What do you get when you combine a background in business and social work with a desire to photograph things that are beautiful? And why not add in a superpower for helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera? This powerful combination will give you none other than this week’s guest on The Profitable Photographer Podcast, the amazingly talented photographer Donna Edman. 

Donna is an award-winning portrait photographer with a passion for honoring and encouraging people to share their legacy. Not only is Donna a talented portrait photographer, but she also loves to teach small groups of photographers, has been named Portrait Photographer of the Year 3 times in a row by the Professional Photographers of Orange County, and has her work featured in a museum as well. 

Talk about a photographer who knows what she’s doing! 

Donna and I had a wonderful conversation, and I’m amazed that we haven’t crossed each other’s paths before. Especially since it feels like we’ve had similar experiences in growing our photography businesses over the years.

Listen in as Donna shares with us: 

• her favorite 7 ways to put portrait clients at ease in front of her camera
• how to best photograph kids
• when to start building a relationship with your clients
• why creating art for ourselves is okay
