If you’re a photographer, you know that running a creative business isn’t just about taking stunning pictures—it’s about juggling a thousand other things, including your finances. In my recent podcast with Danielle Wagner, CEO of Vyde, we dove into some of the best photography business tips to help you create financial peace of mind. Spoiler alert: it’s easier than you think when you have the right tools and strategies.

Stop Letting Financial Chaos Steal Your Joy

Let’s be real: no one gets into photography because they’re excited about bookkeeping. But ignoring the financial side of your business can create a snowball effect of stress. Danielle shared some incredible insights about how simple changes—like staying on top of tax deadlines and knowing your deductions—can help you avoid financial pitfalls. She explained how Vyde’s system keeps you compliant, organized, and stress-free. And honestly? Who doesn’t want more time to focus on their art instead of worrying about paperwork?

Make Bookkeeping Easy (Seriously, It Can Be)

One of my favorite parts of our chat was when Danielle broke down how Vyde works. Imagine having someone else categorize your expenses, keep track of deadlines, and make sure your books are always in order—all while you’re out there capturing memories for your clients. That’s exactly what Vyde does. It’s like having a financial best friend who actually understands the unique needs of photographers. Plus, it’s not just about avoiding headaches—it’s about creating a solid foundation for your business to thrive.

Stay Ahead of the Game with Consistency

If you’re waiting until tax season to even look at your books, stop that right now. Danielle emphasized how important it is to have regular check-ins with your finances. Even if it’s just once a quarter, having a rhythm keeps you from feeling overwhelmed and helps you make smarter decisions. Vyde makes this so simple by giving you the tools and reminders to stay on track. It’s proactive, not reactive, and that shift can make all the difference.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

I’ve always said that finding ways to work smarter, not harder, is the key to thriving as a creative entrepreneur. Vyde isn’t just a bookkeeping service; it’s a game-changer for photographers who want to reclaim their time and energy. Danielle explained how they combine smart technology with personalized support, which means you get the best of both worlds. It’s efficient, but it’s also tailored to you—and that’s a rare find.

If you're into moody portraits, 90's nostalgia, great wine, Taylor Swift, memes I find funny + probably way too many videos of my cats? You've come to the right place.
