Focused Podcast

When first starting out, naming your business can either be a lot of fun or super stressful. In this episode with KC England, we'll be discussing the best tips for changing your name and letting your followers know. 

During this episode with KC, we talk about how we first met and why she wanted to change her business name. KC also discusses why she chose her first business name - "Leaving a Mark Photography".  We even get a little bit into birth photography and how to make it work when you also photograph other types of sessions!
