Andrew Osterberg and Lori Osterberg Meet Andrew and Lori

“I have learned there is more to success than simply wishing for it. It’s about developing an image, creating a vision, and understanding the focus necessary to achieve!”– Lori Osterberg

Less than 10% of today’s photographers will ever make more than $50,000 in annual income. Most photographers work part time, and use photography simply as a release from their full time jobs. They continually work for the day when photography can become their full time career.

VirtualPhotographyStudio.com has a goal to change those statistics. We want to have everyone who loves photography have the ability to turn their business into a full time career. We feel every photographer should be earning a six-figure income; and we’ll show you how to do it.

Hi, we’re Andrew and Lori, co-founders of VirtualPhotographyStudio.com. We know we can show you how to become a six-figure success because we did it ourselves! In the 90’s, we doubled – even tripled – our profits year after year. Thanks to the Internet, our photography became a virtual success, and we were soon traveling anywhere our clients wanted us to photograph. We loved what we did – and now we want to share those same techniques with you. We are proud to be members of WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International)
