| A Travel Points System for Family Photographers w/ Megan Lanford | 29 Jun 2026 | 00:41:08 | |
What if the money you're already spending to run your family photography business could also fund your next family vacation? In this episode, I'm sitting down with travel points coach Megan Lanford of Points Too Paradise to break down the actual system behind earning and using credit card points for free travel. I also put Megan on the spot and have her walk me through planning my son's birthday trip to Universal Studios Orlando using points. Megan went from barely affording one family vacation a year to taking seven vacations annually, saving over $30,000 on travel (and it's continuing to grow too!) She now teaches moms and business owners how to turn their everyday spending into dream vacations through her course and membership, the Travel Points Academy.

| Your Santa Mini Sessions Need These 3 Things | 22 Jun 2026 | 00:30:03 | |
I sat down with Santa Scott himself for this one, and yes, I mean a real, professional Santa Claus with 51 years of experience. If you're a family photographer thinking about adding Santa minis to your holiday lineup this year (or making them run smoother than last year), this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes insight you won't find in a Facebook group thread. Santa Scott has been portraying Santa Claus for over five decades, starting at age 16 when he suited up for a little girl whose kindergarten teacher told her Santa wasn't real. He now works with multiple family photographers across Middle Tennessee and brings professional training, intentional presence, and a whole lot of Christmas magic to every session.

| How to Build an SEO System as a Solo Family Photographer w/ Brittany Herzberg | 15 Jun 2026 | 00:41:20 | |
You know SEO matters for your photography business. You have heard it a hundred times. But every time you sit down to actually do it, you freeze up, second-guess yourself, and end up scrolling Instagram instead. Sound familiar? In this episode, I'm sitting down with SEO strategist Brittany Herzberg to break down how to build an SEO system you can actually maintain as a solo family photographer. Brittany is the creator of the SEO and Grow method and the host of the Basic B podcast. She went from being a massage therapist who could barely make rent to accidentally discovering that SEO was the reason clients were finding her online. Now she teaches established entrepreneurs how to stop chasing clients on social media and start getting found on Google. She also serves as the SEO strategist inside The Family Photographer's Marketing Society, where she teaches foundational SEO skills to our members every single month.

| 5 AI Prompts to Build Your Photography Business SOPs | 08 Jun 2026 | 00:30:15 | |
You know that moment when a new inquiry hits your inbox, and you freeze? Not because you don't want to respond, but because you can't remember what you said last time, whether you should mention pricing, or where that one email template went? Yeah. That's what happens when your entire business lives in your head. In this episode, I'm walking you through five specific AI prompts you can use today to build out the SOPs your family photography business has been missing. We're talking your client inquiry response, your session prep workflow, your gallery delivery process, your review and referral request system, and your content batching workflow. I give you the exact prompt language, what you should get back from AI, and how to personalize each draft so it sounds like you and not like a robot wrote it.

| The Marketing Most Family Photographers Are Skipping | 01 Jun 2026 | 00:22:04 | |
A mom finds you on Instagram. She loves your work. She visits your website. And then she closes the tab, finishes making dinner, and two months later books a different photographer in your city. Sound familiar? That is not a portfolio problem. That is a middle-of-the-funnel marketing problem. And in this episode, I am breaking down five strategies you can start using this week to stop losing warm leads and start building the kind of trust that actually turns followers into booked clients.

| SEO for Family Photographers: How To Rank On Google | 25 May 2026 | 00:22:19 | |
If you've been avoiding SEO because it sounds like something only tech people care about, this episode is going to change your mind. I'm breaking down exactly what SEO means for your family photography business, why it has become one of the top inquiry sources for photographers who actually invest in it, and the three things you can do this week to start showing up on Google. This is a solo episode, and I'm talking about this because I keep seeing the same pattern: family photographers with beautiful websites and zero visibility on Google. The families searching for a photographer in your city right now are not scrolling Instagram. They are typing into Google. And they are ready to book. So let's make sure they can find you.

| What to Post on Instagram as a Family Photographer (Full Week Planned) | 18 May 2026 | 00:22:16 | |
If you have ever opened Instagram, stared at the screen for three minutes, and then closed the app because you had no idea what to post... this episode is your permission slip to stop winging it. In this episode, I am building you an entire week of Instagram content in real time. Five posts. Five days. Hooks, captions, and CTAs mapped to the client journey using my 4C Method (Connection, Clarify, Celebration, Call to Action). You can watch me walk through this step by step on YouTube (linked in the blog post below) or listen right here on the podcast. Either way, you are walking away with a plan. ▸ Read the full blog post that goes with this episode (that way, you get all the links mentioned): https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/what-to-post-on-instagram-as-a-family-photographer-this-week/ ▸ The Family Photographer's Marketing Society ($40/month, cancel anytime): https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/the-family-photographers-marketing-society ▸ The Blogging and Organic Visibility System: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/blogging-visibility-system-youtube ▸ Free Instagram Post Templates for Family Photographers: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/instagram-posts-for-family-photographers ▸ Grab the FREE Family Photographers Marketing Trends Report: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/family-photography-marketing-trends ▸ Business Tools I Recommend: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/business-tools ✅ Sign up for weekly reminders + free resources here → Business Tools 🥳 Share a screenshot of this episode on your IG story and tag me @dollydelongeducation so I can cheer you on! 🔗 Affiliate links included.

