Connecting with clients by owning your story with Mary Catherine Wickman

Listen Later

When DC photographer Mary Catherine Wickman posted on instagram about her fears around being 35 and a family photographer without kids, her followers rallied around her in support, encouragement, and their own stories of relatability. In this episode, we talk about that caption - why she shared it, what happened, and what she (and all of us) can learn from it.

We also touch on: 

  • The way our vulnerability helps us connect in deeper ways with out clients and other photographers
  • The “age ceiling” in family photography and how we’re finding it’s a complete myth
  • The sacrifices of going from part time to full time
  • What it’s like to look around at what you’ve built and say ‘this is good.’
  • The value in participating in non-photography-related creative mediums
