225: In-Person vs. Online Education Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Today we're breaking down the difference between in-person education (think: conferences, workshops, educational meet-ups, etc.) VS. online education (think online courses, virtual membership groups, etc.)

Whenever it comes a time in your business where you know you need to invest in your business through education, a question that typically comes up is what should I do first? Or even in this season? Should I take an online course? Should I join an online membership? Or should I look for in-person events like workshops or conferences?

Today we're diving into the differences between in-person vs. online education, the pros and cons of both, and which YOU should focus on and consider depending on where you are in your business!

223: What's in Our Gear Bags Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Calling all my photographers out there!! This episode is about to be a little nugget of fun, short and sweet insight into our gear bags. If you're in a season of growing your gear list, you're wanting to know what lenses and all that jazz we use, OR you're just curious about what kind of gear goes into shooting professional photography this episode is for you!

Before we go any further, though, I wanted to take a moment to discuss what you NEED as a photographer. The reality is, friend, you don't have to have ALL THE GEAR UNDER THE SUN. And you especially don't have to have it when you first start out.

We're are about to break down a bunch of gear that we have and use but please keep in mind that we've been accumulating this for YEARS. We remember what it feels like to see all these photographers using these fancy schmancy (and expensive as HECK) lenses or pieces of gear, and it's easy to feel like "ugh, well I'll never succeed until I get all of that!". You do NOT need all the fanciest, newest, nicest gear in the world. In fact, sometimes the simpler the better! We both use one specific lens 80% of the time we're shooting. You don't need a million pieces of the newest, nicest equipment in order to be a dang good photographer.
