  • Glad to have this podcast back!

    Sandra is an industry expert who makes the complex seem simple. She has a gift for communicating with the listener and her interview subjects. I’ve gotten many gems of information from her podcasts and her website and classes of course. Glad to have her back and commend her bravery she displays by sharing so completely. She knows lighting, posing and business marketing so well and makes it accessible to casual photographers and experts alike.
