Morgan talks about starting her wedding photography business in 2017 after a negative experience with her own wedding photographer, leading to the creation of a team-oriented business model. Megan traces her path back to 2005, recounting how she transitioned from corporate life to a full-time photography business, learning critical business principles from her entrepreneurial family background. The hosts also discuss the inception of their friendship and the reasons behind starting this podcast: to build a community where photographers can share successes and learn business strategies to sustain a fulfilling and prosperous career.
