Layla Vance

๐Ÿ“ Austin, TX

Layla books premium newborn sessions with $1,200 average spend โ€” 60% of that comes from album upsells

Newborn work is in-home, slow, and high-trust. Layla uses Fotiqo's gentle workflow (no kiosk, no rush) and makes the real money on the album โ€” designed inside Fotiqo's photo book editor and printed by Zno-quality vendors through Prodigi.
