Hello Friends!

Mel is flying solo today to give you a winter academy update.  We're going to talk about a bunch of courses that can help your photography now, help your business now, and some that are coming down the way.  Thanks for listening!

Courses mentioned in this episode:

Hey Friends!

This is a weird one.  Why?  Because we recorded this one FACE TO FACE...IN PERSON... TOGETHER...

It was so much fun.  Which brings us to the topic at hand: how important it is to have in-person creative get togethers.  When we get together with our fellow creatives, it fosters an energy we can harness to build and influence each other's art.  Talking the same language, offering new tips or tricks, or the ability to jump up and run with an idea, some things just have to be done in person.  So we did.  In Palm Springs.

But first, a harrowing story of trying to get out of and then back into some of the admin team's travel destinations.

Thanks for listening!

Hey Friends!

Happy New Year!

Can you believe it's 2022? We can.  Boy can we ever.  A lot of great announcements coming in the new year.  Things with the academy.  Things with our own businesses.  Things in person (fingers crossed).  So listen in to hear what's coming new and what to look forward to for 2022.

Plus, we really get serious with ways to look at all that luggage that you're carrying with you into the new year.  A new way to look at it.  And maybe a new way to start fresh.

Thanks for sticking with us for another year!

Happy Holidays Friends!

This is going to be our final episode for the holiday season.  Quick Break but then RIGHT BACK TO IT! After reflecting on this last year, we really want to thank everyone involved with the Hello Storyteller Podcast and The Academy and all of our followers.  Thank you so much!

In this episode episode, as we approach the new year, we want to talk about setting goals.  We share our own experiences and tips and tricks on what we do, how we do it, and the risks in taking that step.  Knowing you want to take that step is important.  But so is moving your foot.  So we offer suggestions on how to do that. (Spoiler Alert... Hello Storyteller was once a goal... and look where we are now!)

So thank you again.  Please take a moment and like the podcast, rate it, tell a friend, get involved on Instagram.  If you like the words that we're saying, someone else might too!

Thanks to our listeners.

Good Tidings to All!

No... that doesn't sounds right.

Hey Hey Hey.

It's the end of the year.  And though we aren't tax experts by any means, now is the perfect time to take advantage of holiday sales and any tax write-off capabilities they might offer you.  So we're talking about some of must haves and go to equipment for both in and out of the office.

Thanks friends!

Hey Friends!

In this episode, we get down to talking about a few of life's great teachings.  Or maybe the lesser teachings.  What's we've learned since owning a dog.  Giving agency to our children.  And how an a meal cost THAT much?!?!?! Oh... that's why.

And more! So tune in for some laughs (that definitely don't annoy our producer) on this week's Hello Storyteller.

Bye Friends!

Hey Friends!

The holidays are just around the corner.  No really.  Look at the date.  They're about to happen. But that's ok.  Because we've got you covered. In this episode we're going to talk holiday traditions, tips for getting those holiday shots, new equipment, and more! Plus, stay tuned for the whole episode because we're talking about Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials at the end. So check it out!

We also talk about interviewing our moms in previous episodes.  You can check those out here:

Thanks!

Hey Friends

So... after years of never saying it was going to happen, it did.  We got a dog.  Crazy right?

In this episode we talk about how we got there, our history with animals, our current animals, and the kids with animals.  We're taking a break from work and just... enjoying what it's like to be dog parents and cat room mates.  Sit back, relax, and get ready because we couldn't stop laughing.

Hey Friends!

As we roll into Fall and Winter, we want to take a moment and let you know some of the great offerings from the Hello Storyteller Academy that you can get right now to help with all your seasonal needs.  Things like getting that perfect food picture, photo flashes, and manual vs auto and several more.  Here's a list of the courses mention in this episode.

Don't forget that the Facebook HS Group is a wonderful resource and we love showcasing all our members.  Thanks!

Hey Friends!

Kid today, AMIRITE? The technology they're growing up with is outstanding.  But where do we draw the line?  And at what age? We want to go over a few different technology options that we use to help limit our children's exposure while also making sure they are safe and getting what they need for school.  Oh Yeah.  School.  SO MUCH SCREEN TIME! What do we do?  We talk about that too.

So settle in, parents. 

Thanks!
