  • Great insight

    I just found out about your podcast and started listening from day 1. What drew me was you are unapologetically Living your faith. Kudos man! I just listened to your episode on pricing and i noticed it was about wedding photographers, I’m starting to focus a little on my photography but more into family, headshots portraits. How do we do market research when we dont have vendors or wedding planners to scope out?
