349: Kristen Kidd – How to set up and run a profitable photography book project

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Kristen Kidd of www.kristenkiddphotography.com is a Philadelphia based family and pet photographer who released a super-profitable coffee table book and shares exactly how you can do the same in this interview. Like many of us, Kristen was working a 2nd job while making the transition to full-time photography. In 2017, she stepped away from her social worker job to fully dedicate herself to photography business and her clients. I was contacted by Kristen's PR agent, Patrick, about setting up this interview after Kristen authored the coffee table book, “A Woman’s Best Friend.” The book documents stories and shows photos based on one question… When has your dog been there for you in a way a human could not? 100% of the book's proceeds benefit a local Animal Shelter. My question to Patrick, when setting up this interview was – has the book helped Kristen's pet photography business? He said yes. We went on to schedule this interview to learn how to set up and run a profitable photography book project.
