A short, practical mini-course for family, newborn, and maternity photographers who already offer artwork — but struggle to get clients to actually buy it.
PORTRAITS THAT SELL
And your clients aren’t cheap.
Most photographers struggle to sell artwork for one simple reason:
They introduce it too late — and in the wrong way.
By the time products are shown, clients have already decided:
“I’m just here for the photos.”
So albums and wall art feel optional… awkward… or overpriced.
Portraits That Sell shows you how to fix this before the session even happens by changing:
- how you position artwork
- when you introduce it
- how clients emotionally connect to it
- and how your pricing is framed
So when ordering time comes, buying artwork feels natural — not forced.
And your average sale finally matches the quality of your work.
If Your Clients Say They “Love Artwork” But Still Buy Digitals…
Sell $2,000+ Artwork Orders Without Shooting More Sessions
here's why:
you want to turn sessions into $2,000+ artwork orders — without shooting more or feeling salesy.
You’re in the right place if:
I was already doing IPS when I did a coaching call with her, but her guidance, support, and encouragement has been invaluable to my business! I definitely saw a huge increase in my sales per session after our call! She has even been so kind and generous to answer any follow up questions after our call. Learning from others in our field is something we should never stop doing, no matter where you are at in your journey. We can always learn and grow from each other. Marie is truly a gem of a person and anyone would be lucky to be mentored by her! I am so grateful to Marie! "

Your market feels “too budget.”
Digitals are limiting your income.
And shooting more isn’t the answer.
You’ve added artwork… but clients still only buy digitals.
or maybe...
I didn’t start with artwork.
I sold digitals, stayed busy, and thought that was just the reality.
When I added products, nothing changed. Clients said they loved them… then bought the cheapest option.
I blamed my market. My brand. My prices.
Wrong.
The problem was how artwork was positioned.
Once I fixed that, sales became consistent — not awkward or forced.
This course is the system I use today.
I Know This Frustration —
because I lived it.
You photograph LESS sessions…
But each one ends with real artwork orders — not just digitals.
Your calendar stops controlling your income.
Your pricing finally makes sense.
And you’re not relying on volume to survive.
That’s the shift this course is built to create.
Just imagine what it would feel like...

Not long ago, I was working full-time, building my photography business on the side, and hoping it could eventually support my family.
I sold digitals. I stayed busy. And when I first added artwork, nothing changed.
For an entire year, I made one artwork sale.
I assumed my clients wouldn’t pay.
I assumed my market was the problem.
It wasn’t.
The problem was how artwork was positioned.
Once I fixed that, sales became consistent — not awkward or rare.
Now most of my clients invest in albums or wall art.
This course breaks down exactly what I changed, so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way.
