In this thoughtful (and funny) episode, Angie and Shelly dig into the idea of hard lines—the non-negotiables, the deal breakers, the things that make you say “nope, not for me.” Inspired by a listener suggestion, they dive into music they refuse to sing, clients they’ve turned away, conversations they’ve shut down, and why respect is always the bottom line.

🎶 Songs That Don’t Age Well – From “Wild Irish Rose” to holiday tunes with problematic lyrics, why some classics just don’t hold up

📷 Clients and Photography Boundaries – Guns in the studio? Nope. Explicit boudoir requests? Also nope. Disrespectful spouses? Shown the door

🗣️ Conversation Deal Breakers – Politics, religion, and the questions you don’t need to ask your photographer

🙅 Respect Is Non-Negotiable – Why name-calling, hate speech, and trolling cross the line every single time

💬 Boundaries in Real Life – From saying no to toxic requests, to standing up when someone is being disrespectful, to knowing when to walk away

😂 When Humor Meets Hard Lines – Why Angie quoted $12,000 for a very questionable photo request, and why sometimes humor is the best shield
