Sneak peeks. Whatever you call them… this conversation keeps coming back around. In this episode, we unpack why so many photographers feel stuck in the tension between artistry and expectation and why the question “should I do previews or not?” might actually be the wrong place to start. Instead of giving a formula, we invite you into a different way of thinking. One rooted in ownership, clarity, and building a business from your own philosophy...not just reacting to industry pressure. If you’ve ever felt torn between what’s expected and what feels aligned, this episode will help you rethink how you make decisions… not just about previews, but about everything. What You’ll Learn in This Episode - Why the previews debate isn’t actually about previews - The hidden pressure photographers feel (and how it shapes decisions) - The difference between reacting vs. building from conviction - What previews are really doing for your clients and your business - How to think through tradeoffs without defaulting to industry norms - The power of communicating your philosophy to your clients - How to redefine previews in a way that feels aligned to you Links & Ways to Connect Apply for the Mastermind Program: https://learn.bradandjen.com/mastermind-coaching Join Purpose & Profit – A Roadmap to 10k Weddings: https://learn.bradandjen.com/purpose-and-profit-course Instagram: @ bradandjeneducation @ bradandjen Episode Chapters (00:00) The DM that sparked the conversation (01:30) The pressure photographers feel around previews (03:40) Why “should I do previews?” is the wrong question (05:00) Building conviction vs. outsourcing decisions (07:10) The parenting story (and decision-making framework) (10:30) Why previews exist (and what they actually do) (13:50) The tension: c…","meta_description":"Previews.
