I want to thank you all for being here and tuning in when I publish new episodes - it is always so wonderful to hear from you when you enjoy and feel inspired from listening. I recently started a Substack - I am not sure where it’s headed but if you’d like to support the creation of more podcast episodes there is a paid subscriber option which could help me buy more coffee to stay up later to edit more creative conversations!

Buy me a coffee through a Substack subscription (where you also get to see me try to be a writer).

For today’s episode, I’m talking with Alison Hatch. Alison is a family photographer based in New Mexico who has a deep belief in connection, family, and showing the people in front of her lens that their life is art. She is a modern art lover who also strongly promotes hanging your art - ie your family photos on your walls. Alison is primarily a film photographer so we talk about that part too (of course!).  She is the owner of Photo Native - a photography experience that helps build community and learning for photographers. As you can guess this means she also believes in community.  This is a good one & I am so thankful you are here listening!

For today’s episode, I’m talking with Zoe Wittering, a portrait photographer based in the south of France. She creates beautiful and meaningful photography work through both her personal projects and her client work. About a year ago, she posed a question on Instagram that I hadn’t forgotten because I loved it so much. She said, if she could sit somewhere beautiful and share a cup of tea, there were all these wonderful topics she’d like to talk about -like art featuring women by women, analogue v digital, creativity & guilt & trust, and rest. And even though we are countries away from each other and can’t talk about these topics in person, we were able to have a wonderful virtual conversation which you can hear here.
