The Focal Points Podcast by nPhoto 

 _______________________________________________________________________

 This weekly podcast discusses all the things that photographers want and need to know about on how to run a great business.  I take my 14 years of experience in the photography industry and 20 years of teaching experience and wrap that up into a program that discusses topics like workflow, pricing, product, mindset, and more.  With special guests who bring their insight, this is a program you won't want to miss. 

This Podcast is brought to you by my good friends at nPhotolab 

Guide to Video and Instagram

Instagram has said over and over that isn't a photo sharing app anymore.  Where does that leave photographers who want to share still images?  Download this guide for some tricks on what to post, the tools I use for video, and other helpful tips to create content for your Instagram account.

Image Salon

My life forever changed when I started using Image Salon as my editing company.  They can create custom profiles, take personal requests and have a turn around time that is speedy.  I will never go back to editing my own images.

Photographer’s Wall Display Guides

Photographer’s Wall Display Guides provide an easy and beautiful way to display images in room settings.  This allows clients to visualize their images in rooms vs. just on the computer.  I use them in my social media, on my website, and in my marketing materials.

Fundy

I can make a photo album in less than 20 minutes with this great program.  It also has IPS and wall portrait sale functionality as well.

Use the code Dorie22 for a great discount.

Google Suite

I run my entire business with Google Suite.  My calendar, email, online workspace, online meetings, note taking, the list goes on.  I simply would be lost without it and it is worth every penny.

Use this code to access discounts on the monthly fee:

Planoly

I use planoly to schedule all my social media content from posts to reels.

Photobiz

In my opinion the best website options for photographers.  They handle everything from design, layout, SEO, everything when it comes to my site.

Pixifi

I have used this customer management system for over 8 years.  It is how I do my invoicing, scheduling, and so much more.

Canva

Graphic design made easy.  I’m not sure what I did before I started using Canva.  Create beautiful, professionally designed graphics in a minute.

LastPass

This program allows me to save my passwords, notes, credit card numbers, and other important information all in one place.  I can easily share passwords with others and revoke access with a simple click when needed.

I no longer need to remember passwords.  They are automatically filled in on my desktop, ipad, iphone, and laptop.  

Calendly

This is how I schedule everything on my calendar.  I send people a link and  they can choose what works best for their schedule.  From Selection Appointments, consultations, vendor conversations, everything.  I couldn’t live without it.
