How a TSS Photography Franchisee Turned Passion into Profit

Rachel Sherman, one of our exceptional TSS franchise owners in South Florida, has taken her event photography business to new heights. Over the past month, she’s booked 17 social events (on top of her sports and school jobs), proving that hard work and smart networking can create a thriving business. In fact, her dedication is so impressive that she even scheduled three new events while stepping off a plane!

Building Success Through Service & Referrals

Rachel’s success isn’t just about her hustle—it’s about the impeccable service she offers her clients. From school pictures to sports leagues and private parties, Rachel has earned a stellar reputation that brings in repeat business and constant referrals. She’s built a loyal network, making her the go-to photographer for clients in South Florida who demand quality and consistency.

Leveraging Cutting-Edge Technology

What really sets Rachel apart is her ability to bring innovation into every event she covers. By introducing exciting technologies like the Smile Station—a sleek, modern photo booth that delivers high-quality pictures instantly to guests’ mobile devices and upgradable to be able to print on site—she’s upped her game. This unique offering adds a fun, interactive element to any event, leaving guests with memories they’ll cherish.

Innovation at the Core

Rachel’s secret to growth lies in her constant search for new ways to exceed client expectations. Whether it’s through implementing cutting-edge technology or refining her event services, Rachel ensures every client receives a premium experience. Her commitment to innovation is one of the key reasons her business continues to thrive, providing memorable experiences for every event she touches.

"The tools and resources TSS provides have been instrumental in expanding my business into new markets I never would have considered before. From school events to private parties, TSS has given me the confidence and the ability to take on bigger ventures that were once out of reach. It's been incredible to see my business grow in ways I never thought possible," shared Rachel, as she reflected on the growth of her event photography business.

Growth Prospects

Pursuing a career in photography can be highly lucrative, especially for those who approach it with a strategic focus on high-earning specialties and a long-term commitment to the craft. According to recent data presented in Zenfolio’s 2024 State of The Photography Industry report, full-time self-employed photographers saw a 3.7% increase in the proportion of individuals earning over $100,000 annually, signaling that the industry offers significant financial potential for those who dedicate themselves to their photography business.
