Snap & Shine: Start Your Own Self-Photography Studio
Let’s Build Your Self-Photography Studio — One Step at a Time
If you’ve ever thought, “I could totally run one of those trendy self-photo studios,”
…I’m here to tell you:
You can. And I’ll help you do it — free.
Oh! Where are my manners?
Name’s Ricky the Biz Bandit — your down-to-earth, hustle-smart raccoon with a knack for turning bright ideas into real-deal businesses.
I’ve helped folks just like you go from “maybe someday” to “now booking” — and now it’s your turn.
Let’s build your dream studio, one snap at a time.
I put together a 5-day quick start guide (text-based course) and a weekly newsletter called Snap & Shine for folks who want to start small, keep it simple, and build a solid, creative business they actually enjoy running.
No fluff. No pressure. Just the real stuff that works.
Why You Need This FREE 5-Day Quick Start Guide (Text-Based Course)
Starting a self-photography studio sounds exciting — but also kinda overwhelming, right?
That’s exactly why I made this guide.
It breaks down what you need to do and when, so you’re not just spinning your wheels or second-guessing every step.
Here’s what we’ll tackle together:
Day 1 – Plan & Prep
You’ll pick a name, get your basics in place, and plan a layout that makes sense — so your studio looks good and works even better.
Day 2 – Build Packages & Pricing
No guessing games here. You’ll learn how to structure your offers, set smart prices, and add extra options that make sense (and extra cash).
Day 3 – Market Like a Pro
I’ll show you how to make a solid first impression online, post just five great photos to get started, and use local print marketing to grab attention in your own neighborhood.
Day 4 – Book First Shoots
You’ll put together a launch promo, figure out who to target, and get your booking system up and running — so you’re actually bringing people in the door.
Day 5 – Deliver & Delight
From smooth session days to getting glowing testimonials, you’ll learn how to create an experience people want to share and come back for.
Bottom line?
You don’t need a perfect setup or a photography degree. You just need a clear plan, a little bit of hustle, and someone in your corner.
Let’s build something real, together.

Why Self-Photo Studios?
Because people love having a space to express themselves — and you don’t have to be a professional photographer to give them that.
You just need a space that looks good, gear that works, and a way to let folks in.
And yeah — you can absolutely build that.
