Ria and I first met in 2021 at a (wedding) clients home where she was the photographer and I was the videographer. We developed a friendship from there and I was excited to learn more about her, from her start in photography, battles with self-doubt, balancing work / life and finally where she is now in boudoir / empowerment photography.

It was a pleasure to sit down and have this conversation, I hope you enjoy it as well.

Your support goes a long way, feel free to share with a friend, on your social media pages and be sure to leave feedback whether on Apple podcasts or Spotify - it helps more people find my show!

Back with another solo episode which goes into a little on why I'm quitting weddings, some Q&A via Instagram and a rant on social media.

I got the chance to sit down and chat with David Butler, an incredible New England based Commercial Photographer & Digital Artist specializing in product and still life. He works out of a beautiful studio in East Boston and also has a Portland Maine-area studio, where we had this conversation.

We discuss our backgrounds and how we know each other, the photography business, working for yourself and not getting stuck in the 9-to-5 unfulfilling jobs that so many passionate creators find themselves in on the way to living their dream careers.

It was a pleasure and I am so grateful David took time out of his day to sit and chat for almost 2 hours. We'll definitely have to make time for a part 2 of our conversation, there's still a lot to discuss!

In this first episode, I introduce and give a little bit of background on myself: Who I am, what I do and why I started this podcast.

If you know me, you know I love to talk. If you don't know me, you should know that I love to talk. I'd like to thank my background in sales for giving me the ability and genuine interest to speak to anyone, usually about anything.
