Managing money as a photographer can be challenging, especially if you do weddings which is very seasonal.

That's why I brought Carrie Smith on the show today.

Carrie is a financial coach, writer, and the founder of Careful Cents. After paying off all her debts in 2012, she quit her full-time accounting job a year later to pursue entrepreneurship and blogging. Her advice has been featured on The Huffington Post, Glamour magazine, Lifehacker, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, and many more.
