  • Mari Trancoso on Motherhood, Work, and Finding Your Way Back
    Apr 20 2026

    What does returning to your work actually look like after becoming a mother?

    Wedding and family photographer Mari Trancoso gets into the messy, honest reality of building a photography business alongside motherhood — shifting capacity, rethinking pricing, outsourcing, and what "balance" genuinely looks like when you're in it.

    We also get into everything that sits outside the invoice: the mental load, the invisible labour, the constant recalibration that shapes the creative work you can make.

    If you're a photographer navigating motherhood, burnout, or a season of change — this one's for you.

  • James Wolf on Why Grad Photos Don't Have to be Boring
    Apr 6 2026

    Grad photography gets overlooked a lot in the wedding world - treated as filler work between bigger bookings, or a stepping stone to something more "serious."
    In this episode, James Wolf breaks down what actually changes when you start treating grad sessions as real rights of passage - from how you draw out genuine personality on a shoot to how you build a grad offering that feels intentional and creatively fulfilling.

    We talk about the difference between photographing high school and college grads when it comes to identity and confidence, how small styling choices can elevate a session without overcomplicating it, and why "just because it's a grad shoot" doesn't mean it has to feel like lesser work.


    If you're trying to figure out how grad photography fits into your business - creatively and commercially, this episode will help you think it through

  • Daniel Kim on Pricing Film Photography
    Mar 23 2026

    Film photography gets talked about a lot in wedding photography — especially when it comes to pricing.

    In this episode, Daniel Kim breaks down what actually changes when you start shooting film, from how you approach exposure and decision-making to how you structure your packages and charge for your work.

    We talk about whether film should be an add-on or part of your brand, how to price film without undercharging, and why “just because it’s on film” isn’t enough to justify higher rates.

    If you’re trying to figure out how film fits into your photography business — creatively and commercially — this episode will help you think it through.
