Hey friend! Maybe you feel like you're drowning during busy season, but I'm hoping this episode will remind you things could always be worse... You could be fooled into spending thousands of dollars for a cute lil ego boost that's disguised as marketing. This is an embarrassing one, but I'm hoping you'll learn from my mistake and learn to value your business first.

Hello friend! We're on our 10th episode!!!!! It's a good one today, and very special to my heart. Do you ever feel alone and wish you had photographer besties like it seems like everyone else on social media has found? Do you find yourself on the outside, never really feeling like you fit in? On today's episode I'm getting personal and talking about WHY community is so important to me and how I've been able to find my own community and photography besties (and how YOU CAN TOO!)

Hey friend! If you're a mom AND own a photography business, chances are you're feeling pretty dang frustrated with Instagram and the ever-changing algorithm. What if I told you you don't have to bend over backwards and join in on the reels game if you don't have to, and STILL get plenty of business other ways??
I still get way more clients through other avenues outside of social media, and if you're wondering how to break up with Instagram so you can have more time to actually enjoy your family and business, this episode is for you!
