Today we’d like to introduce you to Megan Maundrell.
Hi Megan, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
What started as a “Hey cool, you should start a business out of that” to a friend who was into photography turned into a nationwide, love-obsessed team. We make it our mission to bring the weird and fun and make you feel completely at ease during your wedding.
I never expected to not only be in love with the artistic aspect, but also the BUSINESS portion of running a photography business. Sales, data, client communication and learning all things business related quickly became a passion of mine.
Throughout my learning journey, it became apparent that there were a few things broken in the way that many photographers ran their business – they almost always treated it like a hobby. I don’t know about you, but I want MORE than a hobby-level service when hiring professionals. My day-to-day goal is to treat every client like my only client – having a gallery turnaround time of under five weeks, never taking longer than 72 hours to respond to a concern, and infusing a personal touch wherever possible so that they know that they’re taken care of and appreciated. This is how I was able to transform a little idea in high school, into a 6 figure business.
Nothing fuels my day like client care. Whether I’m creating a process, getting on the phone with a couple, or giving my clients an inside peek at their gallery being edited, none of it feels like “work.”
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
There are so many struggles associated with any business. However, one of the major struggles that come to mind is the saturation of the photography industry. However, more than that, is the belief you hold when it comes to this topic, among many others.
Yes, the photography industry is saturated. And yes, that can become a struggle when attempting to acquire clients. But I believe that the biggest struggle that I came across and overcame was my own limiting beliefs.
Whatever the limiting belief is: Over saturated market, being too young, too old, too quiet, too loud. At the end of the day, we can be the single most effective force in holding ourselves back. That means that there is no one to blame but ourselves when we look at our shortcomings. Equally important, at the same time, we can be the driving force to propel ourselves forwards.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We’re a client-focused photo and video team specializing in capturing natural moments at weddings and photo sessions. Our main goal is to leave you worry-free from inquiry, posing worries (no posing like barbies here!), to photo delivery.
We’ve compiled the pain points, worries, and sticking points from hundreds of weddings and photo sessions to create a process that really serves you -and it’s fun to go through.
Every step of the way, from the consultation to the gallery, will be influenced by your individual story and needs so that you get photos that MEAN something to you. Because yes, while hiring a photographer who is excited to “create magic” is great, we think the real magic comes from listening to you, and capturing your story.
We are so excited to be expanding all over the globe in the Spring of 2023!
