Working with Your Spouse & Owning a Business as a Parent

title card on a blue background with photos of Christi & Katie - title text says "Working with your spouse & owning a business as. aparent"

Katie Jaynes from Katie Jaynes Photography shares with me how community helped her grow her business. What started out as being the friend who photographed all the special occasions turned into a successful Wedding & Portrait Photography business serving Anderson and the Upstate that’s 8+ years strong. Katie also shares what it’s like working with her husband, Mitchel, and how they manage their work now as new parents. It’s a great story that any business owner with kids could relate to. You are not alone!

This episode was original published on the Rising Tide Greenville Podcast.
