If you’re an entrepreneur, struggling to break out of a pricing plateau and into rising revenues—this is for YOU.

With My Unique Booking Process, You TOO Can See Results Like These...

Have you spent years using the same booking workflow, expecting to reach that next level, while your revenue remains stagnant?

Fellow photographer, be honest

Do you dread the inevitable questions, negotiations and nit-picking from clients who are just looking for the best deal?

Are you tired of missing opportunities and leaving money on the table because you don’t have the knowledge and tools that clients and planners are expecting?

Do you keep hearing about custom proposals as a tool to attract your “ideal client” but are left scratching your head as to what actually goes into them?

Meanwhile, the ones who are booking leave you (and your bank account!) feeling undervalued, uncertain about your career and let’s be honest—like you’re just winging it. Neither you or your client comes out on top!

I get it. It can feel like an isolating place—without the right tools and guidance. Like your ideal clients are just out of reach and you’re scraping by, hoping that one day they’ll come knocking. You know that something about your booking process isn’t working, but you aren’t sure how to fix it or where to even start! 

Sound familiar?

student testimonials

Coryn booked two weddings in one week over her highest rate just by switching to proposals.

Juliana started charging more and using custom proposals to book her dream clients.

Renée booked four weddings in two weeks after raising her pricing and switching to proposals.

Laura booked at her highest price to date.

Take a look at how these photographers easily made the transition to increased revenue with Pricing with Proposals…

Emi realized how much she’d been underselling herself with packages!

But it’s not your fault! Because no one has told you how to confidently raise your pricing and reach life-changing levels of revenue without paying for advertising or overpriced training—until NOW.

If you’re tired of doing it the hard (and expensive) way—and still not making the money you desire—read on, my friend.

You’re digging your toes into the soft, pale sand on the North Shore of O’ahu. The morning sun blankets your face as you scout out the perfect location for post-ceremony portraits. 

Over the coming days, you’ll shoot a gorgeous, three-day wedding complete with a welcome luau, a beach bonfire rehearsal dinner and a post-wedding brunch. They even opted for the add-on albums.

Everything comes off without a hitch. Later in the weekend, when you push send on the sneak peeks, you feel a rush of pride. You know your work is great, and—on top of that—the immediate email response from your clients confirms it: they are gushing with praise

You can’t wait to add these new images to your portfolio. This is exactly the type of event you want more of and these shots are going to work for you. 

Imagine this…

As you enjoy a post-wedding Mai Tai with a fresh slice of pineapple on the rim, you realize that everything has finally come into focus... 

You feel confident in your pricing. 
Your clients trust your expertise and guidance. 
They’re happy to pay more and are excited about your offerings. 
You’ve doubled your revenue, which means you have the money and time to linger on distant, tropical shores. 

And—your business paid for it.

Oh—and all those new planner inquiries coming in? No problem. It only takes 20 minutes to whip up a proposal for your next dream job.

So what’s the secret?

What’s the method that has helped photographers of all levels break out of their pricing plateaus?

Think about it—how are you going to satisfy the unique desires of a high-end client if you don’t know what they need? 

Your clients want to be seen and heard. They want to feel connected to you, and you want to feel connected to them, right? 

And you have a choice to either:

Pricing Strategically with Custom Proposals

If you want to raise your rates and serve a luxury client, cookie-cutter packages just won’t—ahem—cut it anymore.

01) Draw clients into an elevated, custom experience that pre-qualifies your most ideal leads (and makes it easier for them to book you!) 

02) Leave them stuck trying to fit into the packages you’ve pre-cut—or worse—start negotiating their own idea of a “better” (read: cheaper) package. 

Or… 

I’ve made this choice EASY for you by breaking down my entire custom pricing process in ONE place…

The truth is: 

Through Pricing with Proposals, you will be empowered and equipped to price confidently, attract those elusive ideal clients and book them without the limitations of one-size-fits-all packages. 

In an 11-step process, I’ll show you how to:

Confidently raise your pricing with intention

Attract the ideal clients you truly desire to work with

Strategically and authentically sell (and upsell!) your services

Easily offer white-glove service that WOWs your prospective clients without one-size-fits-all packages

Hi, I’m KT Merry

Top Wedding Photographer in the US

KT MERRY, AS FEATURED ON…

And—I’ve been where you are. 

When I started booking weddings 15 years ago, I looked around at what the other photographers in my market were doing (sound familiar?) and just followed suit: three competitively priced packages designed into a pretty PDF—done!

