This is coming! by Zach & Jody | Mar 7, 2018 | Misc “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” -Colin Powell For 3 years now we have worked on a single, focused dream… …to figure out a simple way to do the hardest thing there is in business. Manage and Grow it. We started with an idea: What if we could create software that allowed you to follow a PROVEN pathway to success in your photography business? What if it managed your business so well and so easily that all you had to do in order to take care of ALL of your clients, contracts, tasks and to-dos was simply click a few buttons every day? What if it only cost you a $1 a day to have this system, but easily paid you 10 times that in new business and growth in your bottom line every year? After our business started to work in 2008 (when we had 33 weddings booked and were making a 6-figure income), we turned our attention to other photographers that we wanted to help have the same success. Our Dream was to share the system we used to grow our brand with as many people as we could, and we set out on a MISSION to make it happen. We created videos, taught keynotes, did workshops and consulted one-on-one with literally thousands of photographers all around the world. Then, we finally realized what that natural next step was to take the best system in the world and HAND it over to photographers. ShootFlow 2.0 is Opening Soon! That dream is now turned into a reality, and the brand new, all updated version of ShootFlow is coming March 12th!

That dream is now turned into a reality, and the brand new, all updated version of ShootFlow is coming March 12th ! ShootFlow is the ONLY photographer workflow software that not ONLY manages your entire business (and starts working in just 30 minutes), but GROWS your photography business. 2 Years of Proof with 1,000 REAL Photographers We started with 1,000 wedding photographers using the ShootFlow system to manage all of their customers. We chose weddings first, because weddings have one of the hardest workflows out there, and if ShootFlow could work for them, it could work for ANY photographer in the world. Our ShootFlow users spent less time working ON their business and more time shooting and living life with their family and kids , and they made MORE money and had LESS stress! ShootFlow 2.0 is Here! We took all of their feedback in the REAL WORLD of photography and built the newest version of ShootFlow that now handles ALL photographers workflows, runs their entire business, and helps them GROW their bottom line! ShootFlow can run all photographers brands from wedding and portrait shooters and anyone in-between! And, it still uses our incredibly simple and easy to use MyFlow interface , but now with the ability to cater to any photographers workflow. What’s Next for the Zach and Jody email List? Over the next 6 weeks , we are going to be talking about strategies and tools to run a more successful photography business, hosting some brand new webinars, and we will be talking about how ShootFlow can run your entire brand for you and we will be convincing you on why you need it. :) We will also be offering really cool bonuses and special promotions when you get it. It is our goal to constantly make ShootFlow better for you. This is why we will always be listening to the needs of the majority and developing. However, ShootFlow is not a one-size-fits-all. It’s not a be-everything-to-everyone. ShootFlow is for those who desire GROWTH over distractions. ShootFlow gives you what you NEED to succeed. What you need to WIN. ShootFlow’s goal is to: Give you an easy-to-use tool that actually GROWS your business (more clients anyone??), and doesn’t distract you from it Bring back the passion you had for your craft because it died as you had been overwhelmed with trying to stay on top of running a business Equip you to turn your laptop off at the end of the day and enjoy the hugs from your spouse and giggles from your children as you play with them knowing that everything you need to do has been taken care of Change your life so you can change the lives of others around you We are excited to be talking about this life-changing product and we are grateful that you are taking this ride with us. Blessings, Zach & Jody ShootFlow Founders PS. Look for some exciting new content coming your way next week on how to grow your photography business! The Birth Story of Ember Hope by Jody | Jul 22, 2017 | Personal As Ember is now 6 weeks old (holy cow, where did the time go?) I’m so glad that I’m finally getting around to putting up her birth story that I’ve had written for about two weeks. Ha ha. Hey, that’s how it is now and I’ve just got to go with the flow. It’s crazy how each birth is so different and unique, and let me tell you, Ember’s birth was totally different from the other two. Totally. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning… (image by my dear friend, Evin with EvinPhotography and PhotoMamas) Thursday, June 8th, 2017 I head to my OB appointment and because I’m a few days late, they want to put me on a stress test for the baby to make sure the fluid levels are ok and her heart rate is good and whatnot. After sitting in their massage chair watching Chip & Joanna Gains on HGTV, they come back and tell me that her heart rate dropped a little at one point so they want to do an ultrasound just to make sure everything is all good. On one hand, I’m not worried, because I know it’s totally normal for babies to come “late” (I think due dates are a bunch of crap anyway… they just serve to stress the mom out as the date comes and goes). But then on the other hand, the fact that they wanted to do an ultrasound because they are slightly worried made me slightly worried. I head to the ultrasound and everything looks great. The technician even said it looked... read more As Ember is now 6 weeks old (holy cow, where did the time go?)
