Meet Chantal (aka Cece), a Southwest Florida boudoir photographer in her second year of business who went from having only 3 paid shoots in her first year to adding 6 sessions to her books almost immediately after joining the Fully Booked Method. Her story is one of transformation and finding the foundational elements she didn't even know she was missing.

Chantal started as a podcast listener who felt like we were having coffee chats every Thursday morning on her drive to work. She knew something was missing in her business but couldn't pinpoint what it was - until she found the structure and visibility strategies that changed everything.

As someone juggling a full-time job as an assistant branch manager while building her photography business, Chantal's perspective on making time for growth while managing all of life's demands is incredibly valuable. Her passion for helping clients go "from zero to hero to goddess" through boudoir photography shines through every word.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How Chantal overcame her initial hesitations about investing in her business
• The foundational business elements she was missing that were holding her back
• Her practical strategies for balancing a full-time job with building a photography business
• Why she got her first repeat client and how that felt like the ultimate compliment
• Her honest advice about doing the program "scared" but doing it anyway
• How the ChatGPT prompts helped her fine-tune her voice and efficiency

Chantal's journey from feeling like she wasn't a "legitimate photographer" to confidently backing up that title is inspiring and relatable for anyone in the early stages of their business.
