Today I’m sitting down with one of my long-term clients and friends, Meg Mosher, a lifestyle family photographer out of New York who has been in business for over 10 years. We’re diving into her unexpected journey from engineering into photography, her early experiments with Google Ads, and her renewed passion for documentary family sessions.
In this episode, Meg shares how she transitioned from portraits to documentary, why backyard sessions became such a hit, and the lessons she learned about balancing lifestyle and documentary work in her business.
