Today's guest is Emily Phillips of Emily Kaye Floral Atelier and she is a deep thinker, wise mother and calming presence. I loved our conversation about the surprising location she began floral design, the logistics of destination work, and how motherhood has changed her as a business owner. We talked a lot about not letting fear drive your decisions and the temptation to make our businesses idols. If you ever struggle with fear of how something in your personal life (like starting a family) would affect your business, we talk about it in this episode.

Season 6 is here and we are kicking things off with an amazing conversation about the Holy Spirit with wedding photographer and educator Lisa Vigliotta. Lisa and I chat about the ways social media and covid have changed the wedding industry and publications, having the freedom to fail, and the importance of obedience in the face of fear. Lisa also shares some mind-blowing stories of what happens when we pay attention to the promptings of the Holy Spirit - both at a wedding and in everyday life. I know y'all are going to love this episode as much as I did so get ready to take some notes!

As soon as we recorded this episode, I knew it was meant to go live the week of Mother's Day. Wedding Planner Adrienne Rolon of Hearts Content Events shares how the loss of her mom changed the trajectory of her career, how motherhood changes boundaries in your business and how we both are teaching our kids "how to be a person." Adrienne and I discuss how a client's story informs their wedding design, and the powerful thing that happened during a covid-era wedding that impacted her for years. Adrienne is passionate about sharing God's love through serving clients in the wedding planning process and we even chat about Jesus planning the final wedding in heaven! This is a good one friends, full of encouragement and wisdom.

Today's guest is Jacob Towe, co-owner and lighting designer of Jacob Co Creative. Jacob and I chat about what originally got him into lighting design, what he wished photographers knew when documenting a space he's designed, and why sustainability is so important to his business. We also chat about family - from working with your spouse to how your parenting and business changes as your kids get older.  We wrap up chatting about the theology of light - how Christians are called to be light in dark places and what that looks like in the wedding industry. I really was inspired by the big picture of what Jacob wants for his business and our industry and I know you will be too!

Today's episode is with wedding photographer and coach Dilshad Yogi-Smith! We chat about her journey from a corporate career to becoming an entrepreneur and how she is using that journey to help others. Dilshad shares about growing up in a missionary family and the surprising way it affected her career choice, working with her husband and the must have (non-camera) items she brings in a wedding day. She and I also discuss having faith during the dreaded "engagement gap" and slow down in bookings within the wedding industry (and why we simply need to read our Bibles).  I think you will love hearing her heart behind why she started coaching and her passion for serving her clients.

What better way to kick off the first week of spring than an episode with a floral designer! Today's guest Elise Keyser is owner of Selah Floral Co in North Carolina. We chat about everything from dealing with failure, setting boundaries, and one thing she wished photographers did differently when photographing florals. Elise also shares about how serving our clients well not only honors them but also honors the Lord. We chat about struggling with comparison and the surprising thing Gen Z does better than millennials. I think you'll love listening to our discussion about flowers, business, and faith. Happy Spring friends!

I have had the pleasure of working with today's guest at a wedding, which always makes an interview extra fun! Stephen Popadich is a live wedding painter, as well as a pastor and officiant here in Charleston, SC. We chat about managing client expectations, the balance of being both an artist and business owner, and why a wedding painting should look different than an exact replica of a photograph. Stephen and I also discuss the larger picture of how art and artists fit into church, what role the Holy Spirit plays in creativity, and praying for our clients. We wrap up with a super simple way to share the gospel (without being weird) - if you aren't a natural at evangelism (like me), you'll love the easy way he breaks it down. Stephen is our first ever wedding painter on the podcast (and first officiant too!), and I think you will love hearing from him today.
