If you’ve ever heard photographers talking about partnering with other businesses but the idea of introducing yourself seems way too scary- today’s episode is for you. Before becoming a pet photographer, today’s guest, Monique Eckes worked in vet clinics for 15 years. She used her insider knowledge and just her genuinely lovely personality to be honest, to create her approach which has been wildly successful and she shares exactly what that looks like, with you.
We also discussed Monique’s weekly newsletter- yes weekly- including what she writes and if it’s worth the time.
The second half of the interview really dived into the in’s and out’s of surrounding yourself with the right supports from coaches to networking groups. And we touched on her plans for B2B for pet photographers too.
