Instagram is not a platform for a professional portfolio. Major magazine editors and art directors will never accept Instagram as a professional portfolio. They wont even look at it. I would know, I am one of them. We dont care about followings, someone with a million followers doesn't mean a million people will see them. about 1000 out of that million actually pay attention to who they follow.
1000000% agree with this! ❤️
Idk what I love more your content or your accent ❤😂😂
Okay... you've inspired me. My Canon EOS R has been collecting dust for a year. No longer! You are a beautiful, brilliant and generous soul. Thank you so much! Cheers.
Buenas Laura¡ Soy un fotógrafo español que vivo en Manchester. He de decir que me encanta tu confianza en ti misma, una cosa, que por desgracia me falta. Bueno, vamos al grano, que me encantan tus videos y los consejos que das. Animo y salu2
I saw your website a time ago and I was shocked by your work. Those portraits with the musicians are so creative! You are totally right. A clean portfolio makes the pictures stand out more. I've just signed into the free trial you posted. THANK U. I'm playing around with it now and it looks soooo cool. I may take the cheapest plan when the trial expires as I'm just starting to set up everything for future work. Thanks again.
Thank you so much Sara! I actually can't wait to shoot with artists again. Hopefully soon when things get better and they re-open venues.
So glad to hear that you are trying out Squarespace. I'm sure you will love it! If you need any help, give me a shout! :)
Hi there. Thank you for all your information. Very helpful and inspiring as well:)
Thanks!
Awww you are welcome David! Thank you so much for your support, it means the world to me! 🥰 Have a lovely Sunday! :)
Omg you’re so damn right about Instagram 😩 it’s all about followers unfortunately! And now there’s the problem about algorithm which is a pain in the ass
Yesss! I gave up on Instagram. I use it a lot but not trying to grow anymore. I use it just as a way to share my everyday life and some work. Also to connect with people. But trying to grow became a way of slavery in the platform. 😂
Such a huge fan of your work. And thankyou for such useful points
Thank you so much! 😍 So nice to hear! I hope you enjoy my channel! :)) Hugs from London! ❤️
Always good contents Laura! Keep it up
Thank you so much Victor! ❤️ Big big hug! :)
Love your accent !!
This is really good stuff.
Thank you.
Its hard to hear you with the background music. You may want to try a different mic placement or playing with the EQ while editing. Thanks for the tips.
Hi! Thank you so much for this feedback.❤️ In the last videos I've been editing the music with a lower volume. With headphones otherwise sounded too loud as you may have experienced on this one. Thank you! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the tips! :)
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for those detailed insights on how to approach building a portfolio. Can you elaborate as well on the first option you mentioned regarding creating a portfolio as a .pdf? You mentioned a website but didn't link it :)
Hi Stefan! Thank you! So nice to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it useful! :)
The website is called: “Canva”
I have a video where I show you how to do a pdf with it. It’s towards the end of this video: ruclips.net/video/TzXnEcQeMCY/видео.html
I hope you find it useful. If you have any questions let me know. :)
u always look cute
Thank you so much! 🥺❤️
You definitely are THE clearest to explain things, to share your passion and transmit it. I have been following you since the beginning of this adventure of yours and I don't regret it at all. Your content is so full of ideas...thanks!
Barbara! 😍❤️ Thank you so much for such meaningful words. And for being here with me since the beginning. I really appreciate it and I’m so happy to know that you enjoy my videos and how I present them. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Plus honest and straightforward.
THIS IS LIKE A LITTLE MASTER CLASS FOR PORTFOLIO BUILDING..... GREAT STUFF!
Awww great! That's the perfect feedback and that's what I wanted with this video. Thank you! ♥️
Laura I love your content! I discovered your channel yesterday and I can't stop binge watching all your videos.
Very very insightful and informative content.
Thank you millions and wishing you all the success - you deserve it.
Your artwork is truly amazing and inspiring.
P.S. Your Spanish accent is like a joyfull honey to my ears.
Awww thank you so much for such a lovely comment! It really means a lot to me! :) It motivates me, even more, to keep creating! Very happy to have you around here. I hope you enjoy my channel and my thick Spanish accent! 😆 Hugs from London! :)
One of the best most comprehensive advice I’ve seen on RUclips. So happy to discover your channel. Best of luck in 2024 and beyond! 🎉
Hi Laura.. I'm just a beginner photographer but I have another full time job. I'm struggling with my website . Start doing it in Adobe since it comes with it along with the monthly payment but got stuck with the Google analytic g4 that links in my website . Is Google analytic is good ? Shows how many people are looking on your website. A portrait and landscape photographer and wanted to add more pics in my portfolio. Please give me some insight. I got stuck too with contract and pricing . Thanks. Got addicted to your you tube.
