Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I'm chatting with portrait photographer Megan Grindel all about how she creates photos that feel like a memory. We dive into her unique approach to posing and editing — how she builds emotion into every shot, gets her clients to open up, and tells a full story through composition and color. Megan shares her go-to posing tips, her editing mindset, and how she's built a style that feels nastalgic and full of life. We also talk about the heart behind her new Photo Club, a space for photographers to grow together. If you want to elevate your portraits beyond "just pretty" and make them feel something — this one's for you.
