Hi, I’m Dolly — a family photographer, marketing strategist, and systems & workflow educator for family photographers who want to find joy (and order) in their business again. Because I still work behind the camera, I understand firsthand how overwhelming the backend of a creative business can feel.
With my launch-strategist brain and a deep love for simple systems, I help photographers build intentional marketing rhythms and workflows that make it easier to show up consistently, attract the right clients, and actually enjoy running (and marketing) their business.
Through my blog, podcast, and YouTube education, I share actionable steps, real talk, and encouragement — all rooted in faith and intention — to help you bring clarity and confidence to your marketing and everyday systems. Because sustainable growth isn’t built on hustle or speed, but on thoughtful planning, consistency, and care.
Most family photographers aren’t inconsistent because they’re lazy—they’re inconsistent because they don’t have a clear plan, and this free guide gives you five evergreen Instagram posts you can use any week of the year to confidently attract the right families, book more sessions, and finally ditch the “what do I post today?” stress.