I’d like to know more as well. I’m brand new to photography my interest is real estate and portraits. Need to create a portfolio and website. I plan to use the square recommendation.
Hope can collab wit u 🤗🤗🤗
📸❤️
Beautiful site 🤙🏽🌊🔥

Great info! I love your suggestion of sending proofs through our website with a password. 👍🏾
Thank you so much Isaac! :) Right? When I found out that feature, I was in love with it! It's super nice to be able to send a private link with your domain to your clients. Thanks for watching! :)
Such a lovely manor when presenting ..
Awwww thank you Ian! :))
Hola Laura, saludos desde MEXICO.... Veo tus videos que por cierto me encantan... en ingles.. pregunta lo tienes en español ?? Saludos.
19:07, which drag n drop website builder you are using?? Abd how did you build your photography website? Any step by step insight tutorial which one can follow and make one for themselves !!
Laura… You are a breath of fresh air. The information that you shared is game changing 💯. Thank you! Keep being you!
Awww thank you so much for such a nice comment! ❤️ It motivates a lot. I’m glad you liked this video and I hope you’re enjoying my channel! 🙏🏼📸
@@LauraBC Yes… Your content is amazing and the life story is incredible. Keep being you. You are so aspiring. I can’t wait for the next video…💯
Thank you for this informative video. I went and start making a website on Squarespace as suggested. Do you have a video about what information to include on the website if you are beginner and don't have a lot of experience to talk about ? How can we still make it appealing?
Thank you ❤
Too much content IMO, you should split your website in two : one for your business, blog, shop, etc… and the other only for your portfolio.
That’s how most high-end photographers are doing, so I guess they got something right.
You can check for exemple Tin House Studio, which also have his portfolio as Scott Choucino. Cheers!
I haven't found an elaborate photography RUclips channel as yours since I started looking. Your videos are clear, detailed and answer all the questions I have. Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm now excited to venture into photography, confident that your videos will guide me through it all. Is there a course/courses you can recommend one to take to learn about the right equipment/lenses to use for professional photography? I have a Canon M50 and sometimes clueless about what lens to get for quality pictures.
Great content Laura, thanks for your generosity to share. Can I know which template you're using, please?
MY questions is that are u going to take pictures before creating the Portfolio and the blog too are you going to the blog video before putting it in ur website, because of I am a beginner in photography that's why I AM asking u this.sorry if my question is weird
Laura I really feel a connection and real passion for sharing your wisdom with us I am very thankful trying to create my very own business
This is the BEST video. Thank you for giving the reasoning being things so clearly.
Waw...i love every bit of dis video 🎉
Thank you! 😍
Am I the only one with a huge crush on Laura??? Like I'm here for the content information but I'm also in love LoL
Hi Laura, thanks a lot for the video, your website is great ! what is the name of your template please ?
You are so helpful thank you !!!!
You are very welcome Brandon! :))) ♥️
You speak so fast, literally I am listening 2 times, thank you for sharing
Excellent once again Laura😁
Thank you Bryan! 🥰 I hope you had a great weekend! :)

Very well explained, Thank you
How do you come up with a website name?
im in the process of making a portfolio 😊
Ma'am, can I ever meet you in person?
What do you think of Webware io ?
I've never hit that notification bell so fast in awhile. Thank you for sharing this valuable information. Greeting from Oklahoma City USA
Awww thank you Andres! Super happy to know that you like my content. Thanks for subscribing and hit that bell! 😍 Sending u loads of love all the way from London to Oklahoma! :)) 🙏🏼
ahh!!!!! soo cute accent
Pure motivation ❤
Laura, it's not weird thank you so much! Makes a lot of sense and I hope to travel soon. Can you do a video on pricing? Especially so many competition and pricing, for family, portraits, engagement, video 30-second commercials etc. For example, people don't factor in your software, editing time. I try to think how much I spent on my equipment, how muhc I want to make annually, monthly and from there figure out my hourly rate but not sure...how to stay firm when people ask for discounts. I am trying to build a 2nd career and also help small businesses struggling from pandemic but also need a profit.
