The 5 Carat Collective is thriving! What a wonderful, supportive and idea-sharing mecca it has become. Especially during this time when we are all concerned about where our businesses are going, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a place as collaborative and caring as 5CC.

This month, we’ve brainstormed how to pivot our businesses during Covid-19. We’ve thought of photography projects, marketing plans, product lines and strategies for recovery.

We’ve learned new “painterly” photoshop editing skills, understanding how to “see” light in our images and dosge and burn for higher impact.

Sell Like You Mean It opened and members are learning how to master the booking phone call and develop a product line that works for their clients AND their bottom line.

We’ve had ProSelect tutorials using Zoom so you can get your sales appointments done even when you can’t see your clients. Plus, a crash course in how to use the software straight out of the gate.

Our Book Club is in full force and #AskJulia live segments are full of fabulous questions many people need hte answers to right now.

We’ve announced our first ever Diamond Awards and Wine Nights once a week are our social hit! Are you a member? Come join us for social our via Zoom! We may not be able to see each other face to face, but we sure can still meet face to face! Your photography business will get through this crisis and 5 Carat Collective will be there to help!
