The podcast for female founders in the creative wedding industry. Your hosts, Deanna & Desiree are two California attorneys with a passion for empowering women to design the career that fits their life. Tune in weekly! (Education only, no legal advice given)
Putting yourself out there is always a scary thing. Putting yourself out there when you have kids and you're half of all of the income stream in your house is even harder. While many of us have done it, few have come out of a bad risk situation even stronger and better than they planned.
Today, we have the pleasure of learning from Clover and Bloom founder, Merri Haren. Merri came to us in a bad situation that was out of her control. She got tangled in a mess caused by an insecure photographer who failed to adhere to industry standards and pulled the wool over her eyes. Merri's attempt to branch out to the California market from Ohio by second shooting ended up costing her out of pocket, and a pro-longed legal battle that did nothing but sully the images as a result of the tainted experience.
Listen as we walk through the ordeal and how Merri has come out of this continuing to thrive and grow. Good gals do finish first!
Deanna and Desiree take a close look at their Q3 journey. They dive into a deep discussion about practical changes that small business owners can consider, including the specific adjustments that Desiree has guided Deanna to implement in her own business.

Deanna and Desiree get in the wayback machine and review recent sexual orientation discrimination cases through a law school approach. Because the law is still evolving in this area, and headlines are easier to understand than the case text, it's no wonder people misconstrue rulings based only on the overly broad lamen synopsis in the media.
This is definitely a tough topic to cover, but it's so important for people to understand the interplay between business rights and discrimination laws.

Deanna and Desiree talk about hobbies and close encounter before getting into common industry myths. Start at 11:15 to get straight to the business. Topics: Shoot on my cards? Intangibles=no sales tax? 50% retainers? Is it actually a retainer? FM?
Key takeaway: Don’t hide the ball—transparency is key. It saves time and headaches.
Clarification: Regarding sales taxes, during film times, the photographer would provide the customer with the film negatives, so there was demonstratively no intent to make future sales--they couldn't. Based on past experience, now tax investigators have reviewed online photo galleries with the ability to make sales and view this is as intent to make future sales, making the entire transaction taxable in CA. (Even if you are not using the sale feature in your platform.)
