In this inaugural episode of the Photo Business Success Podcast, hosts Morgan and Megan introduce themselves and share their unique journeys in the photography industry. They delve into their backgrounds, discussing the origins of their photography businesses, their approaches to the industry, and the realization that they didn't know everything about each other's stories despite being friends for over five years. Morgan talks about starting her wedding photography business in 2017 after a negative experience with her own wedding photographer, leading to the creation of a team-oriented business model. Megan traces her path back to 2005, recounting how she transitioned from corporate life to a full-time photography business, learning critical business principles from her entrepreneurial family background. The hosts also discuss the inception of their friendship and the reasons behind starting this podcast: to build a community where photographers can share successes and learn business strategies to sustain a fulfilling and prosperous career. Throughout the episode, they emphasize that they want to help photographers turn their passion into a viable business while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
