Early in their career, Joel & Justyna were chasing trends and mimicking others. Today, they create with clarity, confidence, and intention—delivering work that resonates on a deeply human level.

Unbelievably, only 1-2% of photographers using Lightroom are taking advantage of AI right now.

After this conversation with James Broadbent - wedding photographer and founder of Narrative - I'm convinced that's going to change.

We talk about how Narrative's tools (Select, Edit, and Publish) are helping photographers get their time back, reduce burnout, and actually enjoy their creative process again.

James shares how the AI learns your unique editing style, why resistance is normal, and what happens when you stop fighting your tools, and start working with them.

This episode will definitely open your eyes to what's possible.

In this episode, I sit down with Calgary-based photographer Justine Milton to talk all things film, hybrid workflows, and the pursuit of consistency behind the camera.

From booking her first wedding off a Kijiji ad to becoming one of Canada's go-to names in hybrid photography, Justine's journey is full of lessons for any photographer looking to grow.

We dive into her approach to metering, exposure, and gear plus how she's adapted her process for fast-paced weddings without sacrificing quality.

In this episode, I sit down with Tessa Shannon, a destination wedding photographer whose career has been shaped by bold moves, evolving creativity, and trusting her gut.

From shooting $50 sessions in Vancouver to building a thriving business across Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and now the U.S., Tessa shares her real journey: the risks, the pivots, the style evolution, and the mindset shifts that helped her grow.

We talk about staying aligned with your values, learning through failure, and finding the courage to take your own big swing .. whether you're in year one or year ten.

It's a reminder that you don't need to have it all figured out - you just need to start.
