Megan Breukelman of www.meganbreukelman.com had me intrigued. When we first started chatting about an interview, I knew she was a New York based wedding photographer.
In addition to her photography business, she has branched out, as many have, into helping other photographers succeed in their businesses where she helps with SEO, COPYWRITING, SOCIAL media and BRANDING.
She also has her own photography podcast – The Photo Opp Podcast: Finding Opportunity in Photography.
Today though, it appears she's joined forces with another photographer, is operating in both New York and Canada and has added family photography to her portfolio.
I was curious to learn if the changes are all due to the Pandemic or a strategic way forward in what is a new world for photographers in business.
In the interview, Megan shared some of the best and most exciting ways to attract photography clients – none better than utilising open houses and Instagram to book your dream wedding clients.
Here's some more of what we cover in the interview:

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes 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 is 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.
If you have left a review in the past, thank you! If you haven't and you'd like to, head to https://photobizx.com/itunes and you can leave some honest feedback and a rating which will help both me and the show and I'll be sure to thank you on the show and add a link to your website or blog if you let me know the URL of your website and your name.
I don't want to be posting too much from our archives because I think as photographers we get better and better and our styles change. – Megan Breukelman
Alternatively, if you've left a review for PhotoBizX and are looking for more backlinks to help your SEO, leave a review for the new Photography Xperiment Podcast and email me your keywords or keyword phrase and where you'd like me to link to.
Another great way to get a backlink to your site is to send a video testimonial. It doesn't need to be fancy and your phone will be perfect. Click record and tell me how PhotoBizX has made a difference to you and your photography business.

★★★★★ Upbeat and Real Photography Insights
Posted in iTunes by Michael Puck who offers On-Location Dog Photography in Tennessee on November 29th 2020.
I have been a premium member of PhotobizX for close to two years now. I have purchased some of the content that Andrew is offering, and I have completed his video training. The content and information that Andrew provides is incredibly valuable and has given me countless ideas and new perspectives that I integrated into my business.
An equally strong reason that I am always coming back for more is his genuine personality. Listening to the podcast is refreshing, honest, upbeat, and real. Andrew is one of these rare exceptions that instantly makes you feel “at home” and cared for, which is a beautiful gift in today's world.
Listen to PhotobizX and become a part of the family. You will never look back.
Thank you!
Thanks again for listening and thanks to Megan for coming on to share her thoughts and ideas on running a successful photography business today and how to utilise reception venue open houses and Instagram to generate a ton of wedding photography leads to book your dream clients.
One of the biggest parts of Instagram for me is that I make sure that we have a post going up every day. And that's super easy to do as photographers because we are just constantly creating content. – Megan Breukelman
