  • How a Location Gallery System Can Save You Time and Create a Better Client Experience with Sandra Henderson

    In this episode of The Unexpected Entrepreneur Podcast Jessie chats with photographer and systems strategist, Sandra Henderson, about her location gallery system and how it has not only saved her valuable time, but also helped create a better client experience in her photography business.

    About Sandra:

    Sandra Henderson is a systems strategist, HoneyBook Educator, photographer, and host of the Keeping It Candid podcast. As a neurodivergent entrepreneur who navigates chronic illness life, she takes a unique approach to utilizing systems, workflows, and automations to help her run two different businesses while still being able to give her mind and body what they need. Her goal is to use that same approach to help photographers and wedding pros create strategic systems for their businesses so they can continue to thrive no matter what life throws their way.

    On a personal note, she loves tacos, afternoon naps, all things Bravo, 90's music, travelling, and spending time at home with her husband, step-son, and two cats!
