It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of running a photography business: schedule, shoot, edit, repeat. But most of us–myself included–didn’t start our businesses to hustle constantly. The key to avoiding the constant hustle and eventual burnout is creating systems that allow you to work less, live more, and spend your time doing what you love.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Katie Lamb, family photographer, mother of three, and mentor for passionate photographers. She’s sharing her tips for developing and sticking to your own style instead of getting caught up in the trends. Plus, she’s explaining how she’s used automation and intentional scheduling to create a business that she owns, not one that owns her.
