Let me introduce you to Laura Burns, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Southern California. How Laura Tripled Her Photography Income and Went Full-Time is a story of perseverance, smart strategy, and taking control of her business.

Before joining the Six-Figure Business Map, Laura had been running her photography business for a few years while juggling a day job. She loved the weddings she was booking, but something wasn’t clicking—her inquiry flow was inconsistent, and she wasn’t booking enough to make photography her full-time career.

She knew she needed a roadmap to take her business to the next level. After joining the Business Map, everything changed. Laura fine-tuned her marketing, rebranded her business, and completely transformed the way she approached sales. The result? She tripled her annual income, hit six figures, and confidently stepped into full-time photography—all while booking her highest-paying weddings yet.

How Did She Do It?

1. A Strategic Giveaway That Led to Bookings
One of Laura’s first major shifts came when she implemented a new approach to giveaways. Instead of running a standard social media contest, she designed a high-value giveaway that led to real bookings. She gave away two engagement sessions, which resulted in four wedding bookings—including one she shot just last weekend.

2. Mastering Pricing and Sales
Before joining, Laura wasn’t confident in her pricing. Through the Business Map’s lessons on pricing psychology and sales strategy, she restructured her offers and positioned herself as a premium photographer. Her average booking price increased from $3,000 to $8,000—surpassing her original income goals.

3. Adding Videography as a High-Value Offer
Laura also expanded her business by offering videography—without needing to shoot or edit videos herself. By outsourcing the work, she increased her revenue while providing a more comprehensive service to her clients, making her brand even more desirable.

4. Leveraging Community Support and Business Mindset Shifts
The Business Map community became an essential part of Laura’s journey. Through brainstorming sessions, feedback on her website and branding, and real conversations with other photographers, she refined her business approach and built confidence in every decision she made.
