In this fun and honest episode, Annette and Christina sit down with Canadian photographer Tammy Lipsett to talk about the realities of running a photography business solo. Tammy, who specializes in volume sports photography just outside Calgary, Alberta, shares how her journey started with a Twitter push and turned into a thriving business covering sports, dance, and more.

They dive into the challenges of scaling without a full-time team, how Tammy hires seasonally (including her own kids!), and the importance of knowing your strengths and outsourcing your weaknesses. She also shares insights into her favorite tech tools—like Evoto and Captura—that have helped streamline her workflow and cut editing time dramatically.

The episode is packed with laughs, including stories of emotional support crickets, Muppet hats that scare small children, and Tammy’s “Santa Claus-like” multitasking skills. It also touches on deeper topics like setting boundaries, avoiding burnout, dealing with competition, and redefining what success looks like for you.

Tammy proves you can build a successful business without a flashy website or a big team—just authenticity, efficiency, great customer service, and a sense of humor.
