Sometimes celebrating a major milestone calls for bringing together your business besties for an honest conversation about business. In today’s episode, I’m replaying my conversation from the Business-First Creatives Project, where I’m chatting with my business besties Colie James and Annemie Tonken about our over 30 years combined experience in photography. We’re diving into mistakes we’ve made, pricing strategies, and so much more. 

The Shoot It Straight Podcast is brought to you by Sabrina Gebhardt, photographer and educator. Join us each week as we discuss what it’s like to be a female creative entrepreneur while balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood. If you’re trying to find balance in this exciting place you’re in, yet willing to talk about the hard stuff too, Shoot It Straight Podcast is here to share practical and tangible takeaways to help you shoot it straight.
