In this week's video, we catch up with Abel Jones who runs a photography business in the PNW area. We talk about his journey getting started with photography, and the growth it's seen in the past couple of years. We focus on his gigs in the wedding business, and his experience expanding that into newer offerings like senior shoots, family shoots, and more. He talks about the specific processes he has in place from booking a wedding to shooting and editing it, the tools he uses, and how much time actually goes into the full thing. I had fun learning a lot in this episode and hope you enjoy it too!

In this week's episode, we sit down with 2 co-owners of East Portland Locksmith to talk about their journey over the last few years of business ownership. They purchased the business when it was in decline and had their work cut out for them in righting the ship - and they told the stories of that process. We also talked some of the biggest lessons they've learned since getting into business ownership, what they're working on now, and what it takes to be a business owner in any field. We also hear a couple great insider stories - so stick around for the whole scoop!
