I’m baaaaaackkkk (with two new best friends) ...

You heard that right, The Photographer’s Podcast is BACK! 

But before we get into it, I want to thank you for being here, for allowing me this season of rest as I adjust to this new mom life. I’d be lying if I said I was actually adjusted by now. This is a process that’s gonna take time, and I’m enjoying the freedom and flexibility I have as a photographer to take it all in without having to rush back into work. So, thank you.

Being a photographer who’s in control of their own schedule, flexibility and freedom, is truly a gift. And I don’t take that lightly.

I wanted to properly kick things off by welcoming TPP alumni Claudia Segui to the podcast!

Claudia is an incredible wedding photographer originally from Cuba who’s currently living in South Florida. She is a mom of two, a wife, an inspiring artist and a hilarious, welcoming and talented photographer.

Claudia never imagined she would become a photographer. She spent most days in the courtroom working as a stenographer. But when she found herself going through a tough time, feeling stressed out about her day job, her husband suggested photography as a release. After receiving a camera as a christmas gift, she was hooked, until she tried to use it…

“I thought the camera was broken, I was like… it has to be, I can’t be that bad.”

Then Claudia joined The Photographer’s Path… and everything changed.

Today, she’s sharing exactly how much that Christmas gift changed her life.

Claudia is a perfect example of what happens when you follow your inspiration.

In this episode, she talks about:

➡️ How she booked her first wedding of 2024 in Hawaii

➡️ What she does to stand out as a photographer

➡️ How she breaks the ice with new clients to ensure a smooth wedding day

➡️ What she did to find her niche and style

➡️ Advice for aspiring photographers, and so much more...

Most photographers at one point or another have been hit with the dreaded question…

“Hey, do you think you could send me the raw files from our shoot?!”

It’s like a dagger in every photographer's heart…

We’re immediately plagued with questions like…

Did they hate the photos?

Did they hate the editing?

Did they hate the colors?!

Do they hate ME?!

It’s enough to make us spiral out of control.

But it doesn’t have to be like that.

I’ve experienced this question several times throughout my career and I’ve happily given clients my raw files, and I’ve happily NOT given clients my raw files.

It’s a complicated question with so much to unpack, and it’s something many of my students in The Photographer’s Path have asked me about.

So today I’m sharing my insight with you…

Inside the episode you’ll find:

• Examples of what you can say when a client asks this question
• What this question really means about you as a photographer
• Advice on how to clearly communicate with your clients
• Tips on how to prevent this from happening again

I’ve also got some big news I’m sharing in the episode as well

​News that involves our new social media course and how we’re gonna be approaching the podcast for the next two months...

Get ready for the therapy session you didn’t realize you needed today!

I’m so excited to be sharing an Instagram Live I had last month with the amazing Jordan Stratton, an alumni from The Photographer’s Path. Jordan is an incredible wedding photographer from Oklahoma and I can’t wait for you to get to know her today.

Jordan started TPP in Fall of 2022. A few weeks after joining, she quit her full-time job of 8 years to pursue photography. Talk about a MAJOR CHANGE right?! Some of you might be sweating just thinking about this transition.

But Jordan didn’t just blindly quit, she knew what she was doing. She quit her full-time job to work part-time while she actively pursued her photography dreams at the same time.

But the best part?! She quit her part-time job and it only took her 8 months to become a FULL-TIME WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER! WHAT!?!

Jordan's story is such an inspiration because it shows that there are so many different paths to take that can lead to your dreams and that not any one journey is the same as the next.

You can make your dreams happen in a way that works for you.

So, if photography is a dream in your heart, but quitting your day job seems out of reach, I hope this episode inspires you and shows you what’s possible when you say yes!!
