🎙️ Episode 14 is LIVE — Is Going Faceless Right for You?

The “going faceless” trend is everywhere right now — and photographers are feeling the pressure to pick a side.

In this episode of Love & Hustle, Brittany is joined by her best friend in the industry, Leigh Rips of Fresh Light Photography (Houston, TX), to unpack what this trend really means — especially for portrait photographers whose work is built on connection.

We fully respect parental privacy decisions. We already honor private image requests in our studios.

But when “faceless” becomes a blanket business policy, it affects more than just Instagram.

It changes:
• How you shoot
• What clients buy
• What your website looks like
• And how future clients decide to hire you

This conversation applies whether you’re:
• A portrait photographer
• A wedding or lifestyle photographer watching the trend spread
• A parent navigating privacy decisions
• Or a business owner trying to avoid reactive decisions you can’t easily walk back

In this episode, we talk about:
✨ What “going faceless” actually looks like (and why it’s trending hard right now)
✨ Why it’s easier in wedding + lifestyle content than portrait work
✨ How faceless policies shift session flow and gallery outcomes
✨ The “five shots that sell” — and why faces convert
✨ What happens to your marketing when faces disappear everywhere
✨ Why big announcements can unintentionally “parent” your audience
✨ A possible middle ground: opt-in vs opt-out sharing
✨ The long-term business impact most people aren’t considering
