My mom joined me on this special episode to discuss the lessons that influenced my journey into photography and self-employment. We talk about resilience, leading with calm under pressure, discovering creativity later in life, and how her quiet support helped me follow my own path. Along the way, we touch on wedding photography, travel, and why curiosity and passion are essential to any career.

Key takeaways:

• A strong work ethic and calm leadership are learned long before they show up in a career. The way you show up under pressure sets the tone for everyone around you.
• Creativity is not always obvious early on. Sometimes it’s discovered through life, curiosity, or necessity and grows when it’s supported rather than forced.
• In wedding photography personality matters just as much as technical skill. Couples choose photographers who bring confidence, calm, and trust into emotionally charged moments.
• Growth comes from staying curious. Continuing education, observing trends, and expanding your perspective are essential to staying relevant and fulfilled in a creative business.
• Travel deepens both life experience and artistic vision. Exposure to different cultures, environments, and ways of living informs how you see, photograph, and connect with people.