| How Families Actually Find and Book Family Photographers in 2026 | 11 May 2026 | 00:20:15 | |
If your marketing plan is "post a pretty photo on Instagram and hope families find me"... we need to talk. I spent the last several months looking at the actual data on how families are finding and hiring family photographers right now in 2026, and the path they take from "we need family photos" to "take my money" looks nothing like what worked in 2022 or 2023. In this episode (which you can also watch on YouTube), I'm walking you through each stage of the modern client journey so you can see exactly where to show up, what families are looking for at each step, and which marketing channel has the highest ROI. Spoiler: it's probably not the one you think. I've been running my own Nashville-based family photography business since 2018 and leading the Family Photographers Marketing Society for over a year and a half. I'm not just teaching theory here. I am booking families while I teach other family photographers how to do the same through backend systems, workflows, and a consistent marketing cadence.

| Your AI Writes Terrible Content Because You Skipped This | 04 May 2026 | 00:35:03 | |
What if I told you that one single blog post could fuel your email newsletter, your Pinterest pins, your Instagram, your Facebook, your LinkedIn, AND your Google Business Profile update for the entire week? That is exactly what I'm breaking down in this episode of the Systems and Workflow Magic Podcast, and yes, you can watch the full training on YouTube or listen right here. Most family photographers I talk to are either spending way too many hours creating content from scratch for every platform, or they're frozen because the overwhelm won the battle that week. Both of those problems point to the same root issue: the way most of us have been taught to create content is broken. So today, I'm walking you through my entire AI-powered content repurposing system, starting with the foundation that makes it all work (your brand voice guidebook) and ending with a real-life example of what one week of marketing looks like when you have a system behind it.

| How to Stop Wasting Money on Courses You Never Use as a Family Photographer | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:31:55 | |
Be honest with me for a second. How many courses or memberships are sitting in your hard drive, your email, or your Google Drive right now... untouched? If your hand just went up, welcome. You are in very good company. In this episode (which you can watch on YouTube or listen to right here), I'm putting on my counseling hat (yes, I have a master's in mental health counseling, and no, I won't invoice you 😆) to walk through the five real reasons you're not using the education you've already paid for and the five steps to reengage this week. This is not a lecture. This is not me wagging my finger at you. This is a real conversation about the gap between purchasing education and actually using it. I've been guilty of this too, and I want us to work through it together so we can stop leaving money on the table and start making progress in our businesses.

| A Family Photographer's Guide to Building Your First Workflow | 20 Apr 2026 | 00:40:56 | |
Can you answer this question right now, off the top of your head: what happens from the moment a client fills out your contact form to the moment you deliver their gallery? Every single step? If you're blanking (or cringing a little), this episode is your wake-up call, and I mean that with so much love. In this episode of the Systems and Workflow Magic Podcast, I'm revisiting one of my oldest episodes from over five years ago and giving it a major refresh, because we need to get back to the foundations. I'm walking you through five concrete steps to building your very first business workflow as a family photographer, and I'm sharing the embarrassing SD card story that made me realize my business was running on memory and prayers instead of actual systems. I decided to redo this episode because I've worked with hundreds of family photographers (especially inside my membership, The Family Photographers Marketing Society), and I keep seeing the same pattern: you know your process, you've done it dozens of times, but it's all trapped in your head. And when everything lives in your brain, things get dropped. This episode is your permission slip to start with just one workflow and build from there.

| Your Mini Sessions Aren't Booking. Now What? | 13 Apr 2026 | 00:23:36 | |
Are your sessions sitting with empty spots, and it's making your stomach hurt? Same. In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on exactly how I built a simple giveaway strategy that helped me fill motherhood session spots, grew my email list by 25+ local families, and gave me a repeatable system I can use year after year. Here's the deal: 2026 has been different. Sessions aren't booking the way they used to, and I'm hearing this from family photographers everywhere. So instead of panicking (okay, I gave myself five minutes to panic), I sat down and treated my motherhood sessions like a mini launch. I worked backwards from my session date, built out evergreen infrastructure, created long-form content, ran a strategic Instagram giveaway tied to my email list, and then nurtured that list. I'm walking you through every single step so you can take this strategy and apply it to your own minis.

| 3 Things I'm Doing in April to Market My Family Photography Business | 06 Apr 2026 | 00:35:37 | |
I'm spilling the tea on exactly what I'm doing this April to market my family photography business, and fair warning, one of these three strategies is getting me way outside my comfort zone (and it has nothing to do with cameras). Whether you watch this on YouTube or listen on the podcast, you're walking away with three specific, doable marketing moves you can steal for your own business this spring. Spring is not just a busy season for family photographers. It is your launch runway for summer and fall bookings. The momentum you build right now is what fills your calendar in three to six months. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own April marketing plan: the SEO foundation work I'm grinding through, the in-person networking event I'm forcing myself to attend (pray for me), and the one Instagram metric that is changing how I think about content in 2026.

