In this episode, I discuss the pros and cons of sorting event photos by dog name compared to other variables such as class or day. I consider factors like customer experience, website navigation, pricing structure, and trial logistics to determine the best sorting method for you to maximize profits.

This episode discusses the best options from the top 3 brands, Canon, Sony, and Nikon, for shooting fast-paced action dog sports like agility, disc, and dock diving, and especially in indoor lighting.

Do you feel in the dark with for pricing for your dog sport event photography business? This episode will help you understand the costs of running your photography business, including fixed and variable costs, setting a salary goal, and determining the number of events to cover in a year. I also cover the importance of tracking metrics from your events and the ways to optimize average purchases so that you can hit your goals.

Facebook Group: The Business Side of Dog Photography

In this podcast episode, I compare popular online gallery websites utilized by dog photographers on features such as cost, storage space, ease of use, branding, customer experience, and marketing capabilities. The platforms covered include Pixieset, Cloud Spot, ShootProof, SmugMug, Zenfolio, Pixpa, and Sunshine Photo Cart.

This episode will be a blueprint to booking your first dog sport event. The first thing I'll talk about is attending events and learning about the dog sport. Then, I'll cover appropriate places to practice. We'll go through some basics of setting up your business structure and your website. Finally, how do you book an event? I plan to go in depth through all of these topics in future episodes, so for now think of this as a introduction to how to get started in the field of dog sport photography.
