I started my photography business in 2012, offering in-home family + newborn photography sessions.
A BIG part of building your dream business is having systems that work for you, so I spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs of CRMs to make my backend more streamlined.
It was like having my very own virtual assistant at $40/month instead of $40/hour.
But just because I am obsessed and spend my days thinking about automations, doesn't mean you have to.
When I am not photographing my amazing clients or building out client experience systems on a VIP Day, you can usually find me at the pool or Disneyland 🤩
Hey, I'm Colie. my superpower is making complicated shit simple, particularly systems strategy + automations.
Meet your Systems Fairy Godmother
Eight years ago I pulled the trigger on my first CRM and it was a game-changer. Now I help other creatives implement Dubsado or Honeybook in their own businesses.
Turning my computer off each day at 3pm when I pick my kid up from school, no more responding to clients into the wee hours of the morning
Surprising her with a trip to Disneyland, without worrying about my business while I ride Dumbo.
Answering leads with a few clicks and the help of my canned emails/pre-written proposals saves so much time and stress.
Booking a new client in less than 5 minutes after our phone consultation. Best dopamine hit is the sound of my phone alerting me to an online invoice payment.
I am a confessed recovering workaholic. With some well-developed systems I said goodbye to the stress and hello to ...

Send a single smart file to get clients booked, scheduled, invoiced + paid in less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee

Your life before
CRM Blueprint:
Your life after
CRM Blueprint:
You're frequently feeling overwhelmed staying on top of your projects.
You're spending too much time re-creating offers and communications from scratch.
You're feeling like you don’t have enough time for family or self-care.
You know exactly where every inquiry and client is in your workflows.
You’ve able to respond and send templated + custom offers to clients within minutes.
You can decide how to spend your newly acquired free time, without micro-managing your business.
I've seen photographers jump into Dubsado without a plan
and six months later their account still sits unused
When I think about anyone wasting money on something that could saving you so much time and stress... it seriously breaks my heart 💔
Believe me when I say, There is a version of your business where you are NOT always stressed and glued to a computer.
I am all about adding personality into your emails so they sound like YOU, that is more important than the client knowing it was sent automatically. There can be great balance between writing reusable templates and making them personal!
Is it really possible to automate emails and still sound personal?
3
Absolutely. Good processes and systems are the backbone of any photography or creative business, no matter how many clients you service. Spend the time in your business doing tasks that make you happy!
I'm not full-time in my business, will these systems still help me?
2
No. While I have used my 11+ years as a photographer to create my signature systems, this course's lessons and templates can be customized and applied to any creative service business.
Is this just for photographers?

The shit you really want to know...
your questions answered
The plan is to put the course for sale after the curriculum is ready and all the feedback has been implemented. I anticipate this to be March 1st. You are welcome to wait until then, but there will be two differences. The price for the self-study course will be $497 and optional support will be $250, same as the Dubsado version of this course!
I would rather wait to buy until the course is done, when will it be ready?
6
You will have access to my support ticketing system, a student-only Facebook group, as well as a few live Q&A sessions during the first 90 days of the course!
Is there any support available for this course?

This is the first time I have offered the course for Honeybook. I will be creating the course and adjusting the lessons based on your feedback! Q1 is the perfect time to take a deep dive into your systems and make adjustment for the upcoming year!
Why will the course not be delivered until jan 8th of next year?

Are you ready for systems you feel confident in using?
On the other side of Jan 8th is a business where you are free to really dive into the portions of the creative portions of your business you love and spend WAY less time on the administrative tasks you hate!
