060: Deborah Young Studio - Meet the Owner and Photographer Deborah Young

In this episode, we’re really pleased to be featuring a conversation with Deborah Young, owner of The Deborah Young Studio in Cornelius. Deborah is a professional photographer that has been in the photography industry for over 40 years. Many of our listeners already know Deborah - she’s been creating your family portraits, wedding photos, and headshots here in Cornelius for nearly 30 of those years. 

Deborah joins me to share the story of her entrepreneurial journey, from the days of being a photographer’s assistant and office manager, to opening her own studio in downtown Cornelius. She shares the story of how she finally and reluctantly made the transition from conventional film to digital photography - something that may have required a bit of divine intervention. She shares the joys of watching her clients and their families grow up, offers up a few of her favorite places in the Lake Norman area for outdoor photo shoots, and even shares some sage advice for anyone who aspires to be a professional photographer.

It’s a very photogenic episode 60 of Lake Norman’s #1 small business podcast. Thanks for joining us my friends, enjoy the episode.
