Photo Fuel | Family Photography Education

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
