FROM GUESSING TO CLARITY
A Profit Planning Workshop for Portrait Photographers
Know your numbers. Make confident decisions. Build a business that actually works.
A live, hands-on get-it-done workshop with Kim Hamblin, designed to help portrait photographers stop guessing — and start making decisions backed by real data.
If you’re guessing about pricing, marketing, or whether your business is actually profitable — this workshop will change that.
If you’re being honest…
You’re probably guessing more than you’d like.
Guessing if your pricing is right.
Guessing if your marketing is working.
Guessing if you’re actually profitable — or just busy.
And the worst part?
You don’t know what to fix first… so everything feels hard.
This workshop is designed to change that.
This isn’t a “numbers class”
It’s a clarity session.
You won’t be buried in spreadsheets.
You won’t be forced to share your numbers.
You won’t need to be “good at maths”.
Instead, you’ll be guided through a simple, private planning system that shows you:
• where your business really is
• what actually matters most
• how to create predictable results
• how to stop relying on luck, algorithms, or hope
What makes this different
This is not a watch-and-forget webinar.
It’s a live work-along workshop where you’ll enter your own numbers and see — in real time — what they’re telling you about your business.
You’ll leave knowing exactly what to focus on next.
Stop Guessing. Start Making Data-Based Business Decisions. For just USD$197.
Leave feeling in control of your business and relieved that numbers can actually be easy.
✅ And there's a 100% money-back GUARANTEE.
Who this is for:
This training is designed specifically for portrait photographers, including:
🐾 Pet photographers
👶 Newborn or family photographers
💃 Boudoir photographers
💼 Motherhood / Maternity photographers
📸 Portrait photographers in any genre
If you shoot headshots, personal branding or weddings, you will still gain value — but this workshop is optimised for portrait-based businesses.
“But what if my income is low?”
This workshop is especially powerful if your revenue is under $30k.
Why?
Because you’ll learn:
• what your metrics need to be
• which lever will move the needle fastest
• how to plan growth without overwhelm
If you don’t track everything yet, Kim will provide base benchmarks so you can still create a clear, usable plan.
What you’ll do before the workshop (simple prep)
You’ll be asked to gather a few key numbers beforehand — nothing fancy.
You can write them in a notebook or spreadsheet.
Things like:
• how many portrait sessions you shot
• total sales (including payment plans)
• number of enquiries or leads
• marketing spend (if any)
• cost of producing client orders
• operating expenses
• how much you paid yourself
• a rough estimate of hours worked
NOTE: You’ll not receive the profit spreadsheet until the live session, so you won’t “do it early” and miss the value.
MEET YOUR TRAINER
Kim Hamblin
Kim spent 12 years running a portrait photography studio in New Zealand.
She turned a weekend hobby into a studio doing $500k+ per year, with a small team — eventually working just 5–10 hours a week before selling the business.
That success wasn't due to:
• flashy marketing
• aggressive selling
• a business degree
• or being “good at maths”
But because she knew her numbers.
Kim is known for making numbers simple, human, and empowering — especially for photographers who believe they’re “bad at them”.
What happens during the masterclass?
Kim guides you through a custom profit planning worksheet, step by step.
You’ll:
• enter your numbers
• see your real metrics instantly
• understand what they mean
• learn how to use them for better decisions
You’ll finish knowing:
✅ What to track (far less than you think)
✅ How to track it simply
✅ How often to review your numbers (without overwhelm)
✅ How to use numbers to predict — and create — results
✅ How to reverse-engineer your income goals
✅ How COGS, OpEx and profit actually fit together
✅ Why pricing feels hard — and how numbers fix that
More importantly… you’ll leave feeling:
🎉 In control of your business
🎉 Excited (instead of overwhelmed)
🎉 Confident in your decisions
🎉 Clear on what to focus on next
🎉 Relieved that numbers can actually be easy
You’ll have a profit recipe and a business compass — so you always know when you’re on (or off) track.
The class is there and ready for you anytime you need to refer back to it.
You’ll receive:
• Full replay access

Money-Back Guarantee
Take the Masterclass.
If you don’t leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan you can actually use — just let me know, and you’ll receive a full refund.
No awkward emails. No hoops.
I’m a total number-phobe and avoided looking closely at my business numbers for a long time.
Working with Kim showed me just how powerful understanding them can be.
Knowing my numbers has given me clarity, confidence, and a clear direction for building a sustainable business.

This will be the most practical, hands-on workshop ever hosted on PhotoBizX.
"Ohh- fun fact... when I sold my business - the accountants who checked things over before the sale said they'd never seen such 'perfect' books and wanted to know where I'd hidden the bodies.
This was purely due to the use of numbers and how to manage/use these metrics for consistent profit."
