Show notes

On today’s episode I chat with photographer and educator, Jennifer Moher, all about the art of storytelling, and the many ways that we personally can uncover our inner storyteller to most effectively and creatively tell the stories of our clients’ lives in our own unique way.

Jennifer is one of my favorite influences and thought-leaders when it comes to storytelling, so I have no doubt you are going to love what she shares in this episode, and you might never view storytelling the same afterwards.

099: Anxiety, Mental Health, and My Story Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

Today, I’m taking the podcast personal.

I know mental health is a big topic of many people’s lives today, and I wanted to share my story with mental health, specifically the time in my life where I dealt with chronic anxiety.

I won’t say everything right, I’m not a doctor, I’m just here to tell my story, so if you’re willing to stick around for that, keep on listening.

Show notes

Today I chat with two students from my six figure Coaching Program, Simon and Faith Loftus, a husband and wife photo/video duo based out of Greenville, SC, on how they took their pricing for their wedding packages, and started booking packages at triple the amount of their original packages, after just two short months of being in the program.

They have an INCREDIBLY inspiring story that so many photographers can relate to, and the amount of wisdom and tips they share in this episode is next-level if you’re looking to do something similar to them.

Now, let me shut up with this intro and let Simon and Faith take it away!

094: THIS Is Holding You Back In Photography Business… (TOUGH LOVE) Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode, I break down the four most common MAJOR mistakes that you might be making, that I see photographers making all the time, that WILL hold you back in your photography business if you don’t fix the one or all of them that might be your issue.

It’s a tough love kind of episode, but that’s because I’m here to fight for your goals and dreams with you, and I’d rather tell you what you need to hear than what you want to hear.

And also because this is the episode I needed to hear years ago.

Deal? Let’s dive into the episode!