You see, I've known since high school that I wanted to be a photographer. Thankfully, I won a scholarship to photography school, granting me access to higher education and sealing the deal. After years of shadowing and assisting fashion photographers, I set out to build my own photography business and I’ll be honest—I had zero knowledge of what was involved in growing and maintaining a business.

spent years (too many to confess!) focused solely on being the most skilled photographer I could be. For the longest time, I didn’t know how much money I was actually making. As my booking volume (and portfolio) grew, I realized I was gambling on the future of my business. Ignoring my numbers and shooting over 35 weddings a year had me on the fast-track to burnout.

I’ll never forget seeing that first cover feature on Martha Stewart Weddings and thinking, “Awesome!.. now what??” Unwavering passion and determination had gotten me somewhere, but I knew I had to make a change if I wanted a long, profitable career in this industry.

When I finally faced the music, I got serious about profits. And I discovered a lot! 

I

When I started implementing custom proposals, things shifted dramatically. I started attracting amazing clients (dreamy ones like Lea Michelle and Kate Upton...Tuscany, anyone?), increasing my average booking price and cutting back on the number of weddings I needed to book in a year to reach my goals.

Goals like:
shooting in the Maldives (check)
earning six-figures a year (check)
being a go-to photographer for some of the top wedding planners in the world, like Lisa Vorce and Lelian Chew (check and check)




I got into spreadsheets and broke down every single cost of my time, energy and hard-earned money and what the true value of a weekend on my calendar was. 

I discovered that by asking clients to select from a one-size-fits-all package list I was missing a huge opportunity to serve them—and my bottom line— at a much higher level.


For example, I had no idea that every time I pushed the shutter button on my film camera, it cost me $2! 

It took me too long to realize I needed a vision for my business and that vision needed to include big, financial impact, fueled by smart pricing tools. And I don’t want you to waste any more precious time like I did. 

That’s why I’m determined to share my lessons and hard-earned expertise. Because it doesn’t have to take you years to make a switch that will put your business on the path to profitability.

Are you ready to ditch packages for proposals and start earning more than you ever thought possible?

MY PROVEN, 11-STEP PRICING PROCESS FOR CONFIDENTLY BOOKING AT YOUR HIGHEST RATE YET.

It’s time to break out of your pricing plateau and step into the confidence (and revenue!) you deserve! Just like these past students have done…

I offered a custom proposal for a couple who is having a wedding “part 2” this year. Since they didn’t need a full day, the hourly coverage was equal to my lowest “package,” but via the proposal, and including an album they wanted, I sold it for almost as much as my former top package and a waaaay higher profit margin! It makes me realize how I’ve been underselling myself by throwing packages at people before speaking with them.

Emi increased her profit margin…

Wedding Photographer, Portland, Maine 

I booked two multi-day weddings with 2 clients that I absolutely adore for later this summer 2021 that I would consider luxury. I went through the process, booked them at a rate that I don’t think I would have had the confidence or the trust in myself to do without the support of this community. They will be my highest paid bookings to date (still very crazy to think about that).

Jenna now has confidence in spades…

Custom proposals have given me the power to say, ‘Hey, this is me, this is my pricing. This is what I offer you, here’s the value. If you say yes, wonderful, let’s party, let’s do this thing. If not, I know that you’re going to find amazing other people. And here are my recommendations.”

No. And here’s why: it’s never been easier to create a beautiful custom proposal with affordable tools than RIGHT NOW. You don’t need to be a graphic designer to nail this. Your job is to show up 1,000% for your clients and ‘wow’ them with your client experience. Don’t let this perceived limitation hold you back.

I have ZERO design experience. Do I need to be tech-savvy to create a custom proposal?

I know what you’re thinking: isn’t this just one more online, digital course, video-workshop, promising-to-deliver training that’s actually not that valuable when you boil it all down? You’ve signed up for others and you’ve overpaid and been underwhelmed. Trust me, it’s happened to me too. 

That’s why I got into teaching in the first place. Everywhere I looked, people were teaching you how to build flawless Instagram feeds, coveted portfolios and the perfectly styled shoot. And while those things matter, I want to go deeper. After fifteen years in the wedding industry and building a multi-six-figure business in just the last several—I realized I have something to share with you. I’ve built a business that’s able to make a real impact in the world because of its profitability. The kind of impact that can change the future of our planet, impact people’s lives and leave a lasting legacy. 

I want your business to thrive so that you can thrive. Because when you’re living from a place of purpose and abundance, you’re able to do more good in your life and in our world. And that’s the ripple effect I’m after. The potential for greater impact as a result of the small stones that we drop into the waters of life—together. 

One last thing before you go...

So let’s do this. Come make an impact with me.

To your abundance,
