I welcome my longtime friend Melina Coogan for a discussion about how Covid has impacted her life as a mother and her career as a photographer! Note: This episode was recorded on Friday and even from then, the world and what we're all talking about has changed drastically since then, we're having a conversation about our privilege and putting our voices and resources to good use and it already feels out of date. You can check out Lina’s work at Wild And Bright Photography and support her work and get helpful photography tips by subscribing to her Patreon!
