The Creative Business Plan podcast is for photographers looking to find balance in creating the business of their dreams and living a life they love! Each week, we will talk through real business topics with a unique perspective. I like to keep things fluff free and straight to the point with episodes under 30 minutes. The host is Charley Van Amburg, owner and lead photographer of Modern Moments Photography and full-time wedding photographer.
