Brand and web design are crucial elements for photographers looking to establish a strong online presence and showcase their unique style and artistic vision. A well-crafted brand identity sets the tone for your photography business, reflecting your personality, values, and the type of photography you specialize in. It encompasses your logo, color palette, typography, and overall visual style. By creating a cohesive brand, photographers can attract their ideal clients and differentiate themselves in a competitive industry.
When it comes to web design, photographers need a visually stunning and user-friendly website that serves as a captivating portfolio and a hub for their online presence. A thoughtfully designed website showcases your best work, allowing potential clients to explore your portfolio and get a glimpse of your artistic talents. It should also provide essential information such as your services, pricing, and contact details. Additionally, incorporating intuitive navigation, responsive design, and fast loading times ensures a seamless browsing experience across devices.
Overall, a well-executed brand and web design can elevate a photographer's professional image, leaving a lasting impression on visitors and turning them into loyal clients. By investing in these aspects, photographers can effectively communicate their unique style and build a reputable brand that resonates with their target audience.

While every photographer is unique, there are certain practices that may turn off both fellow photographers and clients. For instance, failing to display pricing on their website can be frustrating for potential clients who are seeking transparency. Additionally, cringe worthy reels or overly flashy portfolios might come across as unprofessional or lacking in artistic integrity. Meg and Lee believe you deserve a photographer who aligns with your taste and values. By considering these factors and finding a photographer who resonates with your style, you can ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience that captures the essence of your special moments.

Are you ready to cringe, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear? In this episode of Made to Last, we're sharing some of the most outrageous and unforgettable travel experiences sent in by our listeners. From missed flights to lost luggage, delayed trains to unexpected detours, we're exploring the worst of the worst when it comes to travel mishaps.
But that's not all - we've got stories that will make you question your sense of direction, like taking the wrong train in a foreign country and ending up in the middle of nowhere. Or what about the time someone decided to take a ferry boat in extremely rough waters, only to regret it moments later? And let's not forget about the dreaded plane sickness, which can turn even the most seasoned traveler into a nauseous mess.
So sit back, relax, and get ready for a wild ride as we delve into the world of horrible travel experiences. And if you've got a story of your own, be sure to share it with us - we love hearing from our listeners!

The Made to Last girls are joined by Meghan's younger sister, Shannon, to discuss trends that may have gone a little cheug. It's a fun time! Don't forget to leave a rating a review
What is "cheugy" you may ask?
Cheugy is an American neologism coined in 2013 as a pejorative description of lifestyle trends associated with the early 2010s and millennials. This aesthetic has been described as "the opposite of trendy" or "trying too hard". The term has been used positively by some who identify with the aesthetic.

Our Current Events/Monumental Moment: Andy's Jazz Club
The history of how Andy's Jazz Club came to be one of Chicago's best known & most respected jazz venues started in the 1950's as an oasis for the employees of the newspaper industry. "Andy's Lounge" was created. Serving shots, beer and pub grub to the ample waves of pressmen from the newspaper industry as the focus until mid 1970's when ownership of the venue changed hands to Scott Chisholm. A transition that kickstarted the lounge's transformation into Chicago's marquee Jazz hang.
Over the past 70 years, "Andy's" has watched the neighborhood expand and grow into the trendy hub it is today. While the "Jazz at Noon" is no longer offered..."Jazz at Five" & "Jazz at Nine" are still very much ALIVE! Andy's currently presents four 75-minute shows nightly with start times of 6pm, 8:15pm, 10:30pm. The musical lineup always featuring the top Chicago Jazz artists around. A truly unique to Chicago cultural experience nurtured by Scott Chisholm and continued on today by his sons Chris, Jeff & Brandon who run the venue nightly.
