                                                            Today’s episode of the Photo Opp Podcast goes off-script in a candid conversation with fashion photographer and educator Olivia Bossert. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, we’re focusing on growing your fashion photography business – even in times of crisis:

                                                            • What to be doing next in your fashion photography business

                                                            • Gaining fashion photography clients no matter where you live

                                                            • Weathering the storm through the coronavirus pandemic

                                                            • SO much more!

                                                            If you are a new listener to Photo Opp, I’d love to hear from you. DM me @meganbreukelman with any questions or ideas, and join the Facebook Group for meaningful discourse within the community.
