Jason Grubb, a wedding photographer in Denver, Colorado has strategically increased his Instagram followers and converted some of them into paying clients. Having a significantly smaller following on that social medial site, I was intrigued to learn more from him.

While our chat was short, I trust you will find a ton more useful and actionable information from Jason during his ShootDotEdit webinar on December 3. Find out more here.

Oh, and do follow him on Instagram too!

Lastly, do take a moment to check out Jason and Gina's wedding photography below.

I also invite you to visit their website. They are pretty specific about who they are, who they serve and what kind of photography they happen to create for those people they attract. This is “specialism” in action folks and I love how they have brought it all together.

Update: If you missed it, you can can the recorded version of the webinar with Jason Grubb here. Simply register on the site and you will be notified when it is ready to view.

In 2012, Susan Stripling Mautner was named one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers by American Photo. She photographs 50 weddings a year. She has been at this for about 15 years now. When she gets up on stage, people pay close attention to what she has to say about the wedding photography industry.

So, it's no surprise that she just launched The Dynamic Range, a repository for all her thoughts on the subject of photography. I got an exclusive opportunity to speak with her about The Dynamic Range and why she chose to create a new space that includes a blog and a storefront where you can learn from her blog or buy her ebooks and other resources.

Mark your calendars, from Friday the 28th of November through December 2nd, Susan is offering everything on The Dynamic Range at 30% off! So, bookmark this page now or click here to put your favorite ebooks into your cart.

Want to see what one of her ebooks looks like? Add your name and email to her list (find the form at the top right hand corner of her site) and she'll send one out to you to check out. I believe right now she is offering the one on how to photograph wedding ring shots. Her imagery is one of the finest and she is about to tell you exactly what she does to achieve those results. So, what are you waiting for? Go visit The Dynamic Range now!

Spencer Lum is no stranger to Tiffinbox, as he was the 2nd Annual Tiffinbox Award winner. As the principal photographer at 5 West Studios, a Brooklyn, NY based wedding photography business and the blogger behind Ground Glass, Lum is a highly sought after speaker and presenter. He will be at forthcoming Inspire Photo Retreats, in Portland, Maine from February 9 – 11th, 2015.

We sat down to chat about his 2014 presentation (which I missed!) and then explored what he will be speaking about at the 2015 event.

If you are still on the fence, please take a look at all the speakers who will be coming to Portland. I believe speakers like Ashley & Rich and others have one mission: to inspire you to do your best work in the near year. Everybody needs that kind of motivation year-in-and-year-out. If you agree, I expect to see you at Inspire Photo Retreats in 2015! Register today.

Next up in the Inspire Interviews series is Arielle Doneson, a film and digital hybrid shooter sought after worldwide for her luminous fine art approach to weddings. Come back and check it out or subscribe to TiffinboxTV.

He is a wedding photographer and educator based in Derry, Northern Ireland who has just launched a series of video courses for photographers called ENGAGE.

Donal Doherty has a vision. And that vision is to help as many photographers as he can with all that he knows about running a successful photography business.

Talk to the man and he is terribly humble about it. He shuffles through a slew of recent awards quickly, not making a very big deal about them. His focus is on what he can do, based on all that he learned in the PR world, to help photographers who struggle to run just “ok” businesses to running great ones. While he does offer mentoring sessions and he speaks often at industry events and writes a popular column for a UK based photography magazine, his busy wedding photography schedule keeps him from going all-in. That is, until he decided to invest a good deal of his own time to create ENGAGE.

If you are starting a photography business, branding one or need help with social media marketing, I recommend you check out Donal's newest offering.

Donal also launched an ebook called, “Engage: Social Media Marketing for Photographers.” Go to the website and sign up to receive your first chapter for free.

Still intrigued? I was. So, I sat down with Donal to chat about this new launch and why photographers like you should pay attention.

Check out some of his award-winning work here:

For about $150 a year … yes, a year … you receive nearly 30 videos that are between 10 and 15 minutes in length that explain the many facets of growing a business with a plan, branding it properly and then marketing it via social media.

Every two weeks, starting today through February 2nd, Donal will release each of The Business Plan Course videos to you. The Branding Course and The Social Media Course will follow.

Donal's intent isn't to just load you up with a whole bunch of content. There is enough of that already in the market. The reason each of the videos is released gradually is to give you a chance to watch the video and then implement what he has taught you to see results. I think this is what makes Engage so different. The emphasis is as much on the process as the results, which you will need to adjust because everyone's approach to business is different.

How will you fully engage with your photography business this year?

Erin and Jeff Youngren are photographers in San Diego who own two other brands – Clove & Kin and Bauman Photographers – in addition to their own wedding photography business. If anyone should have “no time to blog” it would be them. Yet they have made it work and in a way that makes them known among clients and in an industry they lead.

I spoke with them about the need to publish a blog, how they approach it, how they even personalize and of course find time to make it all happen.

The Youngrens, are presenting their ideas about blogging through a ShootDotEdit webinar on August 13th at 10 am PST.

I recommend you sign up for it right away. Like other ShootDotEdit webinars, I trust this one will also be extremely valuable to you and your business.

If you have any specific questions for The Youngrens, please use the comment section below to ask. I'll be happy to relay them to Erin and Jeff before the webinar begins.
