From a young age, my dad always told me, “Don’t let anyone ever tell you you can’t do something because you’re a girl.” I took that to heart and chased my entrepreneurial dreams.
I'll never forget when I was in my early 20's, I attended a Nikon photography conference, eager to launch my career path. At the end of the last day, I excitedly approached the leader of the event telling him I planned to be a news and sports photographer...and he looked me up and down with a smug look and said, "As a young girl? In that industry? Good luck."
If only he knew he was the fuel to my fire. The next phone call I made was to Michael Zagaris (legendary rock-n-roll and sports photographer) who became my mentor as I shot alongside him on the fields of the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland A's for 8 years and launched my wedding photography company, Onelove Photo.
I believe that a little bit of courage and risk is the heart of every small business owner. I'm going to show you how you can tap into that very courage and take some risks to experience significant changes in your own company's growth.

During the 20 years I’ve been in this industry, I founded two wedding businesses (one of which I sold in 2016). Today I continue to manage Onelove Photo, with a team of 20 photographers who shoot an average of 100 weddings per year. That means each year I am on hundreds of sales calls to book 100 events for our team. When someone asks me what I do for a living, the honest answer isn’t a photographer: it’s sales.
I’m going to share with you the exact steps I take with every single inquiry to convert them to a booked wedding client.
