Hi friend!

As a photographer, it can feel like having some presence on Instagram is vital to our success. And I hear you. But we have to understand how to do so in a way that protects our mental and emotional health!

I've been back on the platform for a little over a month now, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the healthy relationship I've been able to maintain with it.

In today's episode, I'm sharing exactly how I use the app and what tips, tricks and boundaries I've implemented in order to maintain that healthy relationship.

You may want to copy and paste some of these tips and others you may want to tweak to make your own!

Either way, I hope this episode encourages you to use Instagram in a way that actually serves you well in all ways - in your business but also personally!

Hey friend!

Mini sessions tend to be all the rage in the photography world come Fall! And while I do think they make sense in some situations, I don't think we should all default to doing them.

In this episode, I'm sharing five reasons I no longer offer mini sessions. After trying to make them work for years in different ways, I finally concluded that they simply don't make sense for me.

My hope is that understanding why I don't do mini sessions anymore may help you in looking at them from a different perspective. Perhaps they do work for you, but if they don't, I hope that this episode gives you the permission you need to step away from them!

In this episode, you will learn:

• 5 reasons I no longer offer mini sessions
• An alternative solution if you offer them for financial reasons
• Why offering mini sessions may actually be hurting your business in the long run
• Questions to consider to determine whether or not mini sessions make sense for you

Enjoy, friend!

Hi friend!

If you use Instagram to market your business, the thought of being banned from the platform is terrifying - and rightfully so.

My guest, Hannah Mann, was wrongly and unexpectedly banned from Instagram this summer. What initially seemed like a curse, though, turned out to be a gift, as she stepped into the freedom of being an artist and living her life without the pressure of social media.

So much so that she took additional time away from Instagram after getting her account back.

In this episode you'll hear about:

• Hannah's experience with being banned from Instagram
• ways to market yourself outside of social media
• freedom you can find in your work when you're away from Instagram
• creating for your clients vs. creating for your Instagram audience
• contentment in all areas of your life without social media
• and so much more

This is the second part of my conversation with Hannah (the first part is episode 18), and this is easily my favorite part of what we talked about. I hope you enjoy!
