From understanding the costs and time commitments to navigating usage rights and creating the perfect shot list, this episode covers everything you need to know to make the most of your photography investment.

I also share my personal experiences with photoshoots, including the challenges of working around outdated focal points or less-than-ideal lighting, and how I overcame these obstacles by creating custom photography presets.
