  • Sabrina sounds and feels like a friend!

    I find myself running to this podcast daily. If there isn’t a new episode, I’m going back to all unplayed episodes. Sabrina’s topics and ideas really hit home for me as a photographer. She is down to earth and she’s reachable! If you aren’t following her on Instagram, go and follow her now. She’s a real person delivering real content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

157: Money Mindset and Shifts To Make When Business Sucks with Kelly Marshall
Q: What should a photographer do first when they feel the business is slow and fear is taking over?
Acknowledge the feelings, look at the numbers to identify a minimal viable income, and separate fear from rational planning. Then create an aligned plan that focuses on necessary expenses and potential revenue moves rather than sweeping, fear-driven changes.
158: Making Pinterest Work For You with Kara Duncan
Q: What is the realistic timeline for Pinterest to work for a business?
The guest emphasizes that Pinterest tends to be a slower, long-game channel, with six to twelve months of consistent effort often needed before meaningful results show up, so setting realistic expectations is key.
168: Real Women, Real Stories: From New Photographer to Agency Founder with Cheyenne Morris
Q: Tell me about Lady Bird—the idea behind it and where it is now.
The idea came from recognizing a gap in how models were sourced and represented; Cheyenne leveraged her connections in the Austin area to start a small, curated agency, focusing on authenticity and matching models to specific brand needs. Now, it has grown to 21 models with ongoing submissions, and it serves as a bridge between photographers, brands, and diverse talent while staying aligned with Cheyenne's values.
173: Letting Things Go To Make Space For New Opportunities with Annemie Tonken
Q: What advice do you have for others considering letting go of a successful part of their business?
Trust your intuition, evaluate what truly serves your long-term goals, and remember you've built a business before and can rebuild it again; you don't have to burn the ships, but you may need to reallocate energy towards what lights you up.
173: Letting Things Go To Make Space For New Opportunities with Annemie Tonken
Q: How did you handle the fall mini-sessions and the summer planning after deciding to pause them?
I paused the fall mini-sessions, communicated openly with my email list, and trusted that I could still serve clients through full sessions while I explored new directions; surprisingly, inquiries from new clients for First 48 sessions picked up, validating the pivot.
