I'm excited to share this interview with Sandra Coan. Sandra is a mother of twin boys who photographs families and newborns on film in her Seattle studio. She's been in business for seventeen years and loves sharing what she's learned in those years. On today’s show, we talk about how she began taking photos for people as a business. She tells us about the path she took to discover what she does. Sandra didn’t start shooting film in a studio, she did some photojournalistic weddings along the way. Sandra talks about finding out who her people were - the people who wanted exactly what she wanted to make and how to talk to them. If you are starting a photography business or run one now, you’ll love listening to Sandra’s enthusiasm for business and also for helping others have as much success and fun as she’s having with her photography business. Even if you have no interest in ever starting a photography business - you’ll still love hearing from someone who has created a life they love so thoroughly. Enjoy the show. The new year is coming. Are you thinking of starting a daily photo project? I'd love to have you join me and other listeners. Sign up for more information.
