Part-Time Photographer, $1,800 Client Average, No Studio | Kristina Svirskaite

Kristina Svirskaite built her photography business from $150 sessions to an average of about $1,800 per client, all while keeping a full-time corporate career, raising three children, and working without a permanent studio. She joins Nikki Closser to explain how she made part-time photography fit the life she actually wants.

Kristina shares what happened when the referrals that had sustained her business slowed down, why she returned to SEO and Google, and how clear website copy and transparent pricing helped attract clients who were already prepared for her rates.

The conversation also gets practical about session fees and collections, selling albums and wall art in clients' homes, combining lifestyle and posed newborn work, creating relaxed family sessions, and building a proven pricing structure around limited time.

In this conversation:

Growing from $150 sessions to an approximately $1,800 client average

Balancing a corporate career, three children, and four to eight sessions per month

Rebuilding demand through photography SEO, Google, and consistent marketing

Showing pricing online and attracting clients who understand the investment
