Tracy Mock of www.preschool.studioeclectic.com.au is a kindergarten photographer who made the full-time jump into the genre after testing the waters and finding both joy and success. In this interview, she unlocks the kindy photography goldmine secrets and how to build a thriving kindy photography business.

This interview came about following a recent chat with Trina Julius of Red Cherry Images, who specialises in kindy photography. Trina was interviewed for episode 443 of the podcast, and since then, she has kicked off the Pre-School Photography Academy. She teaches everything you need to know about kindergarten photography, from shooting to business.

While chatting, I asked if Trina could recommend any students who have been through her training for a possible interview. One of those was today's guest, Tracy Mock of Studio Eclectic Photography in Sydney, Australia.

I looked around and saw that the studio was mainly focused on weddings, families and headshots. They set up a subdomain off their main website for the kindy photography, and from the outside looking in, things look to be going great!

The website is bright, easy to navigate, answers clients' questions, including pricing, and the photography looks great!

Looking a little deeper, it seems Tracy moved from shooting in the main business to focusing on running and coordinating the kindy photography side of the business.

The plan was to learn more about why add kindy photography to an existing photography business and if this is something worth considering in your business.

Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:

• • Heartfelt secrets: Discover how photography led Tracy to love (and marry a fellow photographer – the good, the bad, and the beautiful!)
    
  • Building your dream team: Learn how to delegate and scale your business like a pro (without losing your creative spark).

  • System savvy: Ditch the duct tape and messy spreadsheets! Tracy's got the tools and tech to streamline your workflow and free up your creative flow.
    
  • Testing the waters? Tracy's sage advice for dipping your toes (and lenses) into the kindergarten pool.
    
  • Beyond “been there, done that”: Why even seasoned pros like Tracy swear by photography courses (and the surprising business makeover she underwent after taking the plunge).
    
  • The golden metric: Forget likes and follows! Discover the one number that truly unlocks your business growth.
    
  • Saying “no” with grace: Learn how to set boundaries and avoid burnout without crushing client dreams.
    
  • Winning the school race: Convince administrators that you're the “it” photographer, leaving the competition in the dust.
    
  • Protecting little treasures: Navigate the tricky waters of child privacy policies with confidence.
    
  • Tailoring your packages: From budget-conscious families to VIPs, cater to every wallet and win over hearts.
    
  • Volume = victory: Why shooting a high volume of sessions is the key to kindergarten photography success.
    
  • Behind the scenes with Tracy: Peek into her action-packed kindergarten shoot process and steal her time-saving tricks.
    
  • Kickbacks and quid pro quos: Dealing with unsavoury requests with professionalism and poise.
    
  • Ready, set, shoot! Tracy's actionable roadmap for launching your kindergarten photography journey.
