  • 024: Hard Truths: If I Wasn’t Afraid of Hurting Your Feelings

    This one? Oooop. It’s gonna sting.

    Because these five truth bombs?

    They’re not just for you—they’re for me too.

    In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s really keeping us stuck in our businesses—and it’s not our talent, our market, or our gear.

    It’s our habits. Our fears. Our overthinking.

    And in my case… it’s also me sitting at my desk, obsessing over slides for the Mastermind instead of doing other work that actually moves the needle.

    Did I include an actual voice note that I sent to my team with all of my mental blocks on full display for you?  Of course I did, and I’m playing it for you in this episode. Because I could literally hear myself, mid-sentence, blocking my own growth in real time.

    And I want you to hear it too. Because sometimes the most powerful mirror is someone else’s spiral.

    We’re talking:

    • Avoidance that looks like productivity
    • “Booked and busy” energy that’s really just busyness and burnout
    • Undercharging, under-showing-up, and hiding in plain sight
    • And the brutal truth about why “balance” might just be your most expensive excuse
    • This episode is for the photographer who knows what to do… and still isn’t doing it.

      It’s for the business owner who’s scared to be seen.

      And it’s for me, on the days when I choose slide design over strategy.

      Let’s call ourselves out—lovingly, but directly.

    • 023: The $3K Mistake That Blew Up My Backend

      Okay Posers… I’m telling on myself in this one.

      This episode is all about a mistake I made in my business that cost me over $3,000 (plus hours of my time and the loss of a really great assistant). And the worst part? I thought I was being smart. Efficient. Resourceful.

      Spoiler: I wasn’t. I was being comfortable.

      In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I tried to shortcut my way into social media strategy by expanding my assistant’s role instead of hiring a real pro... and what that mistake taught me about leadership, boundaries, and the danger of choosing ease over clarity.

      We’re also diving into the 5 Things Photographers Have No Business Doing In Their Business:

      • Editing (I don’t care how attached you are)
      • Bookkeeping + taxes (unless you want to fight the IRS)
      • Album design (you are not the only one who's good at this)
      • Print sales (aka PASSive income… see what I did there?)
      • Social media (because “posting pretty” ≠ strategy)
      • PLUS: I’m breaking down exactly how I bring in thousands in print sales each year with zero effort by handing off the marketing, customer service, fulfillment, and even abandoned carts.

        If you’ve ever wondered how to set up your print shop the right way, you can literally just have mine.

        This one is personal. It’s raw. And it’s here to remind you that spending money you don’t feel “ready” to spend… might be the exact decision that you need to make to move forward.

      • 022: Pretty is Not the Same as Powerful

        I said what I said.

        In this episode, I’m popping off about the epidemic I’m seeing all over our industry—and yeah, I’m calling it an epidemic: photographers hiding behind pretty, Pinterest-perfect work that’s missing the power, the soul, and the luxury they think they’re selling.

        This one started as an Instagram Story rant. Then I realized: I had more to say. So I marched my sassy little self up to the studio, hit record, and let it rip. Because we’re not here to play small. We’re here to create work that stops people in their tracks. And your overexposed, beige-sweatered, blown-out edits? They’re not doing that.

        ⚡️ In this episode, I get into:

        • The very real difference between “light & airy” and “blown out & bland”
        • Why consistency ≠ luxury
        • How I helped a mastermind client triple her perceived value—in 30 minutes
        • The truth about why your $300 images will never attract a $3,000 client
        • What most photographers are getting very wrong about Instagram grids
        • Why hiding behind pretty is keeping you stuck—and what to do instead
        • If you’ve been feeling the nudge to go bolder, take risks, and finally create the kind of art your dream clients will pay top dollar for… this is your permission slip. Also? Bring back your shadows, babe. Please.

        • 021: How to Remember Poses During a Photoshoot

          The crash out that you and Huda from Love Island have in common.

          Let’s talk about that dreaded moment: you’re mid-shoot, the light is perfect, your clients are waiting, and your brain? Completely blank.

