to make them stand out more and connect with your ideal client. 

As a brand and web design agency for photographers, we also offer DFY blogging for our clients and have seen over and over again how strategic blogs that answer important questions not only help our clients rank on Google but also help them fill up their calendar with new bookings!
