We're back! After a temporary "summer break" we are back and better than ever with season 2! We start this season with some big announcements, new segments, and a great interview. How far is too far when bending over backwards for your clients? We discuss the pros and cons of having boundaries in your business. After that we have a great interview with Chris & Adrienne Scott where we discuss perfecting your portrait sales.

In second installment of our live show at the BrickFactory, we talk with Leeann Marie about why she is a big nerd (you should be one too) and why systems are sexy! She also recites the alphabet backwards! If you missed the first part of this two part special please check out episode 118 first!

With a slight (okay, substantial) delay, we are thrilled to finally bring you part one of the "Live at the Brick Factory" episode. This episode is audio only for the podcast feed but we will be posting video to the website shortly. In the first part we admit to some wedding blunders we've experienced, discuss how and why we watermark (or don't watermark) our online images, and end with a great interview with Jared Bauman about pricing.

In this episode we talk about some challenging lighting situations and how we might handle them. After that, Jamie reviews his new Polaroid Pro 600SE. We also take some listener questions including or very first call in question!

Okay, let me start by saying that we have no interest in attacking anyone’s character or bashing anyone personally. This is our best attempt at an objective, educational review of David Jay’s new “Photo System”. David Jay, among others, has been catching a lot of flack in our industry as of late. It seems like the masses are finally starting to question wether or not the people offering workshops and learning tools are qualified to do so. Listen as we walk through the “10 easy steps” in the system and discuss.

In this episode we also answer some great questions from listeners, Phil insults all of England and Jamie professes his love for smoothies.
