Kick Ass Photographers: The Podcast

I tell the story about a huge wardrobe malfunction I had right before a wedding last weekend, as well as chatting about why imperfect and pretty downright crappy content is better than being slick on social media.

Plus, how a massage therapist accidentally taught me about the scarcity mindset in marketing.

Then I share a top tip at the end about not getting your emails sent to spam when you get enquiries!

This week I chat about:

The Google Business Profile drama happening in the wedding photography industry this week

A hot Insta tip from our latest workshop, plus a fab Instagram insight from one of my couples

A couple of fun tips to take to your next wedding: how to make the group shot, cake cutting and reception entry photos way more exciting for you and everyone else!

I'm back BABY! I've missed podcasting, and this was so much fun.

It's been a while! I'm now doing the podcast solo, but will go into all the details in this episode...

I also chat about working solo and telling my couples about my break up, my house moving drama, plus a hot SEO tip about the future of SEO and what you need to do about it (hint: keywords can do one!). I also share my Premier Inn hack, how I deal with rainy weddings, and how I dealt with being asked a tricky question during a client Zoom.

I'm planning to record a new episode every week for you to listen to on your way to weddings or while you're culling and editing to keep you company.
