So to show that you are traveling, you need to travel. Evie began traveling for free while charging small fees for the session itself in order to build a portfolio that she could use to show that she traveled.Once you have traveled and photographed in a new location, post those photos everywhere. And not only the photos, but post the behind-the-scenes about your trip, post photos of you in that location. Post about the entire process, not just the end photos.There is a lot of added stress and pressure when it comes to traveling for photography. You have to block off extra days for travel that will take away from your editing/work load. You have to be willing to put in that extra time that traveling takes from your day-to-day schedule.Switch everything to show that you are a destination and traveling photographer. Post on your blog about different locations, “best of” lists, and target keywords for what those clients would be searching for.Attach yourself to your brand as a traveling photographer. Show up in your stories, blog personal life stuff, and show your face in your stories, in your posts, and on your website. That personal brand will attract your ideal clients and cause them to want to work with YOU over someone else.Find Evie attheheartuniversity.comThe Heart and Hustle Podcastevelyngrace.cominstagram.com/evieruppinstagram.com/theheartuniversitySwim Wear - evieswim.comWhat Are We Loving?What Evie is loving:Drink - Vanilla Cloud drinkWhat John is loving:Movie - 41 (Australian time travel love story on Amazon Prime)We record each episode LIVE in our Facebook group and we would love to connect with you there.
