What does it take to build a standout personal brand in the world of wedding photography?

In this episode, I chat with wedding photographer Rebecca Carpenter, who shares her journey of turning criticism into fuel, embracing her vibrant personality, and finding balance in her business. 

Rebecca opens up about how burnout reshaped her approach, the power of being "too much," and why failure isn’t always a setback but sometimes protection in disguise. This episode is packed with insights for anyone building a business or simply trying to show up more authentically.

We chat about:

- How Rebecca used Instagram stories and reels to grow her following to over 25k, build her personal brand and ultimately create a thriving business -  How Rebecca built her personal brand by showing up authentically online.

- Why burnout became a turning point in her business

- How she turned her ‘too muchness’ into her superpower in her business 

- The unexpected lessons that come from failure, and why it’s not always a bad thing. And lots more!