          Yep—been there. More than once.

          In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why this happens, and it’s not because you’re unprepared or unprofessional. It’s your nervous system doing its job—protecting you under pressure. But here’s the good news: you can rewire that response.

          I’m walking you through the brain science behind going blank during a session, how “amygdala hijack” shows up behind the camera, and what to do when your prefrontal cortex decides to peace out just when you need it most.

          Plus, I’m sharing how my method trains you to regulate yourself and your clients before posing even begins—so that the shoot flows, your confidence stays intact, and your clients leave obsessed with both their photos and the experience.

          We’re talking:

          • How your stress hormones hijack creativity
          • Why shot lists fail you mid-shoot
          • The psychology of posing that actually works
          • My favorite client story from a student who went from panicked to powerful
          • And yes, a full Love Island breakdown because… obviously
          • 👀BONUS TRAINING: Want the 3-sentence formula that regulates your clients and makes awkwardness disappear like a bombshell at recoupling?

          • 020: Greenlit, Not Ghosted

            Real examples, real psychology, real results

            Inquiries are coming in, but no one’s booking—and the inbox is starting to feel haunted. Sound familiar?

            In this episode, I break down exactly how to stop getting ghosted and start booking high-ticket sessions through strategic, psychology-backed email responses. I’ll walk through a real inquiry that turned into a confirmed booking—no sales call required—and explain the psychology behind every word I wrote.

            I also share a DM from a fellow photographer who implemented last week’s strategy and saw immediate results, proving this approach works beyond my own business.

            Inside this episode:

            📩A real inquiry breakdown that converted into a multi-thousand-dollar booking

            💌A DM from a photographer who got a same-day response using this method

            🧠The loss aversion bias and why “don’t miss out” is stronger than “look what I offer”

            🎯Price anchoring psychology and how to frame your numbers like a pro

            📅The color-coded calendar trick that uses visual decision-making to drive action

            🔑Strategic word choices that stack urgency, scarcity, and micro-commitments

            💼Plus: how to signal authority without sounding salesy

            Whether you’re responding to one-off inquiries or tightening your communication process across the board, this episode is packed with tangible takeaways that can raise your booking rate and your client confidence overnight.

          • 019: The 3-Sentence Email Hack :: Stop Getting Ghosted

            What if I told you the reason you’re getting ghosted isn’t your pricing—it’s your paragraphs?

            In this episode, I’m breaking down the psychology behind why your beautifully written, overly detailed reply is overwhelming potential clients and shutting down the sale before it ever starts.

            This week, I made a rookie mistake that led to my first ghosting in years. And the second I opened the email I had sent… it was obvious. I skipped the psychology, flooded the inbox, and forgot to build the most important thing: connection.

            Inside, I’ll walk you through:

            • The psychology of the mental transaction (and how to trigger micro-conversions with one small ask)
            • How to write short, strategic emails that feel personal—not pushy
            • Why sending your pricing too early kills the conversation
            • Discovery calls vs email conversions—and what I’m currently testing in my own business
            • How to normalize a high-ticket offer before you even mention the price
            • You’ll also hear the exact 3-sentence email I now use to spark replies, establish authority, and create emotional engagement—without sounding salesy or desperate.

              Hit play and learn how to make them write back—without begging, discounting, or following up five times.

            • 018: This Broke My Marriage & I’m Not Sorry

              I’m unpacking why the traditional idea of work/life balance doesn’t work—especially for women building something from scratch. And how I’ve learned to let go of the guilt when my ambition speaks louder than motherhood does.

              In This Episode:
              🔥 The real cost of following advice from people in totally different seasons
              🔥 How building my business kept me sane through divorce and early motherhood
              🔥 Why I don’t see my kids as competition with my ambition—they’re shaped by it
              🔥 What it’s looked like for me to choose myself and my business… sometimes over my family
              🔥 Why I think it’s less about balance and more about knowing yourself, obsessing over each part of you that you love… and just calling that life

            • 017: The 3-Step Formula to Becoming Your Own PR Team

              If you’re waiting for someone to notice your work, hype up your talent, or magically make your bookings roll in… let me stop you right there.

