Running a photography business and raising kids? You’re not alone—and yes, it’s possible to do it all without losing your mind. In this episode of Lifestyle and Lenses, we’re getting real about time management for photographers and sharing how we organize our days, book clients, and still show up for our families.
Whether you’re drowning in editing or can’t remember the last time you had a weekend off, this one’s for you.
We’re sharing:
– How to schedule photoshoots around nap times, school, and family routines
– Why batching content (editing, marketing, reels) is a sanity-saver
– How we use Google Calendar, HoneyBook, and 17hats to stay on track
– Tips for setting work boundaries without feeling guilty
– Our “non-negotiables” to protect personal time and avoid burnout
– The mindset shift that changed how we run our businesses
– How to plan a week that works for you—not against you
This episode is packed with practical strategies for creative entrepreneurs who want to get organized and reclaim their time, while still growing a business they love.
