Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Philip Warren of www.philip-warren.com shares how to run profitable Christmas mini Sessions for photographers in this episode where we approach his strategy step by step. Philip is a successful wedding photographer but realised there was a terrific opportunity to generate a boost in income after creating some beautiful Christmas themed photos for his family. Two years in and he has his processes down and is booking enough shoots to make this period of mini sessions an important part of his business – in regard to income PLUS staying in contact and delighting his previous wedding photography clients. The beauty of this approach to mini sessions and Philip's workflow is they can be applied to other events throughout the year. I know there are going to be a ton of takeaways from this episode if you're looking to add more income and change things up a little throughout the year.
