  • Smiling and Nodding the Whole Time

    This episode had me grinning like a fool in my car. Nicole and Heather completely flipped the script on the traditional inquiry process, and it just makes so much sense. From making booking effortless to building desire like a luxury brand, this is the kind of practical, game-changing advice photographers need.

  • Amazing

    I’ve been listening and following Nicole for a while now. I, like many, have some serious ‘in my head’ issues that I KNOW are holding me back from making my life the life I KNOW I’m destined to have. Thanks to Nicole and this podcast and the academy, I’m beginning to see myself and my abilities in a different light. She is amazing and I take away something great every time I listen! I highly recommend u take a listen!!!
