Shoot Edit Chat Repeat

Welcome to episode 94 of Shoot Edit Chat Repeat, the podcast for people photographers & creative entrepreneurs. Hosted by two leading UK portrait photographers, Vicki Knights & Eddie Judd.

This week we have a lovely chat with Rachel Larsen Weaver who is family & portrait photographer based on the east coast of America. Rachel is a mother to five and her enthusiasm for details and self-love are infectious.

Her portfolio and practice is in her own words 'fat-affirming, mindful, and genuine', focusing on the life and light of clients as she travels the country documenting mothers, bodies, and details.

We chat to Rachel all about the two types of unique sessions she offer - long-form stories with families and body stories with women. We ask her how she instills genuine confidence in her clients to be themselves.

We hope you enjoy the chat as much as we did!

Welcome to episode 87 of Shoot Edit Chat Repeat, the podcast for people photographers. Hosted by two leading UK portrait photographers, Vicki Knights & Eddie Judd.

This week we chat to UK wedding photographer, Sam Docker. Since 2012, Sam has shot 300+ weddings worldwide and also loves training other photographers and helping them to run a successful wedding photography business.

With all of the rescheduled weddings from 2020 going back in the diary, 2021 has been the busiest year ever for many wedding photographers. We've heard many photographers saying they are physically and mentally exhausted.

We chat to Sam all about finding that elusive perfect balance in our businesses and lives. We talk about how to say no, how to charge more, and why it's important that photographers keep fit in order to keep up with the physical challenges of the job.

It's a brilliant chat and we think you're going to take so much from it.

Warning, there's a bit of salty language during the chat, so pop your headphones in if there are little ears around!

Welcome to episode 85 of Shoot Edit Chat Repeat, the podcast for people photographers. Hosted by two leading UK portrait photographers, Vicki Knights & Eddie Judd.

We've heard lots of you saying recently that you're feeling overwhelmed and stressed. It's understandable - coming out of lockdown where we weren't shooting, socialising, mum-taxiing etc etc then being thrown right back into our busy lives is a shock to the system!

So we invited the wonderful US photographer LeAnna Azzolini onto the show to chat to us about this.

LeAnna has just experienced burn out herself, so we talk about her experience of this and how to recognise the signs early before you burn out.

We have a lovely chat with LeAnna all about her tips for dealing with overwhelm burnout, whether social media contributes to this and also about her love for self-portraiture.

See LeAnna's work here

Follow LeAnna on Instagram LeAnna's own podcast episode about her experience of burnout