| Broken Links Are Quietly Wrecking Your SEO | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:26:01 | |
Okay, family photographer, I need you to be honest with yourself for a second: when was the last time you checked your website for broken links? Not just a quick glance at your homepage. I mean, actually going through and making sure every single link works. Because I just discovered that my own website had over 166 sessions landing on a "page not found" error, and I'm spilling the tea on all of it in this episode. Whether you watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast player, stick around because I'm walking you through why broken links matter, showing you a completely free tool to find yours, and doing a live demo of how I'm fixing mine in real time. Here's the backstory: I've spent the last four years separating my photography website from my systems and workflow education website. I'm a solo business owner doing it all myself, and I believe in slow, sustainable growth (and I'm willing to put in the work)! But when I checked Google Analytics and saw that "page not found" was one of my top three most visited pages? Yeah, I spiraled for about five minutes. Then I made a plan. Because that's what we do around here.

| The One Stat About Blogging That Will Change Your Marketing Plan | 23 Mar 2026 | 00:48:07 | |
Be honest with yourself for a second. When was the last time you sat down at the very start of a month and knew, before the first week even hit, exactly what you were going to blog, what Instagram content was coming from that blog, and what you were emailing your list? Not reacting to a slow week. Not panic posting because inquiries dried up. Just a plan, a real one. If that question made you squirm a little, this episode is for you. In Episode 226, I'm spilling the tea with content marketing strategist Kara Duncan of The Kara Report, and we are breaking down why strategic SEO blogging is the marketing foundation most family photographers are skipping, and how one blog post can fuel your entire week of content across Instagram and email. I'm sitting down with Kara Duncan, the founder of The Kara Report, where she does content marketing, specifically Pinterest and blogging, for service-based businesses, mostly photographers. Full transparency: Kara writes the blog posts for my photography business. When I knew I needed to record a blogging episode built for family photographers, she was my first call. We also have a pretty big announcement at the end of this one, so make sure you listen all the way through!

| Family Photographer Marketing Case Study | How One Family Photographer Used SEO, Systems, and Batching to improve her business | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:32:37 | |
In this episode of the Systems & Workflow Magic Podcast, I’m sitting down with fellow family photographer Jenny Macy to discuss something many photographers struggle with: consistently marketing while running a busy business and raising a family. Jenny shares her story of building a photography business across three different states, ranking on the first page of Google, and eventually growing into a national associate photography team — all while raising three young kids 🥳 We also talk about how she uses the Family Photographers Marketing Society to simplify her weekly marketing so she can spend less time stressing about captions and more time focusing on her business and family. ▸ Read the full blog post that goes with this episode (that way, you get all the links mentioned): https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/seo-blogging-batching-marketing-strategy-family-photographers/ ▸ The Family Photographer's Marketing Society: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/the-family-photographers-marketing-society ▸ Grab the FREE 2026 Family Photographers Marketing Trends Report: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/family-photography-marketing-trends 📱Instagram: @thescalablephotographyco 💻Website: https://thescalablephotographyco.com/ 🎥YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCod6O9Qeqq2DTZqDhJhuwEw 💻 Website 🎥 YouTube ✅ Sign up for weekly reminders + free resources here → Business Tools 🥳 Share a screenshot of this episode on your IG story and tag me @dollydelongeducation so I can cheer you on! 🔗 Affiliate links included.

| Case Study: How a Busy Mom Family Photographer Booked Sessions With Email Marketing | 09 Mar 2026 | 00:31:12 | |
What if booking sessions didn’t require posting every day, chasing trends, or living on Instagram? In today’s case study, I’m sharing the real story of a busy mom family photographer who used email marketing — not hustle — to stay consistent and book sessions in a full season of life. She has two young kids. A husband with an unpredictable schedule. And limited work hours each week. And yet… she filled sessions. The difference? She stopped trying to piece together marketing advice from everywhere online and started following a simple, structured weekly plan inside The Family Photographers Marketing Society. Instead of guessing what to post… Instead of scrolling to see what everyone else was doing… Instead of letting email marketing sit on the back burner… She used the membership’s weekly marketing prompts, batching checklist, and email guidance to stay visible in a way that actually fit her life. Let’s break down exactly what she is utilizing inside The Family Photographer's Marketing Society Today!

| STOP Guessing Your Pay As A Family Photographer (7 Numbers THAT MATTER) | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:21:13 | |
If you’re a family photographer who feels busy, booked, and still confused about what you should actually be paying yourself… this episode is for you. Maybe you’ve wondered: -Why does paying myself feel so draining? -Why does everyone else online seem to have it figured out? -Why am I booking sessions but still unsure what I can actually bring home? Here’s the truth: Most family photographers aren’t underpaid because they’re doing something wrong. They’re underpaid because they’re missing a clear system.

Big question for you, family photographer: Are you treating February like a slow month OR like a setup (like SYSTEMS) month?
