contest over

Think about it: How would 10k change your life and business? Show us and this epic grand prize – the ultimate photography studio makeover – could be yours!

Whether you’re just getting started or well into your career, everyone could benefit from a little help from time to time. This prize from Julia Kelleher and friends is here to to just that: “It’s the ultimate. It’s that BIG boost up for a business owner who needs a little extra help. The tools and prizes for the winner are amazing, business changing assets!  So many of them are hard for the beginner to acquire right off the bat because they are PRO assets that cost a lot, and this will seriously give them a launch into the stratosphere when it comes to taking their business to the next level. I would have given my right arm for it when I started!”

How to enter: We want to hear from you – Julia’s students – how this once in a lifetime prize would be a game changer. Film a video (no longer than 2 minutes in length) showing or explaining how Julia’s Ultimate Studio Makeover would impact your world as a photographer and business owner and submit it before November 1st, 2015. We’ll be selecting one winner based on originality, creativity, message, and photographic skill to announce during the wrap of Julia’s class Studio Systems: A Photography Business Bootcamp.

We’ve all had those ‘this is too hard, I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it’ moments. “It’s hard some days when you don’t have a lot of funds, you know you need certain things but you can’t get them right away.  It’s challenging when you first begin evaluating your work and you’re not sure if you’re good enough to charge. Staying inspired and motivated means always trying to learn, always growing and always self-assessing  to make yourself the best you can be. Try to look at it all as a process and enjoy that process. Getting good takes time. You have to stay kind to yourself and know that some days will be hard. You don’t have to be better than everyone else, you just have to try and be better than you were the day before. #KillGeorge” Julia is completely right, the struggle is real. And that’s why we want to give one lucky winner the ultimate studio makeover.

Wondering what all is included in this extreme prize valued at over $10,000?
