This is a recording from our Tuesday Instagram Live. We share some amazing information here, but it is up to you to be open to receiving it and maaaybe feeling slightly uncomfortable with this powerful concept at first.

Copywriting for Photographers with Natalie Gates

With travel restrictions opening up soon, this episode will guide you on how to travel and make money in your photo business. In this episode we discuss forward marketing, booking clients online in different locations, legalities in Canada for working in different cities and national parks (this can also be applied to your country as well if you're outside of Canada but you'd have to look into the specifics), and different ways you can go about charging clients for work while you travel. If you liked this episode, we would love if you could leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts. This helps more people find us, which makes it possible for us to keep providing helpful content every week! 

Getting ghosted by clients can be a good thing. Are you thinking, "did they really just say that?" Yep. Listen to this week's episode to learn why.

Adventure elopement photographers Dan and Laura Pinckard join us on the podcast today to tell us their story on how they got started in photography. They tell us about their creative process from forming a new creative idea to creating the actual image. They also touch on how important the client/photographer relationship is, and how that must take priority over creativity sometimes. They tell us how they balance expressing their creativity in their sessions with also being mindful of what their clients actually want from them. A large part of the conversation also speaks to the different levels of "copying" other photographers - from getting and using inspiration from other photographers all the way to the other side of the spectrum of copyright infringement, where others have stolen their images and used them as their own. Dan and Laura have navigated these challenging situations in their career and provide grounded, reasonable advice on how to approach other photographers who are pushing or crossing copyright boundaries while giving the benefit of the doubt and remaining respectful, professional and kind. 

This is a recorded coaching call between Megan and Le'Saundra (@lesaundraphotography on Instagram).

Le'Saundra is a mom, a military wife and has a heart of gold.
