Business as an Adventure

In this episode, we talk about all sorts of fun things with Ohio wedding photographer Megan Allen of Studio 22 Photography. We talk about Megan being a YA Author, a Basketball star, a world traveller, a viral sensation, and much more. But most importantly, we talk about the rules of attraction, about how you have to show the world what you want, in order to get it. Photographers know this as "show what you want to shoot", but it goes much deeper than that.

Join us for a chat with award-winning, hilarious, and down-right awesome photographers Jesse and Moira La Plante, from J.La Plante Photography out of Colorado. In this episode, we discuss: ~ Ideal clients ~ Seth Godin ~ Insane Clown Posse ~ Staying sane while working as a husband & wife team ~ Half-assing vs. whole-assing ~ Why candid family photos > than posed family portraits ~ Specialization vs. diversification ~ The challenge of not repeating a shoot ~ Skydiving ~ Taking inspiration from our dentist ~ Calvin Coolidge

In 2012 after adding value and profits to their own business they saw a need for a better photo booth for their weddings and an easy solution for other photographers. Now, 9 years and 17 new employees later, PBSCO is a main-stay in the photography world, and constantly improve and innovate in the photo booth space.

From her unreal Dream Sessions to the amount of care and attention she puts into the experience of every session, she really crafts an unforgettable bond that will last a lifetime.
