When it comes to our photography careers, things can get complicated fast. Adding more sessions, more price tiers, more options and locations, etc. And while that can be good for building your business in the short term, it can also be a fast-track to burnout.

In this episode, I’m joined by Ingvild Kolnes who is sharing how she keeps her business simple and sustainable. She is offering some great advice on how she sets (and holds) boundaries in her photography business, how she stays connected to the parts of photography that she loves the most, and how all of that helps her to avoid burnout.

She’s also sharing a little about her mentorship program and how she teaches other photographers to build stable business too!

If you feel like you’ve been getting lost in your photography business, this episode is for you. Let’s dive in!
