Member Testimonials

The Portrait System is helping make the transition from being a weddings-only studio to a weddings-and-portraits studio seamless and simple. Extremely high-quality education, a wonderful resource, and a no-brainer if you're looking to create a profitable portrait business. Susan Stripling
The Portrait System has been the single-most impactful thing I've incorporated into growing my business, and in many ways, my life! Andrew Knowles
 
The Portrait System has changed my photography for the better and changed my business to one that I’m proud to talk to everyone about she really has made me value my creativity as a photographer. Ola Adegoroye
The Portrait System allowed me to grow from hobbyist with a borrowed camera and a dream, to professional portrait photographer with a six-figure business. There is no way I would be here without her education. Cat Ford-Coates
Sue is not just a mentor, in the area of photography; she's a life coach in the area of living. Using Sue's talks, and instructional videos, I've not only launched a successful business, experienced exponential growth with my portraiture skills, but have also overcome serious blocks which were standing in my way of success; such as: self esteem/self value issues, a fear of asking for money, as well as the overall negative self talk, which can destroy the foundation of any business. Simply put, The Portrait System, was the best investment I have made into myself, and my business, since it began! David Lee
The Portrait System has given me ALL of the tools needed to take me from a "shoot and burn" photographer making less then $200 a session to a portrait photographer with a studio and over a $1200 average and growing in less than 4 months. Ashley Lindsey
Building a successful and sustainable photography business is no secret anymore. The Portrait System provides you with every tool you need to master your craft, how to market and sell and overall how to become the best version of yourself. You just have to do the work! Ursula Schmitz
By far the best investment you will ever make for your business and for yourself. I will never let my subscription lapse. Never. Liz Wikstrom Barlak
 
Sue Bryce changed my life. There are a lot of web-based photography education sites but very few even touch on teaching how to successfully run a photography business. The Portrait System will teach you how to create amazing portraits but it will also give you the tools you need to create a thriving, profitable, and sustainable business. The icing on the cake -- it's affordable and the community of mentors and fellow photographers is so supportive and willing to share their experiences. Give up 7 lattes a month join today! Brian Bielanski
SBE helped me transition from being an accountant, to photographing in my home full time to now having my own studio. However, I grew not only in my photography skills, but, more as an entrepreneur, challenging myself outside my comfort zone in order to connect with clients and gain sales while still enjoying what I love to do. Celestina Ando
In my photography journey, I have tried many educational platforms, but none felt as comprehensive as The Portrait System. Here was a place where I had access to my mentor, content that truly guides one through the path in becoming a professional photographer and connection to one of the most supportive communities online. Without a doubt, if not for Sue and her teachings, I would not be seeing the level of business success that I am seeing today. Join now, absorb the wealth of knowledge, put in the hard work and you will achieve your goals! Neon Howe

Why I created The Portrait System

You have the power to change people’s lives.

My name is Sue Bryce. I've been a portrait photographer for 28 years. I'm a business owner and I'm an educator.

I have this deep passion for watching people go through the process of being photographed. Now my passion has extended to helping photographers build their confidence, brand, and their income.

I love watching people unfold in front of the camera and seeing their light shine out. What comes out is, “Am I okay being the best that I can be?” “Is it okay that I'm allowed to shine?” “That I'm allowed to love myself?” “That I'm allowed to be good enough?” Well building a business is no different.

Building my business was the most transformational time in my life. Learning to value myself and be sustainable in business changed my entire world. I want to teach you to receive money in equal exchange for your craft and own your path with certainty and conviction and walk towards it.

Building The Portrait System was about realtime learning. You can choose to do this in the group. You can choose to do this in your own time. But the one thing you are going to experience is being confronted on every block and every fear that you have, and you're going to learn to face it and smash through it, so you can build a business that you dream of for you and your family.
