  • Insightful Conversations Hosted by a Master Craftsman Photographer

    Luci’s profitable photographer podcast is a true gem for both amateur and seasoned photographers alike. Her experience both as a photographer herself and as someone who’s had the unique opportunity to talk with so many professionals over the years makes her deep well of knowledge. The true magic of her podcast though is her easy communication style and how she lays out complex ideas simply like you’re talking to a friend. A must listen for anyone looking to make a living as a photographer!

  • Goosebumps-Worthy Inspiration

    The episode with Greg and Lisa Daniels gave me absolute goosebumps. Hearing Greg share how an instructor “breathed life into him” at just 12 years old by telling him he had a gift was so powerful. The idea of breathing life into another human is something I’ll carry with me. As a photographer, I always want the people in front of my lens to feel truly seen and this conversation was such a beautiful reminder of why that matters.
