    I like Julia‘s way of presenting. Lots of information. Great course

  • Khushboo S. Nov 11, 2020

    I love the course! It has everything I wanted to learn about a photography business in a systematic way. The only issue I am facing is that some links mentioned in the worksheet are not working and show 404 Error when I try to access them.

    I've listened the course from the first lesson to the last. That's the only way to be objective on the course - to see the whole picture. And I can surely state, that Julia - is Tony Robbins of the Photography. At first, I've got very irritated with all the So and Ok, with that pushy style, a waterfall of words and repetitions, and lots of water between the lines. BUT. when I reached the last second of the last lesson, I was so sure - It was worth it! The main advantage of the course is not even the particular knowledge (which you still walk away with) of sales and marketing of the professional photo-business, but the mind set of a winner, Julia sets up in your brain from lesson to lesson. The course is not perfect (neither any of us or anything), but it gives you such a boost of energy to pursue your dream of being a successful professional, that it worth watching it 100%. If you have a patience, of course, and don't tend to give up on the early stages... and huge respect for the huge effort and being SO open on her business and showing it all (or almost? )) ) Bravo, Julia!

    Lots of information in the course but too bad all of the freebies or coupon codes were inactive. There shouldn't still have those visible as "downloadable" if they are not active. It would be great if CreativeLive could substitute for other coupon codes of the classes in CL would be great.

  • O. Feb 18, 2018

    Although I just watched the free lessons (the first two). This class is really, really good from the information I've watched. I will definitely purchase the entire course when I'm able. Being a skeptic as myself, I must say Julia really brings it! Not too many online courses are able to keep my attention solely focused on the content and taking notes. If you're debating whether or not to purchase this course. GET IT!

  • Mya A. Feb 16, 2018

    The first thing that stands out to me about Julia is her awareness of her audience and moreso her potential audience. The adjustments and qualifications for different countries are very inclusive and insightful.

  • Robyn M. Feb 10, 2018

    I thought this course was fantastic! So so much information, it took me from "I don't know what the heck I am doing" to feeling seriously confident about launching my biz. A lot of it is geared toward Julia's niche, newborns, but all can be applied to any niche. I highly recommend this class for getting super organized and not letting the ball drop in any area of your biz :)

  • Kim F. Dec 5, 2017

    After having watched only the first four segments of this course, I am blown away. The level of detail is astounding, I have already gotten my money's worth. Thank you, Julia and Creative Live, for this fabulous resource.

  • N. Aug 31, 2017

    First of all, I think my husband hates this course....because I've been listening to it while I walk in the mornings and every single day I come and and rave about something new I heard or a different angle I thought about! It's wonderful! This course is just chock full of so much stuff. I wish I had heard this all about 5 years ago. Perfect, and maybe a little overwhelming, for a newbie, but I've been at this for 6 years, and I still found a ton of things I can improve on. The packaging section alone will likely pay for the course in how I improve what I already have. Love the in-studio parts to see stuff in action and the presentation parts are so well done too - she's a gifted teacher. Thanks Julia!

  • Marissa K. Jan 10, 2017

    I loved this course. She is clear and passionate. I have so many tools to keep my business organized. She really has covered everything!

  • Christy W. Jan 2, 2017

    I'm not new to IPS, but I'm not a master either. I have always enjoyed Julia's style of work and teaching. I watched the class on one screen while I worked at the studio on the other screen. Even for me it was VERY beneficial. I would recommend it for all levels of photographers. If you are a newbie, this class is PERFECT for you. It will give you the confidence you need to succeed.

  • Tammy L. Aug 18, 2016

    Really enjoyed this class! I will be incorporating many of the tools learned from Julia. I would highly recommend this to any photographer - whether you own a studio or not. Julia is very thorough and easy to understand. She leaves nothing out!

  • K. Jul 23, 2016

    This class is a must for a studio owner. It breaks down all the elements of studio systems into and easy to follow week by week workbook that you can print out as a PDF and work through at your own pace with the video.

  • Romain V. Jun 25, 2016

    Wow. Incredible Class ! My business has changed a lot since this class !

  • Iryna M. Jun 24, 2016

    Tuned in this class while it was on air and purchased it almost immediately. I am not a baby photographer, I don't even have a studio place yet, but, man, did this course help me set things straight in regards of building a workflow. Where I really dropped the ball before was client workflow and Julia helped me to create a system. So now I don't have to think about what to answer a client when he sends me an inquiry. Or how to follow up. Or how to deliver my product. When it's all figured out and broken down in simple steps i have so much more confidence in what I am doing, and much more time to be creative. Great class!

  • H. Jun 24, 2016

    I appreciate Julia's attention to detail and brutal honesty in this class! She clearly knows what is necessary to be a successful studio; she shows how to be an effective business owner while not losing site of the client love. Great class that has been a tremendous eyeopener - can't wait to put this work for my benefit!

  • Cynthia H. Jun 24, 2016

    This class is essential for anyone just starting out in the photography business or for anyone who wants to restructure a current business to make it more efficient. When I first began the boot camp, I had no idea how helpful it was going to be. The homework assignments are exactly what I needed to appropriately evaluate my own systems (or lack thereof) and streamline my business, so that I can devote more time to creating art. So grateful that I was able to gain so much from this!

  • Ramona B. Jun 24, 2016

    Love, love, love this! Saving my pennies to use this as the blueprint for my studio. Well done Julia!

  • Shawna S. Jun 24, 2016

    This class is important for ANYone wanting to start or run a photography business! Amazing information and Julia is awesome! There is so many things presented that I hadn't thought of. I always know "where" I want to go but I have a terrible time figuring out how to get there. This course has been great information!

  • Peggy G. Jun 24, 2016

    The quality and magnitude of information within the Creative Live Bootcamps is amazing. Studio Systems offers a very necessary look into all of the workflows within workflows that is necessary for an efficient, yet high-end photography business. Julia Kelleher is not just an instructor - she is an educator. Thank you, Julia for the generosity and love in sharing this information.

  • C. Jun 24, 2016

    Julia is amazing, and this course goes so in depth into great ways to structure your business. If you feel like you're struggling with in your business, this class won't let you down!!

  • Sarah L. Jun 24, 2016

    It's mind boggling the depths and which Julia went to develop this course. I don't think there is one detail that she left out. Not to mention that she is inspiring, engaging, and throughly enjoyable to listen to! She is by far one of my favorite instructors and her body of work and business success are just the beginning of what is so admirable about her. She is passionate and truly cares that we as colleagues succeed along with her. Like someone else here said, This isn't a newborn course- it's truly a photography business course! I only wish i could've had this course when I FIRST started my business. I can't recommend her or this course enough!

  • B. May 31, 2016

    Unbelievable! The effort, work and care put into this class will take you to the next level if you're willing to do the work. Julia and team have taken the time to lay out every detail to run a successful business. You will have the opportunity to put into practice those pertinent physical AND emotional exercises so crucial to setting up and understanding your business. It is an absolute rollercoaster with ups and downs, twists and turns and in the end you find yourself in actual tears of relief that now you get that internal call to do what you do and can actually articulate and convey it so that others will too! Many thanks to Julia Kelleher, her team and Creative Live for the photography lessons and bonus therapy to get through them. :)

  • Elise N. May 3, 2016
