    5 Reasons Photographers Pay Too Much in Taxes
    This podcast was full of helpful information for a photographer dealing with their bookkeeping and tax stuff. Andrew breaks down complicated info into easy ways to understand how to deal with things like sales tax, for example.
  • MNunez0206
    love love love
    This podcast is great! Allie you are a great host! thank you for all that you do. I have learned so much from you.
  • Gypsysoullove
    My favorite photography podcast
    I constantly listen to podcasts to help my business grow. This is by far my favorite and most helpful one though! There are no general statements that I need to figure out how to apply to my specific business; instead there are facts and different perspectives on how I might make an educated decision on what’s best for me and, specifically, my photography business. Allie is the best!!
  • Katie Bosler
    Listening, Loving & Learning
    Allie, you’ve completely transformed my attitude and business model with this podcast. I started listening about 5 months ago and I’m obsessed! Thank you for doing these podcasts and I love hearing from the other photogs too. My latest IG post caption was inspired by Cyrissa C. and I’ve been doing about 2-3 blog posts a month! I’m also going to be finding backup storage because having it all in one place isn’t enough. And you’re so right, client experience is so much of the business. THANK YOU! 💕 somehow every episode I’ve listened to has been the exact time I needed to hear something on that subject. I look forward to listening to more!
  • B murda v1
    Short, sweet and full of value
    I discovered this podcast ultimately through swift galleries and loved how Allie was using Instagram. Organically found out about the podcast and I love it because she isn’t taking about the same exact things that all the other photography podcasts are. Her topics are original. She give information that is easy to implement and understand. Plus her episodes are short which helps me not have to commit an hour or more of my time to listening which is great when I have two jobs, two kids, a husband and a dog to give my attention to.
  • The flashbulb
    Great inspiration for photographers!
    I love listening to Allie’s podcast for new ideas and inspiration. She really makes me want to level up all aspects of my photography business.
  • AndreadeAnda

  • Amyqqqq

  • StrahanMayhem
    Serious photography podcast
    I love Allie’s style of sharing and teaching. I truly appreciate that there isn’t any fluff or superfluous talk. She gets down to business and all of her topics are spot on. She shares from her wide range of experiences and her guests always have relevant wisdom and advice. A great podcast for serious photographers and learners.
  • Blaklumet
    I’m Loving This!
    I’m so happy I found Photo Field Notes. Listening while I’m editing in Lightroom. But what’s really made me fall in love, is that Allie shared how she put her daughters’ needs above hers and her listening audience. Huge respect points...BIG! She knows what’s truly important, and I love her for this. And she knows photography as well. I trust Allie through and through.
  • Lisidy
    Energizing Ideas
    I'm so grateful I stumbled on Allie's podcast. The ideas Allie and her guest share energize me to try new things in my business.
  • Russellmjohnston
    Wonderful resource!
    A great podcast for any professional photographer whether you are new to the business or just looking to refresh what you do.
  • Rivkah_Leah
    Looooove this show!
    I have listened and looked for different photography biz related podcasts before and this is one of he only ones that I just keep listening to any episode available! Allie is a great hostess, asks great questions and provides simple yet practical ideas for new photography business owners. Thank you!
  • Emily Costopoulos
    Just goodness.
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple months and it’s become one of my favorites. Allie has such amazing advice, she shares all her secrets, and it’s a unique perspective to a lot of other free education out there. Photo field notes is just gold.
  • Instauser82
    Like having a free mentor!
    This podcast is such a gift! I recently launched a family photography business (rachelsimaphotography.com) and wish I could hire a business mentor or coach. Alas, it’s not in the financial cards right now. However this podcast is the next best thing! So thankful for all this super practical, easy to implement advice! More episodes please!
  • Megan - Megan Sheppard Photo
    Best of its kind!
    I recently found Photo Field Notes back in 2017. Boy, did I get sucked in. I’m pretty sure I listened to 20 episodes in one sitting during an editing marathon. Allie is so incredibly informative and doesn’t hide any secrets. So many times I feel like you get pulled into free resources that promise you knowledge and leave you with nothing and ask to get paid in the end. This podcast is totally different. She lays it all out exactly how she feels or does things and you leave with a clear direction and action plan. So thankful for this podcast and all of Allie’s generous knowledge!!!
  • Optimus Prune
    One of my favorites
    Love this podcast. The advice is excellent and has helped me feel more confident when working with clients. I also appreciate the honesty and candidness of her guests. I’ve often felt like I’m alone in my areas of struggle, so it’s nice to hear successful photographers have experienced the same issues!
  • cbyates
    Such great, HONEST advice
    Allie knows her stuff! She's running a BUSINESS and she shares how she does it profitably. I'm always eager to hear her ideas and implement them into my business. She cares about seeing others succeed and is excited to share her knowledge. Thank you Allie!!
  • Raymond Hatfield - BPP
    What are you waiting for?!
    Allies podcast is one of my favorites! It’s full of gold nuggets on how she runs a successful photography business. I recently had Allie on my podcast and she was an open book you could see how excited she is to help other photographers! You’ll love it!
  • Lizaloo2006
    Excellent!
    Allie makes running a successful photography business look accessible. She breaks topics down into manageable steps and gives actionable advice that I can put into practice in my own business immediately. I love the conversational style of her podcast, and her relaxed, friendly voice-- this podcast is an excellent companion for me to learn and grow my business while driving or working on household tasks. Thanks Allie!
  • Nina303co
    Useful & Inspirational Photography Advice
    I love how Ally gives specific advice and action steps rather than just talking about overarching themes and ideas and leaving the listener to figure out the rest like many podcasts I've stopped listening to. She shares openly about what's worked in her own business and why, and most of my favorite episodes are the ones with just Ally talking about her own experience.
  • Leah - Firefly Photography
    Great info, guests, stories, and packed with value!
    I've been looking for a photography podcast that wasn't full of fluff and could not be more excited that I stumbled upon this one! Allie's interviews are detailed and ask pertinent, valuable questions that really cut to the chase and dig deep into her guests' journey. I have pulled so many take-aways and insight from each episode and it's changing my business approach daily. I am on a bindge of Photo Field Notes -- dog walks, at the gym, road trips, whenever! I am so grateful for this content and am a newfound Allie Siarto fangirl! :-)
