If only I could tell my younger self... 6 pieces of photography advice

Let’s be honest — photography can feel like a lot sometimes.

There’s SO much to learn, a hundred paths to follow, and alllll the noise about what you “should” be doing… it’s no wonder we end up overwhelmed and second-guessing everything from our editing to our lens choices!

In today’s episode, I’m getting a little reflective and sharing the 6 lessons I wish I could go back and tell my younger photography self — before the rabbit holes, the gear splurges, and the late-night Googling spirals. 🙃

Whether you're feeling a bit stuck or just need a reminder that you're so not alone, this one’s for you.

Tune in for the advice I wish I’d heard sooner — and that I hope helps you move forward with a little more clarity (and a lot more confidence).

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL TAKE AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Why learning photography out of order might be secretly sabotaging your progress

2️⃣ The surprisingly big problem with staying “comfortable” behind the camera

3️⃣ How to draw inspiration from others without losing your own creative voice

4️⃣ The truth about free content vs. investing in a solid learning path

5️⃣ What to ask yourself before you hit “add to cart” on that new lens or gadget

6️⃣ How chasing tips and tricks can actually slow your growth (yup, really!)

So if you’re ready for a little tough love (with lots of warmth and virtual high-fives), pop in your earbuds and let’s chat. 💛
