Trigger Warning: Discrimination inside of the wedding industry is still going strong and most of the time it can be unintentional. So we dive into simple ways that you can be mindful in your language and make easy tweaks to show your stance on inclusivity, even if you haven't had a shoot with a LGBTQ+ person or couple yet. On the flipside, if the discrimination is active choice because of personal beliefs, we speak to the importance of your personal responsibility as a vendor to outwardly disclose on your website or social media that you only work with certain people and that you become aware of discrimination law in your province or state.

Perfectionism is not the badge of honour most of us have been taught that it is. As Elizabeth Gilbert once said, perfectionism is just fear in nice shoes.

At its core, it is a protection mechanism meant to keep us feeling safe and loved. But to really grow as a person and as a photographer, we need to examine how perfectionism is affecting how we show up each day. Does it actually serve you? We dive into some questions here that will help you evaluate this and discover more about yourself.

So you identify as a photographer....but do you actually still want to be one? It's a tough question to ask yourself when you have put so much time and energy into turning a dream into a reality. But if you never ask yourself this and evaluate it, you may be missing out on something that is even more meaningful to you. Do you actually want to be working every weekend? Do you want a revolving door of clients? Do you want to manage a team of editors or edit for hours yourself? Do you want to be on social media all of the time? Do you actually still show up to sessions as excited as you were when you started? It's worth evaluating.

Most photographers are acting like employees in their businesses. That included both of us. We ask some tough questions in this episode to see if you are as well and provide a few ways that you can correct that if you choose to. We want you to be able to grow your business in a way that it doesn't require your assistance 24/7. You're in business to RUN your business, not to let it run you.
