In Part 2 of our conversation, Anna Marie Bolet takes us behind the scenes of her portrait sessions and into the deeper purpose behind her work. She shares why print photography matters more than ever in a digital world, and how holding a tangible image can create a lasting emotional connection.

We explore her unique approach to helping clients feel confident, relaxed, and proud of how they show up on camera. Anna also opens up about using photography as a way to give back, from community fundraisers to creative projects with heart and purpose.

This episode is a reminder that great photography is not just about the final image. It is about the experience, the emotion, and the legacy you leave behind.
