Social media: love it or hate it, it’s part of the photography hustle. In this episode of Lifestyle and Lenses, we’re diving into the real talk about using platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok as photographer moms trying to grow a business and raise tiny humans.
We’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to show up online—and how to protect your peace in the process.
In this episode, we talk about:
– The pressure to post and be everywhere online
– Why your social media strategy doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s
– Balancing authenticity with professionalism on your feed
– How to deal with the comparison trap, algorithm drama, and burnout
– Creating content that connects without draining your soul
– Our favorite tools for scheduling and repurposing content
– Whether you actually need to be on every platform to book clients
This is the episode for any creative who’s ever felt like social media was more chore than cheerleader. Let’s talk about using it on your terms—strategically, intentionally, and without the guilt.
