#187: Does Wall Artwork Serve Your Clients? An Interview With My First $1,000 Client from 21 Years Ago!

Today, I’m interviewing my very first boutique client, Julie - YES, THE JULIE!!! who invested over $1,800 on artwork of her daughter 21 years ago! You’ve probably heard me talk about my Julie if you’ve been around my community for a bit. Before Julie, my largest order had been teeny tiny. But once Julie became my client, everything changed for me.  I finally saw what was possible for my photography business. It was at that point that I knew that if one client loved what I was doing enough to invest over $1,000, there were more like her out there. And that’s why I celebrate so hard for my students when they get their first “Julie!” In this interview, you’ll hear what Julie was thinking when she made the investment as a newlywed and new mom on a budget. And if you keep hearing from people that you’re too expensive, you’ll get a glimpse inside the thoughts and feelings of a right-fit client so you can see how this model works when your marketing attracts them.
