When it comes to the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve come a long way since March 2020. National shutdowns and event restrictions are seemingly over (knock on wood) and many business owners are wondering whether they still need to address Covid-19 within their contracts.

Truth be told, social media hashtag strategies are becoming more complex by the day. The algorithms change on a dime and even seasoned business owners feel like they take one step forward and two steps back. Not to mention shadowbanning (where you can use one wrong hashtag that leaves you in the dark for an extended period of time) OR all the legal implications of using brand hashtags and potential copyright infringement.

Boudoir Photography is a way that people choose to celebrate their bodies, reconnect with themselves, and boost their confidence.  In Episode #137 of The Legal Paige Podcast, I sat down with Emily Sacco of Emily Sacco Boudoir to dive into all the beauty (and bummers) of running a luxury boudoir photography business.

Imagine this: A wedding photographer booked a couple earlier this year. As the countdown grew closer to the big day, the monkeypox outbreak spread across the country, public health emergencies were declared, and the client spirals into a downright panic. The photographer opens up their email to find their client trying to get out of their contract due to the “national emergency”.

Imagine this: You’ve come up with a genius business idea and are 100% certain that it is THE next big thing.

After much debate, you brainstorm a name that is bound to go viral and quickly dig into bringing it all to life. You buy a website domain, grab the social media handle, and are well on your merry way to entrepreneurial success when you find out…someone else has your business name. *Cue sad trombone*

Do you throw a tantrum? Contact the person and cause a scene? Look at trademarking the name before they can? Or is it time to relinquish your favorite business name (even though it makes you feel like your great idea is crumbling to the ground)?

Is your dream job ‘travel influencer’? I don’t blame you! There’s something magical about the thought of traveling to the world’s most beautiful destinations, snapping awe-inspiring photos, and sharing your experiences with tens of thousands of fans.

 

As with any career, there are laws and regulations in place even in the influencing space that you should be aware of before you pack your suitcase. In fact, a travel influencer was sued this spring for saying she was the first woman to travel to every country online (along with many other issues).

It’s that time of year again: WEDDING SEASON! If you’re a wedding photographer, you are right in the thick of busy weekends, back-and-forth communication, and a big editing queue. It's beautiful. It’s exhausting. And emotions are high.

So what do you do when emotions are a little bit too high? In this episode, I tackle the topic of the indecisive (and unhappy) client.

In Episode 131 of The Legal Paige Podcast, I went solo to chat about growing a legal (and enticing) associate photography program. As a former photographer myself, I have a special place in my heart for all my camera-slingin’ friends who want to grow a sustainable business and IMO? Associates are a great place to start because they allow your business to be in multiple places at once WITHOUT adding more to your calendar.

Whether you are new to the entrepreneurship game or a seasoned vet, this episode is going to be extremely helpful in growing your associate program.

In Episode 129 of The Legal Paige Podcast, beauty biz strategist, Tiyana Robinson, uncovers the legal woes in the solopreneur beauty industry + draw upon her entrepreneurial expertise. (Spoiler alert: She is a treasure trove of amazing advice!)

I’m covering the questions that most small business owners have about CONTRACTS!