Thank you, Jay
Hi Jay! :) I'm working on a course explaining all of this. There are loads of things to cover about this subject and it's for sure the one we struggle with the most! I'm currently working in very detailed videos where I will cover all of these topics and offer resources to help with the growth of photography businesses! :)
@@LauraBC thank you, looking forward and thanks for your practical and content and stern warning to keep learning. Viewer need to hear real talk :)
Jay, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
Love your content Laura. So many great tips.
Would like to ask you which font you use on your instagram highlights titles?
Thanks :)
Thank you so much! So nice to hear that you enjoy my videos! 😍 The font for my Instagram highlights is “Archivo Black”. 😊
Love your work..
Thank you so much Sashalee. I hope you enjoy my videos. Hugs from London! :)
very goood iam fashion photographer in iran
Thank you Henry! I hope you enjoy my channel! :)
Hi Laura, I love all your videos, and the settings are excellent; the lightings and everything was very detailed. Thank you for sharing. Is it possible if you could make a video of how you start booking a client and the format of a photography contract here in the UK?
Hi Johnallyn! How are you? Thank you so much for your amazing words! 🤩 I will think about a video like that. Thank you for the suggestion! :) For now, maybe you can check these regarding booking clients:

Big love! ❤️📸
Definitely going to start sharing proofs from my website. What a genius idea!! I currently use a different platform for proofs and delivery but hopefully I’ll can cut costs this way.
This is great news!! I got so tired of hearing all the photographers say niche down. You did highlight that you mostly do portrait photography, but you also show the other types of photography you are capable of. It makes more sense especially when starting out so you can get more clients. Encouraging and informative video thank you 😊 !!!
And again Laura very good and informative video. Eshop in wp with woocomerce is so taff and it costs. I planned to build my shop but stopped. Time consuming. I don't like this platforms but when you want a shop too maybe it's the right way. I had my site minimal but changed it because I am more videography in weddings oriented and wanted a little more design. Not much but little more. I will go through your video again to check the points. It is good to have a newsletter subscription in your videos so when youtube brakes some day down you will have our contact data. Or to inform us about new videos, sales, workshops etc
Exactly! I love Squarespace because it has everything integrated and very customisable. I have now the shop where I sell digital products and I like to have the option of the newsletter.
I want to build a community and be able to send interesting stuff to my subscribers as also discounts, free resources and more. It’s a way to keep in touch if somehow, one day, social media dissapears. Hard to believe but it could happen!
Squarespace also integrates with video and you can embed your work as well.
For me it was the one to go after a lot of research. 😍
@@LauraBC thanks you very much for answering 😊😊🙏
@@iamwannabefilmmaker 😊🙏🏼❤️
Me encanta tu pagina web! Super limpia y super profesional. Gracias por los consejos. 🙏🏼
Muchas gracias! Me alegro de que te guste mi web. :) La renové hace poco en Squarespace y la verdad que estoy super contenta en como se ve ahora! 😍
Gold! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 😍 I hope it helped! :)
@@LauraBC It did, I didn't knew I could do that in Squarespace 😄
@@Carlos_Vasquez Right?? I was so amazed when I discovered Squarespace. I did my Blog, my Shop and all the design of my pages with it. So far so good. 😍❤️
@@LauraBC I have a lot of work to do. This is the part of the business we tend to postpone, but is crucial if we want to grow as photographers
Great portfolo Vlog, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much Tony! I really appreciate your nice feedback. 🙏🏼 I’m glad you liked the video! :)
La web se ve estupenda. Tienes unas fotos super creativas.
Gracias por otro vídeo tan informativo
Muchas gracias! :)) Me alegro de que te guste mi trabajo y el video te haya servido de ayuda! 🙏🏼
I can’t explain how much I am into watching your videos. I am already afraid if you would stop somewhere. Please never stop doing this, you are already an inspiration for beginners like me.❤❤
Thank you for another beautiful video and I love your website and portfolio. I actually have a question: When using the private page and password to present pictures to a client (and have them choose their favourites) - how do they communicate/select the favourites?
Laura gracias por compartir tips tu trabajo es fantástico me encanta y me has dado muchas ideas, estoy empezando en fotografía espero que no te moleste el mensaje en español
Hi Laura, just wanted to let you know that I love your videos and please keep doing what you're doing, also you're work is amazing... Keep inspiring! 🤗
Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, Laura!
De nadaaaa! Me alegro un montón de que te guste mi contenido. 🤗
