From Side Hustle to Full-Time Photography Studio

Join PhotoDay Ambassador Donnie Dahlen of Donnie Dahlen Photography as he shares how he grew his business from approximately $20,000 a year to $300,000—allowing him to leave his nursing career and pursue photography full time.

Donnie now photographs around 80 organizations each year while remaining actively involved with his wife, six children, and several of his kids’ sports teams. In this webinar, he’ll break down the systems, automation, and streamlined workflows that helped him scale without sacrificing the time and freedom he was working toward.

You’ll hear candid lessons from his transition, how he built an efficient high-volume sports photography process, and what he would tell photographers hoping to make the same leap.

Whether you’re ready to go full time or simply want to build a more profitable, sustainable studio, Donnie’s experience will give you practical ideas for your next stage of growth.
