If you’re a family photographer who wants clearer systems, stronger workflows, and a more strategic approach to marketing, then you are going to LOVE what I’m sharing today. Every year, business owners gear up for the biggest shopping weekend of the year—but for 2025, I decided to do something I’ve never done before inside Dolly DeLong Education…
Introducing:
✨ Five Days of Black Friday Deals designed specifically for family photographers and creative business owners!
This blog post is your official catalog for each deal happening November 24–28, 2025, and yes—if you’re reading this in the future—every single product is still available in the shop year-round. The discounts, however, are exclusive to these dates.
Let’s walk through the five days together so you can bookmark this page and return to each deal on its specific day.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the financial side of your business, you are not alone. Most family photographers avoid their numbers because it feels confusing, stressful, or “too business-y.”
That’s exactly why I created the Bookkeeping Template for Creatives.
This plug-and-play Google Sheets spreadsheet gives you:
A clear, color-coded layout
Monthly income + expense tracking
Step-by-step video training
A tax savings estimator
Lifetime updates
Bonus metric tracking
This is the system I still use in my own family photography business alongside my bookkeeper—even she loves it. Knowing your numbers gives you clarity, confidence, and direction as you make smart decisions for your business.
📌 Normal Price: $50
📌 Black Friday Price: 50% off on Nov 24 only

If you’re dreaming of launching a digital product, course, or offer but feel overwhelmed by the process, you’ll want this.
The Digital Product Launch Success Planner is the exact launch system and process I use:
In my own launches
With my 1:1 launch clients
For all the phases of a launch (literally, it maps out all the puzzle pieces you should be aware of)
This planner walks you through all four phases of a successful launch, so your entire plan is organized, mapped out, and actionable.
You’ll get:
✔ A fully built Trello board
✔ A video walkthrough
✔ Tools, prompts, + step-by-step instructions
✔ Lifetime updates
If you’re DIYing your next launch, this is the roadmap you’ve been wishing for.
📌 Normal Price: $97
📌 Black Friday Price: $40 (Nov 25 only)
This is the BIG one.
After two years of requests from photographers and students, I’m finally releasing my full client experience workflow—from inquiry to gallery delivery.
This is the exact system I’ve refined since 2018 to create a consistent, memorable, and high-touch photography experience.
Inside you’ll find:
A fully built Trello workflow
Editable cards + checklists
Communication + client care touchpoints
My actual client experience system
A bonus tutorial video
PLUS — a 24-hour bonus:
🎁 The Dubsado Mini Session Roadmap (normally $57) is included free on Nov 26.
If you’ve ever felt disorganized between inquiries, session prep, delivery, and follow-up… this is the workflow that changes everything. You can check it out here.
I talk about long-form content all the time inside the Family Photographers Marketing Society, because SEO + consistency = visibility.
This system gives you three different Trello workflows, depending on the content you create:
Blogging
YouTube
Podcasting
Each workflow helps you plan, create, publish, and repurpose long-form content strategically, sustainably, and without burning out. And yes—you get training videos for each board!
This is the system I use weekly in my own business to ensure I’m bringing in organic traffic from search engines… not just Instagram. I love the power of long-form content marketing, and I love that it is working for me behind the scenes (it’s literally doing the heavy lifting for my business). If you do not yet have a long-form content marketing plan for your family photography business, I strongly recommend you have one in place! Check out the deal here.
I saved one of the most loved resources for last!
The Family Photographers Marketing Society is my monthly membership that helps family photographers:
Stay visible
Stay consistent
Stay strategic with weekly marketing templates for Instagram and Email
Plan content 6–8 weeks in advance
Build systems for their social media + email marketing
Every Thursday, members receive:
✔ A weekly Instagram content template
✔ A weekly email marketing template
✔ Seasonal strategy guidance
✔ Visibility prompts
✔ Launch-aware content planning
This membership fuses my CMO brain + family photographer brain to give you marketing that feels doable, aligned, and sustainable.
📌 Normal Price: $40/month
📌 Black Friday Price: $25/month (Nov 28 only)

I created each of these resources with you in mind—the creative business owner who wants to simplify the backend of their business, stay visible online, and create a business that supports their life (not the other way around).
If you’re a family photographer in years 2–4 of your business, these tools will help you:
get organized
streamline your workflows
improve your client experience
strengthen your marketing
stay consistent
and build sustainable growth
If you are reading this blog now LIVE, please note that you can go to this page to see all the deals with the special price (it’s not on my regular shop page, just this one).
And if you’re reading this after November 2025—don’t worry! Every resource is still available in the shop.

Hi! I’m Dolly DeLong—a Nashville-based family photographer turned systems + marketing educator and Fractional CMO for family photographers and solo business owners. After years of juggling motherhood, running a thriving family photography business, and helping other creatives behind the scenes with their launches and marketing, I realized something: the backend matters just as much as your booking calendar.
Now, I serve two kinds of faith-driven creatives:
Family photographers who want to stop ghosting their audience and finally stay consistent with Instagram + email marketing.
Solo business owners who have a digital offer they want to launch—but feel completely overwhelmed by the pre-launch phase
Through my weekly podcast, YouTube channel, and blog, I offer strategic (but doable) content on systems, workflows, launch planning, and consistent marketing rhythms that won’t burn you out.
I’m here to help you stop duct-taping your backend together and instead build systems that support your life and values—whether you’re marketing mini sessions or launching a course.
When I’m not strategizing a launch calendar or batch recording content during nap time, you can find me photographing families in and around Nashville, watching reruns of Survivor, eating something sweet, or walking with a podcast in my ears. (Yes, I’m that girl.)
