Training Customer Testimonial: Allison Bos Photography

Yesterday I got the sweetest email from Allison regarding the Photographer's Kick Start: Training module that she purchased to help get her started in offering a beginner's photography class to her customers.  Before the product was released Allison had emailed me to ask me about purchasing early since she was going to be out of the country on vacation during the release...but then she was able to purchase during her vacation and downloaded it at an internet cafe so she could start customizing it on her vacation: that's dedication.  Here's her email from yesterday:

I just wanted to say thank you again for developing this awesome program! I have my first class in 4 hours and I couldn't be more excited - wish me luck!!! Also thank you for having the directory of photographers offering this class - I have had 2 of my 6 students find me through your site. Having your ratings and my city name has me at the top of the page and my classes are googleable even though my new site promoting the class isn't even on the first page. My next "to do" after I have finished this class is to read the SEO book to get my site on the first page. I'll let you know how the class goes. Thanks again! -Allison

Allison took it to the next level by creating a sub-section of her photography website to feature her photography classes.  Way to go Allison!!

How are you using the Photographer's Kick Start: Training materials?  I'd love to know.  Shoot me an email and you may be the next photographer featured on the Photographer's Kick Start blog.  I'd love to see how folks are customizing the training materials to coordinate with their branding, and any other ways you've expanded the materials!

What is it?

There has been a trend in photography studios to start offering beginner's photography classes to the moms that are also their clients.  This is a great way to generate revenue and build a better relationship with your clients. Some of my best clients have also taken my class.  I know it can be overwhelming to know where to begin when it comes to setting up a training program and that's where the Photographer's Kick Start: Training comes in.  This digital product provides you with a solid foundation to start your own training program to offer beginner's photography classes to moms in your market.  The materials can be customized to meet the needs of your clients and to coordinate with your branding.  If you've ever stared at a blank computer screen trying to write something from scratch, you'll know that it is easier to edit something that already exists.  And the materials have been updated based on the feedback we received from the group that purchased during our April pre-release sale.

Photographers Directory

Photographers Directory

As part of our pre-release, we offered the option to be included in our Photographers Directory on our I Want to Shoot My Kids website.  We've had a few of the photographers send in the information to be included in the directory so we were able to set it up.  The directory is linked to from the splash screen of the I Want to Shoot My Kids website, and from within the main navigation of the website.  Inclusion in the directory will help moms looking for a photography class find you, and will also help with your search engine ranking!

We'll be including a free one year listing on our directory to any photographer that purchases the training module on the first day of the release, May 21st!

About Us


  • Jessica Grieves
    I started my portrait photography business, Bubblegum Tree Photography, in August 2006 in Houston TX. My background is in web development, project management, and technical training so those aspects of my photography business are especially interesting to me. I started teaching photography classes to moms in 2008 after being asked time and again by my customers how to use their cameras. I've kept an online journal about my experiences building my photography business at Hey Girl, Nice Shot. I'm the photography writer for Houston Mama, and I've written numerous guest posts and spoken at photographer's workshops to share some of the things I've learned.
