Hey Friends

Well, summer's over.  Time to get back into the regular work schedule.  Which means more episodes coming!

But we also want to talk about the dos and don't of being OR having a second shooter at a wedding.  Are you the primary and want a secondary?  Or are you looking to get into more weddings and being the secondary.  Well here's what you need to do, not do, and keep an eye out for with plenty of experiential examples.

Thanks Friends!

Hey Friends!

If you're not over on the Facebook Group, why not?  Every Tuesday we take questions from the community and give out real answers from our pros.  Questions from you.  Answers from us!  This time, we thought we would ready a few of those answers for the show.  So buckle in.  We're about to drop the knowledge.

Here's your link to the community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/160841264572540

Hey Friends!

Whoa!  This is it!  The 100th episode of Hello Storyteller.  Wow.  Who would have thought we could make it this far?!? Amazing. We've alluded to it before, but this week we're going to give you the origin story for Hello Storyteller.  The whole thing.  From the Academy to the podcast to the people that make it all happen.  

Thank you to our admins, our editors, our pros and creatives, and everyone else that makes this happen.  And especially our audience.  Thank you!

Hey Friends

Passionate subject today.  As some of you may be aware, there are things that happen at weddings that really light your fuse.  But for the rest, here is a brief list on the things that can really ruin a wedding whether it's from a guest or a vendor.  So take this episode, this list, and this opportunity to talk with the wedding party, planner, or couple, and make sure that they know what you nbeed, what you're doing, and maybe nip a few problems in the bud.

Bye Friends!

Hey Hey Hey

it's time to talk about getting organized.  REEL organized.  Get it?  Yeah.  We're cool.  We're talking about memory card organization, Reel organization, instagram, and even touch on a little making money.  So check it out.

Plus, we want to plug this handy dandy little device again because it is so great.

Hey Friends

This week it's all about summer.  Summer and then kids.  Summer, and the kids, and capturing those moments.  They're getting older.  Maybe wiser.  Definitely more annoying... kidding.  But you don't want to be stuck wishing you could capture more of those moments.  Get them now.  We reflect on what it's been like with the kids growing into their tween/adolescent years.  And how even we turn to the academy for tips and tricks about capturing summer in these awkward growing years.

Be sure to check out the Capturing Adolescence course: https://hellostoryteller.com/product/capturing-adolescence/ over on the HS Website.  And it's time for Summer Bingo.  Head over to https://hellostoryteller.com/summer-blackout-bingo-contest/ for more information on rules on how to play.

Have Fun and Welcome to Summer, Friends!

Hey Friends

Today we're going to talk more about getting that business going.  Welcome to part 3 of our passion to Profit series.  We want to talk more about the behind the camera stuff like finding the ideal client (and what that means) and customer relationship management (CRM) software.

Then, we got a request to talk a little more about some of the other things you can do to make money like corporate gigs, school sessions, and even photo booths.

Here's a link to the management software that we use for our own businesses as well as what the Hello Storyteller Academy runs on.  HIGHLY recommended. https://www.trysproutstudio.com/melissaortendahl

Thanks Friends!

Hey Friends!

Today we really REALLY want to talk to you about the Hello Pro program.  This program really snaps my photos.... closes my aperture... flashes my bulbs? What we're trying to say is it is a great way for all of our listeners who want to take that next step with the Hello Storyteller group.  Becoming a mentor.

Be an Artist. A Creative. A Mentor.  A Teacher.

We want you to become a bigger part of the community (if you think you're ready for it), so we dive in to some of the steps and benefits of the Hello Pro program.  If you're ready, you can start here: https://hellostoryteller.com/hellocreative
