Or perhaps you’re only booking budget clients when what you really want are the couples who recognize your skills and are ready to spend $5K for their wedding photographs.
Why aren’t these couples knocking at your door?
During my 13 years as a wedding photographer, I began to see what separated the successful wedding photographers from the ones who struggled every day.
Some trends come and go, but I’ve identified the 5 Biggest Issues that have remained true for over a decade.
My students can confidently answer "HECK TO THE YES!!!!" and that is exactly what I want for you.

Before we go on, I want to pause here because I need you to know…
The cost for this program is a handsome 4 figures because that is the value I bring to the table.
Path #1: Do I keep going on my own, hoping I’ll figure it out?
Or...
Path #2: Do I seriously invest in myself and in a coach who can light the way?
My students were beyond frustrated.
Hearing that was heartbreaking because it doesn’t have to be that way. It took a leap of faith, but my awesome students chose Path #2. And guess what?

Within 6-12 months, they 8X'd their investment and are flourishing

“I booked $25,000 immediately after Carissa’s coaching program.”
I couldn’t believe it. Are they really about to pay me this? Is this a joke? I thought about shutting my business down, and I was losing hope. I’m now finally excited about the future.

This foundational pillar ensures your IG stops the scroll and your messaging speaks to your ideal client. Learn how your look, copy, and messaging all go hand in hand to create an envy-inducing brand. By doing so, you’ll attract clients who already know they want to work with you even before a single word is exchanged. You’ll never waste time and energy with clients who nickel and dime you again. You’ll stop focusing on what other photographers are doing and emerge into a wedding photographer unlike any other.
You'll learn how to...
✅Become a premier vendor and get on the most coveted lists
✅Use our done-for-you gorgeous brochure with your branding to wow venues and vendors
✅Go from "Competition"-to-"Tribe"
✅Build strong alliances online and offline
What other coaches do:
Most wedding photography programs miss this key strategy altogether by incorrectly focusing on things that don’t move the needle (like selling your soul on Instagram, creating content calendars, pushing out reels, and yada yada yada.)
What I do:
Using the Find Your Tribe Roadmap, all my students are getting on venue lists, but it doesn’t stop there. They’re getting on the preferred lists of other wedding vendors like wedding planners, florists, DJs, and more. They are building powerful relationships and alliances in the industry and making a name for themselves.
With my roadmap, you’ll be able to get venues and vendors to become ambassadors and billboards who WANT to help you. We’re talking warm leads that are ready to book. You can be at the beach, or you can hang with your kiddos screen-free and still feel like you're conquering your biz because you have built a family of supporters who are going to help you succeed.

✅Centerpiece Content (that's 95% done for you!)

✅The Magic Techy Stuff made easy
✅Automating lead gen
✅Easy-to-Implement Facebook Strategy
Once you’ve mastered the 6 Figure Brand & Powerhouse Portfolio Checklist and our Find Your Tribe Roadmap, I’ll guide you through the Woo Factor Selling System where I’ll share all the magic techy stuff to automate your biz and free up even more time. Together, we'll create "Centerpiece Content" that you can use to nurture your audience on autopilot. Using this strategy, you can wow your audience while simplifying your marketing -- just set it and forget it. You can finally get off that exhausting hamster content wheel, and stop throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping something will stick. I'll also show you how my students use an easy-to-implement Facebook strategy to get constant leads in their queue.
Learn how to...
✅Price yourself as a High Ticket Wedding Photographer
✅Lead an under-30 min call (no more 90 min sales calls)
✅Break down walls and genuinely connect with couples with Conversational Selling and my non-salesy script
✅Use album viewing to get the couple to sell themselves on your work
✅Close the couple in 24 hours
✅Use Calendly
What others do:
Many photographers get sales calls all wrong. They are either 1) scared and don't do them or 2) misunderstand the purpose. Others mistakenly go into a call trying to become their client’s best friend only to spend 90 minutes with a couple who was never gonna book.
What I do:
This is my zone of genius and by far my favorite topic. By learning my conversational selling method, I will teach you exactly what you need to say to make a genuine connection, get couples to sell themselves on your work, and reduce the call to under 30 minutes. You’ll learn the principles behind raising your prices, get your clients crying happy tears during this call, and we will help you get that heck yes in less than 24 hours. You'll learn to position yourself as an authority and learn to use the sales call to vet your clients -- not the other way around.

What other coaches do:
A lot of coaches teach basic sales, posing techniques, hand you cookie cutter scripts, and say "good luck".
What I do:
I will teach you what a successful wedding day looks like holistically. I will guide you through the entire client journey so you’re ultra prepared for the wedding day and never miss a shot again. I’ll share with you my Ultimate Wedding Questionnaire that has wowed every single client and has gotten me non-stop referrals and 5-star reviews. I’ll even teach you what to do and what to say on the actual wedding day. These special details are what led to other wedding guests booking me on the spot. If that has never happened to you, get ready. It’s exhilarating, fulfilling, and energizes you in ways you can’t imagine.

Without this program, I would still be struggling in my dead-end 9-5. If you’re on the fence, just jump in and do it.

“Booked out for the rest of 2022.”
Before working with Carissa, I had a hard time with pricing. Her live sales call was just pure GOLD. She gave me the confidence to work with high-end clients and seal deals. I confidently raised my rates by 50%, and I'm booked out for the year.

“Booked $9,000 in 3 weeks.”
Within a few weeks of joining Carissa's coaching program, I‘ve been getting great leads, already booked 3 weddings, and raised my prices by $1000 🤯

“Got on 2 preferred vendor lists within 3 weeks!”
Before Carissa’s program, I was shooting weddings for basically free. And I STILL had to haggle, show them my value, and defend my prices. Now I have clients coming to me, and more importantly, other industry professionals are acknowledging my worth and asking me to work with them.
