What They’re Saying
About Peyton Byford
See Peyton’s WorkMEET PEYTON, THE CREATOR OF THIS INFORMATION-PACKED GUIDE AND GURU ON ALL THINGS FINANCES WHEN IT COMES TO SMALL BUSINESS!
I’m Peyton! I am a photographer of love + all things lovely. I’m based in Oklahoma City with my husband (who is a videographer!) and two wiener dogs.
I created this guide to help make things easier for the small business creative’s. There is so much information out there in the world and it’s hard to decipher through what actually applies to our little businesses.
I like all my information in one place, so I knew that applying years worth of boring research and discovery into one place would hopefully make so many people’s lives way easier during one of the most stressful times of year – tax season!

"So I just finished my pricing guide with your Bella template, and HAD to email you! I am so so beyond grateful. It's so easy to see the work and heart you put into these templates, and they are beyond perfect. I love that you made them in InDesign and pushed me to learn my way around in there! It was so easy to tweak and customize things so that they fit my brand and personality."
Kelsey Moll Photography
Thanks to you I was able to create a pricing guide relatively painlessly, and I now have a beautiful and thoughtful document to send to prospective clients that clearly makes a case for my heart as a photographer and the value of my services. The template you created is beautiful, the support was a lifesaver, and my new guide is surely going to benefit my business. Thank you thank you.

“They have such a sleek, professional, minimal look. I loved that there were so many pages and there was plenty of room to educate my clients. I just can’t say enough great things about it. 10/10 recommend.”
