Next up to bat on the Fstoppers TogTools podcast series is our very own Sarah Williams, half of the wedding photographer team at Val & Sarah. Jess and Stephen interview Sarah about the importance of identifying a niche and how she goes about booking the type of people she would want to hang out with, the ins and outs of partnerships and connecting emotionally to her work.
Sarah is extremely engaging and funny throughout the episode and offers amazing stories and advice that I think everyone in business for themselves will connect with. I'm a wedding photographer and I learned a lot about what it would take for me to partner up with someone. There's a lot of valuable information in this one, and it's all easy to digest.
Be sure to check out more of Sarah's work here on her site!
