Catrina Maxwell from Cat Max Photography is joining me on the podcast today to talk all about how to create a successful brand and lifestyle photo shoot. Cat and I recently worked together to create my new photos and her process was top-notch. I loved crafting the story lines, then taking the pictures to tell the story. Listen in as Cat shares her journey in photography and how we can take photos that allow us to make human connections.
