Life & Work with Meagan Getz

Today we’d like to introduce you to Meagan Getz.

Meagan, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
As a wedding photographer, one of my biggest struggles was something I knew was also vital to my business- having an effective brand and website that attracted the types of clients I wanted to work with and helped me stand out.

When I began growing my photography business, I didn’t quite understand what made a good brand, but I had a strong desire to learn. So I invested my time, energy, and resources into learning as much as I could about branding: how to build a strategic brand, how to visually appeal to my ideal clients, and how to stand out from other local photographers.

I took multiple courses and attended virtual workshops to learn everything I could. Once I applied what I learned and built my strategic brand, not only did my business grow exponentially, but I also felt so at peace. Suddenly I wasn’t worried about comparing myself to other photographers or not being able to attract my dream clients because I had designed a solid, strategic brand.

Knowing the difference it made in my business and life, I wanted to help as many other photographers as possible experience this too. That’s when I decided to find Luxelle Studio. I believe every photographer, no matter what stage they’re at in their business, deserves to have access to a life-changing, effective brand and website that helps them attract their dream clients and helps their business grow.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Well, not entirely- as I mentioned, branding was a struggle for me at first. I had to really be patient with myself and take the time to learn the most effective methods of creating a brand, not rushing things. There was plenty of trial and error along the way as I experimented with different methods in my photography business, learning what worked and what doesn’t.

But those struggles got me to this point, and now I have a thorough understanding of how to build brands and websites for other photographers that help them get the results that they want. Whether that means standing out against their competitors, attracting their dream clients, overcoming feelings of inadequacy or comparison, or anything else, I’m able to help them because I’ve been through all of those things and overcome the challenges along the way.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I create strategic, gorgeous, and effective brands and websites for photographers. I specialize in helping photographers appeal to the types of clients they want to work with- ones they connect with and who remind them why they absolutely love what they get to do as photographers.

One of the things that makes me different in my industry is the fact that I’m also a photographer. Many designers haven’t worked as photographers professionally, so they don’t understand entirely what photographers go through in their businesses, but I do because I’ve been there myself.

I completely understand the challenges of the photography industry, the emotions you go through in this business, and what my fellow photographers need from their brands and website in order to reach their goals. I’m incredibly proud that I was able to learn branding and website design, use my knowledge to grow my own business, and now am able to help others have those same amazing results.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
As far as finding a mentor, find someone you really look up to someone who has had the same results in their business that you’d like to have. Never be afraid to invest in mentorship. It will take you so much farther than the trial-and-error of guessing what you should do next.

I’ve done that with both my photography business and with Luxelle Studio, and I can say with full confidence that I would never have gotten to where I am today without that mentorship. I’ve found most of my educators through Instagram, so that’s been a really great resource for mentorship and networking alike!
