The truth is that even when you’re showing your best and favorite work, you may get hired by people who you don’t vibe with. They might have homes that are not your "aesthetic" or are "boring" or "tough." So what happens then? How do you...2024-08-1913 min

Photo Fuel | Family Photography EducationNewsletters : What I learned from One Year of The Firefly LettersIt’s pretty well understood that newsletters are a great form of marketing - anyone who’s had success with it will tell you that it is, but until you find your voice and your magic sauce with creating one, you’re likely to feel some dread around starting one, writing consistent emails, and generally feel a lot of resistance. Like many things in business marketing, it can bring thoughts of “am I being annoying?” or “is anyone even reading this?” or “what’s the point.” So if you’ve felt like this around newsletters at any point, this episode is for you. 2024-07-0824 minLife in Full Frame - Family Photography EducationEp 9: Understanding Your Creative Purpose -a conversation with Leah O'ConnellAs photographers, it's so easy - too easy - to be clones of one another.

And it's ok to be influenced by this, but we also have to mesh this influence with who we are as artists in order to create something unique!
When I was a guest on Leah O'Connell's podcast, Photo Fuel, this is one of the topics we dove into, and I'm sharing that conversation today on my podcast!
