Hi, hey, hello everyone - it's been a few weeks. Lots of things going on, and we will be dropping an episode to talk about all of the big changes soon - but before we do that, we want to introduce you all to Kate Birch, a good friend and huge supporter of us. Kate is an up and coming wedding and portrait photographer based out of Portland, OR. In this episode we talk about how she got started, her background and education, and the life of working full time in the corporate world while carrying a heavy wedding schedule. Kate gives us a glimpse into what she likes to shoot for fun to keep herself sane. She also tells us about her new home, and the cool surprise that is buried on her property, and how she has used that to her advantage as a creative photographer.

Kate is a goldmine of information and inspiration and this episode goes over a lot of cool topics. Jump in and enjoy the ride, and we will see you again soon!

We did it! We finally got to our soft opening event for New Wave Studio and it was an absolute BLAST. We had some of the most awesome creatives in the Portland area in our studio throughout the day, openly creating and collaborating. It was a dream come true and we are so, so happy with how it went. In this episode, we recap how the soft opening went, some of our favorite moments, and some news about what's coming up next. As always, thanks for joining us and thanks for your support - we couldn't do it without y'all!

In this episode, George and Alijah go over what it is like to leave a traditional schedule behind and live a life building a brand and photographing for a living. They go over how that effects their ability to make plans with people who work a traditional schedule, and the FOMO that can come along with that, as well as musing on what life will look like after the whirlwind of wedding season calms down, and how to keep momentum through the off season. They talk about a fun BTS video that was released on our YouTube channel this past week, and go over the plans for the week ahead. This is a good one y'all, enjoy!
