1-on-1 Coaching · Ryan Dunbar

Direct help from someone
who has built this twice.

Not theory. Not a course. Time with a photographer who built two headshot studios in two countries from scratch — and can help you do the same thing in your market.

Whatever is standing between you and a profitable headshot business.

Every session is built around your specific situation. No generic advice. No recycled frameworks. We work on the actual problems in your actual business.

01
Business setup and infrastructure

CRM, email sequences, booking workflows, client communication — getting the right systems in place from the start so nothing falls through the cracks.

02
Pricing and quoting

Individual and group session pricing, how to quote on-location jobs, how to structure packages without undercharging or losing clients on price.

03
Local SEO and Google visibility

Getting found by people searching for headshots in your market. Google Business Profile, service pages, reviews — the organic lead generation foundation.

04
Lead generation and advertising

Facebook lead ads, targeting, creative, and the funnel behind them. How to generate consistent leads without wasting money figuring it out alone.

05
Converting inquiries into bookings

Why leads go cold, what follow-up actually looks like, and how to build a system that keeps the window open without chasing people manually.

06
Session workflow and client experience

Directing non-model clients, wardrobe and prep guidance, running efficient sessions, and building a reputation that generates referrals and repeat bookings.

Two ways to work together.
