It's not what's in your photography portfolio... it's what's MISSING from your PORTFOLIO.

What's MISSING is why people aren't hiring you to be their wedding or family photographer.

I just finished up a month of free photography portfolio reviews with photographers from all walks of life and stage of career and two things were blindingly apparent.

And it's those two things that will elevate your portfolio beyond the vast and endless sea of photographers.

Listen closely to this episode to find out what's missing, and how it will improve your business.

After several years of mentoring wedding and family photographers, I've witnessed many ways we hold ourselves back from artistic fulfillment and from building a sustainable photography business.

In this episode, I share three of the most common expectations that limit photography business success.

Call them assumptions or ways of thinking, these three expectations are standing in the way of aligned photography clients and meaningful photography business practices.

Listen now for how to spot them, and how to change them this year.

When two of the biggest forces in wedding photography QUIT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, I'd call that a shift. A holy sh*t shift.

I sit down with Erika and Lanny Mann to talk all things life, why they quit and what's next.

Unsurprisingly, their candid honesty and pure passion for photography will leave you with many things to chew on.

I got trolled today. And the serendipity with which it arrived in my inbox was fascinating!

The trolling was an illuminating opportunity to review my business practices and mindset shifts I've worked on over the past few years.

Listen in to hear all about how sometimes, those trolls can do you a big favour.
