  • So Helpful!

    Just finished listening to the most recent episode about keeping in touch with clients. This is the first podcast episode I’ve ever saved and I plan on listening to it a couple times. Thank you PPA for the photography business content you put up here. The photography side is the easy side for me, it’s this side of my business I need the most help with.

  • Most insightful delivery of what professional photography is about!!!

    Just listened to Defining your style - Building a purpose-driven photography business with Tim Walden…. Tim clearly explains the difference between taking a picture, and capturing a memory that lasts a lifetime. I learned more about photography as a business in this episode than I could have imagined.

    Amazing episode. Worth a second or third listen!

    Thanks!
