#14: In this episode of VDEOMKR, Carly sits down with Boston-based brand photographer Brit Perkins — and it's the kind of conversation you don't want to end. Brit shares her story of how she went from learning on a borrowed DSLR after having her first baby, to building a thriving brand photography business that's been featured in People, Vogue, and Boston Magazine.

They get into the messy, beautiful pivot from weddings to brand work (thanks, Covid), why Brit chose to stay a solo operator instead of building a team, and how a folder of boring back-end systems actually set her business free. This one is packed with gold for any creative who's great behind the camera but still figuring out the business side.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• How Brit got her start learning photography on a borrowed DSLR to send photos to her deployed husband
• The accidental brand pivot that happened during Covid — and why it felt like a full-body yes
• Why she stepped away from weddings at the height of her wedding business
• The operation tools that changed everything (hint: it's not glamorous)
• How she qualifies brand clients and spots the ones who "aren't ready yet"
• Navigating image rights, client education, and what she does when her work gets stolen (spoiler: she doesn't chase it)
• What she thinks AI means for the future of photography
• Her take on social media as a tool for inspiration, not comparison
• The accountability structure she uses — masterminds, coaches, and investing in a course every single year
• Her evergreen advice for future MKRS: put your blinders on

This episode is for MKRS that want to build a creative career they actually LOVE.
