WHAT THIS PODCAST IS ALL ABOUT

Studio Tours takes you behind the scenes and inside the creative spaces photographers work in every day. From home studios and garage setups to luxury commercial spaces, each episode gives you an up-close look at how photographers design, use, and grow their studios.

Think MTV Cribs… but for photography studios.

Along the way, you’ll hear the stories behind the spaces, get inspired by different setups and styles, and pick up practical ideas you can apply to your own business — no matter your budget or stage of growth.

what works (and doesn't work) in business

Hi, I’m Nikki. I'm a photographer, podcaster, & educator.

Before building my business, I was a burned out social worker desperately needing a change. Within two years of starting my business, I built a successful photography business and retired myself from social work. 

Now, I help other photographers to build their own dream business through my podcasts and education.

I'm just a midwest girl with big dreams designing my life how I want it to be!.
