Jason Marino of www.facebook.com/imaginephotoaz came to my attention through a post in the Members Facebook Group. Kelly Barnes was asking about an interview with a photographer who has ADHD.
It turns out the photographer in question was featured on another podcast. That's when Eric Cathell and other members suggested I need to get this photographer on the podcast – they all agreed, he is fantastic!
They were talking about Jason Marino, who is part of a husband and wife team who runs Imagine Photography in Arizona, USA.
They run a multi-focused studio, photographing weddings, seniors and families in-studio and location.
I love this line on their about page…
From hanging out of the windows of moving cars to standing on an active airstrip, if it makes a great shot, we're going to risk it all.
Check out their Instagram feed, and you'll see a varied portfolio of beautifully (and creatively) lit portraits from couples to seniors, boudoir and maternity.
From the outside looking in, I get the feeling every day is different for this team, and Jason will be the perfect guest to learn more about working with ADHD and running a successful business simultaneously.
Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes or Google reviews and it's always a buzz to receive these… for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes and Google are the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and ultimately a better show.
I'm super, super driven for success and I sacrificed even the quality of life for that success. – Jason Marino
