Are you so busy shooting, editing, and keeping up that you never get time to actually work on your business?
We've been there too.
Behind the lens, senior photography is not always fun.
You’re shooting, editing, posting, answering DMs, and trying to keep your calendar from eating you alive.
You’re doing a lot right. But if you’re honest, the business still feels heavier than it should.
What if you could:
-
Book seniors who actually fit your style (not just whoever asks “what do you charge?”)
-
Create images they post fast, tag you in, and share with friends
-
Pose quicker so sessions flow, and you stop second-guessing
-
Price with a plan so you keep more money from every sale
-
Build simple systems so your week stops being chaos
No “hustle harder” stuff. Just better moves.
Now, imagine if in a few days, you could...
❖
Get to the real problem fast...Stop treating symptoms. Figure out what’s actually holding you back (marketing, pricing, posing, lighting, sales, workflow) so you can fix the right thing first.
❖
Develop a clear roadmap to solve that problem...Walk away with the next steps that make sense for you, using what you learn across the summit: Gen Z marketing, video, creative lighting, posing, pricing, sales, editing, and automation.
❖
Leave with confidence and clarity...You’ll know what to do on your next shoot, what to change in your business, and what to ignore so you don’t spiral.
That's what the Peak Senor Summit by Seniors Unlocked is all about.
