022: Pretty is Not the Same as Powerful


Listen Later

I said what I said.

In this episode, I’m popping off about the epidemic I’m seeing all over our industry—and yeah, I’m calling it an epidemic: photographers hiding behind pretty, Pinterest-perfect work that’s missing the power, the soul, and the luxury they think they’re selling.

This one started as an Instagram Story rant. Then I realized: I had more to say. So I marched my sassy little self up to the studio, hit record, and let it rip. Because we’re not here to play small. We’re here to create work that stops people in their tracks. And your overexposed, beige-sweatered, blown-out edits? They’re not doing that.

⚡️ In this episode, I get into:

  • The very real difference between “light & airy” and “blown out & bland”
  • Why consistency ≠ luxury
  • How I helped a mastermind client triple her perceived value—in 30 minutes
  • The truth about why your $300 images will never attract a $3,000 client
  • What most photographers are getting very wrong about Instagram grids
  • Why hiding behind pretty is keeping you stuck—and what to do instead
  • If you’ve been feeling the nudge to go bolder, take risks, and finally create the kind of art your dream clients will pay top dollar for… this is your permission slip. Also? Bring back your shadows, babe. Please.
