Build a Photography Business That Finally Pays You What You’re Worth.

Clarity in Focus helps portrait photographers understand the business side of their work—pricing, marketing, and systems—so they can run studios that support real life, not burnout.

Led by photography business educator Clare Troutman, Clarity in Focus offers practical education and clear strategy for photographers who want confidence, clarity, and a business that actually works.

See What Your Clients Really Value About You

Most photographers have no idea what clients actually value about them. This free guide walks you through collecting real evidence from your past clients - evidence that proves you're worth premium pricing.

Takes 20 minutes.
Changes everything.

Meet Clare

I'm Clare Troutman, and I spent 13 years running a portrait photography studio.
 

I know what it's like to book back-to-back sessions and still wonder if you can pay rent. I know the panic of zero inquiries for three weeks straight. And I know exactly how to fix both problems—because I did.

Now I help photographers (especially those under 3 years in business) stop undercharging, start booking consistently, and build a business that doesn't require 60-hour weeks.
 

I teach the business fundamentals that actually matter: pricing that covers your costs, marketing that doesn't drain your soul, and systems that run your business so you don't have to.

What Photographers Say

I was charging $250 per session and booking maybe 2 clients a month. After working with Clare, I raised my prices to $550 and I'm actually booking MORE consistently. She showed me exactly what to say when people ask if I can 'work with their budget' - and now I don't panic and drop my prices.