              No one is coming.

              In this episode of The Posers Podcast, I’m breaking down the 3-step formula to becoming your own PR team—because if you’re not doing the visibility work for your business, no one else is going to.

              I’ll walk you through the kind of PR engine that I knew that I had to build for my 40 Over 40 Photography Experience—a totally new offer that required a way louder, more strategic launch than just “posting pretty photos.” And spoiler alert? This is exactly why most photographers stay stuck and underbooked.

              We’re not whispering our wins anymore.

              We’re turning quiet qualifications into loud demand.

              In this episode, you’ll learn:

              • Why pretty work doesn’t sell itself (and what actually does)
              • The biggest myth about established photographers and “easy bookings”
              • The #1 mistake photographers make with reposts and missed momentum
              • How to “brag better” without sounding full of yourself
              • The exact 3-part framework I use: Be Proud. Be Loud. Be Strategic.
              • Plus, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the moment I realized I could either hide behind humility… or own my authority.

                If you’ve ever felt like bragging makes you cringe—or like no one is seeing how hard you’re working—this episode is going to hit hard in the best way

              • 016: The $10K Photos They’d Hang in a Museum

                This isn’t your average “how to run a boudoir business” convo. This is a behind-the-scenes tour of a creative empire in the making.

                In Part 2 of my conversation with Shannon Griffin, we get deep into the art, psychology, and bold pricing strategy that powers Shannon’s luxury boudoir brand. We’re talking $1,500 commission fees just to start… and five-figure sales for custom-designed wall art that belongs in a gallery.

                You’ll hear the truth about boundaries, high-end client expectations, saying “no” more than “yes,” and how Shannon’s work changed when she stopped trying to be “just” a photographer—and claimed her place as an artist.

                If you’ve ever wondered how to charge more, do less, and create actual art people will treasure for a lifetime… this is the episode.

                Inside this one, we talk about:

                🔥What Shannon’s luxury client process really looks like (and why most people fall off)

                🔥The mental game of building a business that’s mostly “no”s

                🔥How she gets $10K+ clients to say yes without ever sending a price list

                🔥What it means to run a values-led, vision-first business (even when it’s terrifying)

                🔥Why being the breadwinner, the visionary, and the feeler is a lot—and also totally worth it

              • 015: Inside the Educator Mindset—Transparency, Boundaries & Boudoir Realness with Shannon Griffin

                You’ve been to the conferences. You’ve seen the speaker lineups. But have you ever wondered what really goes down behind the scenes? In this episode, I’m pulling the curtain all the way back.

                I’m sitting down with my girl crush turned soul mate, Shannon Griffin, for a raw, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about what it’s actually like to be on the educator side of the photography world. From the nerves and expectations of presenting to the weight of attendee feedback—this one goes there.

                What started as a casual “let’s catch up” turned into a full-on debrief of Shannon’s experience at a recent workshop, including the moment she opened a tough piece of feedback—and decided to talk it through, live, with me, on the pod.

                This is real-time vulnerability, integrity, and growth. And yeah—it’s also funny as hell.

                In this episode, we dive into:
                🔥 The pressure to be “everything” as an educator—and why that’s just not possible
                🔥 Why teaching your process doesn’t mean giving it all away
                🔥 Shannon’s approach to client privacy, even when it means missing out on portfolio gold
                🔥 The emotional labor no one talks about in educational spaces
                🔥 What I told a potential mastermind client who wasn’t ready—and what you should look for in an educator
                🔥 The importance of creating safety and trust—even when no one says “thank you”
                🔥 Why caring deeply doesn’t make you weak—it makes you excellent

                If you’re a photographer navigating workshops, education, or just trying to find your people—this one’s a must-listen.
