Ryan Erickson of www.fetchphototruck.com is a mobile, come-to-you dog photographer in Denver, Colorado, USA. His mobile pet photography studio was custom-built on a towable trailer where he shoots and does same-day in-person-sales sessions for his dog owner clients.
I'm always looking for terrific guests to feature on the podcast, and I love receiving a recommendation like this one from Pet Photographer and business coach Alex Cearns.
In her email, she says:
Hey Andrew
I have a podcast guest to recommend; he runs Fetch Photo Truck in Denver, Colorado.
He was previously a wedding photographer who wanted to move into pet photography and work for himself.
His truck is a custom trailer that looks incredible inside (and out!).
He hit six figures working solo and is a heck of a nice guy!
Alex.
I went and did some searching and can confirm… his photography is fantastic. The trailer looks terrific, and his clients love him!
In this interview, Ryan shares the ins and out, good and bad of Fetch Photo Truck, the mobile pet photography business.
