Shoot Edit Chat Repeat

We have a juicy episode for you today!

Today we are talking to Julie Christie of Togs in Business, all about the questions you need to ask yourself if you are considering quitting your photography business.

We asked Julie to come on the show after we saw that it had crossed her mind to quit this year, but then realised that wasn't the right decision after asking herself these 4 questions.

We won't tell you what the questions are, you'll have to listen to see!

Julie offers a lot of great advice in this episode, we hope you find it useful.

We have an info-packed episode for you this week. We're chatting with digital marketing expert, Kay Peacey, all about how you can use Facebook to grow your business. Organic reach (aka you don't pay for it) for Facebook business pages got very squished in 2018. Kay tells us what we can do about it that isn't throwing in the towel and storming off muttering about "Bloody Facebook!" The biggest takeaway…. step away from the tempting blue 'Boost' button of doomed tenners that you've been chucking blindly at Facebook, and get smarter about the paid ads you run. Turns out there's a stack of great tech behind the scenes. And once you know where to look and how to use it, you too can unleash the magic of retargeting (that thing where the dress you looked at on ASOS follows you round the internet). Listen and learn - there's a whole lot you didn't even know you didn't know about Facebook Ads! Here are some of the links that Kay mentions during the chat.... The Facebook Newsfeed blog post - in which Kay outlines what you can do to help your page posts show in newsfeeds without paying for it The Don't Panic About GDPR blog post - in which Kay tells you how hard it is to actually get busted for GDPR non-compliance and talks you down from the ledge The Free Facebook Pixel Tutorial - in which you can sign up to get access to the ridiculously easy and fast pixel tutorial and take your first and most important step on the road to smarter ads The Smarter Facebook Ads course - in which Kay and Melissa steer their students safely through the scary but oh-so-worth it world of Facebook and Instagram ads.

We recorded this week's episode at the Farmer's Market in Brighton, hosted by the Photography Farm.

In this episode we chat to Yorkshire based husband & wife team, the lovely Jo & James Melia (known as MeliaMelia).

When we saw that Jo & James were speaking at the show, we were keen to book them for an interview as their style of photography is wild and raw and quite different to many of the other family photographers we have interviewed so far.

We chat about lots of things including:

- How they dealt with their first experience of being trolled recently

- How they work together as a team

- How they photograph children in a wild and free way

- Why they've just switched from Canon to Sony

- How they've grown their Instagram following to over 12k

And lots more! Really hope you enjoy our chat with them.

Vicki's Delight Retreat for family photographers

In this week's episode we are chatting to fine art wedding photographer Stu Cooper, who has 30 years of experience.

Stu talks about how the industry has changed over the past 3 decades and why he shoots with a hybrid of film and digital in his work. He runs the business with his wife Anna, and shoots alongside her too, so we chat about how they work together. Stu also gives some great advice for new photographers just starting out, and you mustn't miss his embarrassing story at the end! We really hope you enjoy this episode, we're pretty sure you will!

(Please note there is some adult language from quite early on, so you may want to listen via headphones if you have little ears around!)
