If summer has thrown off your routine, you’re not alone. It’s time to break the summer funk in your photography business.

Late bedtimes, travel plans, inconsistent childcare, endless reheated coffee, and last-minute lake days—it’s a lot. And somewhere in the middle of all that, your business may have started to feel like it’s just… surviving.

When your rhythm is off, it’s easy to spiral into doubt:

“Maybe my work isn’t good enough for that price increase?”

“Maybe I should wait until fall to get serious again.”

“Maybe I’m doing something wrong.”

But here’s the truth:
It’s not a reflection of your talent. It’s your tempo.

When things slow down in summer, we tend to spend more time in our heads than in motion. We stop taking action like we normally do, and start overthinking, second-guessing, and waiting for the “perfect time” to start again.

That’s why I’m sharing a few easy wins to help you break the summer funk and get your momentum back—without needing a full 8-hour workday.
