Description

039 - In 2018, Brazilian-born pet photographer Natália Brochini was preparing to start her business when she was beset by health problems. Fast-forward to her recovery the following year, when the opportunity arose to travel abroad for seven months. When Natália landed back home in Houston this March, she was finally ready to get her photography business up and running. And then...COVID.  

In this episode, I chat with Natália about her skill-building travel project, the about-to-launch jitters that every new photographer faces, and how to book those nerve-wracking first few clients.    

What To Listen For: 

• How to improve your technical skills, if you don't have a dog to practice with 
• One essential tip for improving your confidence going into a shoot
• Ideas for planning (and using) a "shot list" for each session
