Mycah Bain discusses her journey of building a successful photography business and the importance of team management and outsourcing.

If you've ever wondered what it would take to build a photography business that keeps growing without you photographing every session, this episode is for you. Mycah Bain has spent the past 15 years building a studio that's now generating around $340,000 a year across weddings, branding and portrait photography, supported by a team of photographers and virtual assistants. In this interview, Mycah shares how she made the transition from solo photographer to business owner, the systems she's put in place to keep clients happy while her team does the shooting, how she hires and manages photographers and VAs, and why letting go of control has been the key to creating more freedom. We also dive into money mindset, leadership, outsourcing, client experience, building a premium brand, and the practical lessons she's learned while growing a business that's on track for the million-dollar mark.
