As photographers, it's so easy - too easy - to be clones of one another. We're constantly exposed to what other photographers are doing, how they're shooting, what the trends are, and the list goes on. And it's ok to be influenced by this, but we also have to mesh this influence with who we are as artists in order to create something unique!

When I was a guest on Leah O'Connell's podcast, Photo Fuel, this is one of the topics we dove into, and I'm sharing that conversation today on my podcast!

We also discussed how I infuse my unique perspective into my session, how I arrived where I am within the photography industry and balancing being a mom to four boys with a successful business.

It was a wonderful conversation, and I hope you enjoy it!
