  • Very Helpful

    I love this podcast. It’s short, to the point, and both Alison and Melissa send show notes if you’re on their email lists. I took Alison’s blogging workshop - which was really helpful. Both ladies know the business side of photography well & have great ideas about cutting through the noise & getting legitimate.
