    Vanessa Joy did a great job providing a comprehensive overview of the business of wedding photographer -- she made it engaging, despite the number of numbers required :-P and she made it fun to talk about customer service and client management and bookkeeping. Well done, Vanessa!

    Vanessa is a true master of her craft. She is extremely business savvy yet has the eye of an artist. This combination led her to achieve levels of expertise that she presents here in this class. Vanessa shares the secrets to her success and longevity in the wedding industry and also shares common pitfalls to avoid. You will finish the class with a roadmap to create the income and lifestyle you desire. This is a class that I will re-watch multiple times.

    Vanessa's passion for photographers to make a living at what they do and not continue to be starving artist helps you see how your dream could be a nightmare. She gives practical and easy tips to implement in your business today to keep you more profitable. I think her simple way of laying out a business plan is a great take away from this class.
