You started your photo business for the freedom. BUT...
Now your business is running you.
✔ You're spinning in a million directions, jumping between editing and posting and emails (and trying to manage kids while you're at it).
✔ You feel like you're working constantly, never caught up, always putting out fires. The mom guilt for missing family time is getting heavy.

You've hit a breaking point.
And you're afraid you might burnout completely. You're ready to have someone show you the way to profitable work-life balance. You know it's possible, you just don't know how to get there.

BBA taught me that I can do less. My passion for photography has returned and my clients are happier too.
I also learned how to raise my prices and gain so much more personal freedom. Turns out, weekends off are freaking amazing!"
