Education for Photographers
Educational articles, how-to guides, and resources for wedding and elopement photographers.
Hey! I’m Nina Larsen Reed
You might be asking yourself “who the heck is this chick, and why would I want to learn from her?” And I get it.
I’m not Insta-famous, I haven’t won a Rangefinder award, and I’ve only been a wedding photographer for three years.
But I know what works.
I booked 33 weddings and made six figure revenue in my first full year of photographing weddings. I increased my profits by 45% in year two. I went from booking my first $750 Craigslist wedding to booking a $5000 elopement in sixteen months.
And more importantly than numbers: I love my job and my couples. I don’t spend long evenings editing, and I take plenty of time off to go hiking, travel the world, and snuggle with my cats and husband (in that order).
If you want to learn how you can get these kinds of results while creating a life and business that you love, I’m here to help.
