Don't Take This Personally

We were SO excited to be joined by Noelle Johnson on this weeks episode! If you're a wedding photographer, you probably have heard of her or the Alpine Workshops she started. We talk to her all about the origin of the workshops and all the twists and turns her career has made, while also overcoming so much personal tragedy. Courage, bravery, grace, and perseverance are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Noelle Johnson, and we are so grateful for everything she shared. She has recently relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her music career (literally 10 days before our chat!), and it was so fun hearing everything she has going on. This was such an incredible conversation, THANK YOU NOELLE!

Stephanie Fisher AKA From The Daisies joins us on the podcast today for an incredible conversation! We recommend pulling her Instagram feed up so you can see how unique and rad her work is while she talks to us about it. We covered balancing parenthood with busy work-lives and creating routines, finding inspiration, how to give less f*cks, making clients feel comfy and getting them comfy with being a little uncomfy, her viral post that got taken off IG multiple times... and so so so much more.
