Bree started as most photographers do in this new digital arena. She bought a Canon Rebel and became an underpriced self-taught shoot and burn MWAC. (Mom with a Camera). She was shooting in auto and buying presets and actions to make her photos magical while copying the style of photographers she admired. She was booked solid around the clock and turning away clients and earning a huge paycheck of…practically nothing.

Then something happened. She realized there could be so much more to this photography journey with some education, finding her own niche and style, charging a respectable amount for what she offered and creating who she was as a photographer verses following the crowd and most importantly tapping emotion!

Bree Adams evolved from a shoot and burn $85 per disk weekend warrior to a studio established and award winning photographer in 18 months specializing in the niche of Newborns and Modern Maternity. Her average client going from $85 for a full disk to averaging $4000 for the same client and taking the print competition arena by storm and earning her Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman in just 2 years.

Bree runs a successful studio bringing back the revival of maternity and newborn artistry. Her newborn style consists of minimal props and distractions with pure focus on the beauty of posing and light from both organic to dramatic light. Her maternity sessions step away from the frumpy “been there and done that” belly posing and traditional feel to a stylish and fresh approach that ranges from organic, to sexy and even timeless high-end art.

Now Bree runs a fully booked studio in Historic Mansfield Texas. In a short amount of time she has accomplished:

Photographer of the Year Dallas, 2016
Master of Photography
Photographic Craftsman
Certified Professional Photographer
Medaling all three years of IPC with PPA

In this program she will take you through how she tore her entire business apart to start over and do it right. Attendees will learn exactly how she runs her hybrid studio pricing, online marketing, new ways to market, how to think outside of the box to connect, how to take their studio to a new level and how to accelerate any genre.
