Navigating Marketing Photography in a New Town Where You Know No One is Challenging
Welcome back! The government didn’t shut down (yet), I haven’t been laid off (yet), but I have fully gone balls to the wall on marketing my photography business just in case. Since I last posted, McMillan Moments Photography is back in FULL swing. As always, I’m not really entirely sure what I’m doing.
