Today on the show, we have the wonderfully talented Jennifer Moher - a Toronto-based wedding photographer and educator. Jennifer’s elegant and enduring style reminds us that photography is about more than just aesthetics – it’s about noticing and building relationships.
If you ever feel like you’ve struggled to keep up with the comings and goings of trends or feel frustrated that you spend hours mastering one style only to realise that trend has come and gone, this is an episode for you. Together, Jennifer and I take you on a deep dive into the art of creating timeless images in a trend-obsessed world. We talk about how to capture moments that transcend trends so you can create images that resonate for years to come – and why getting intentional about what you consume helps you create more impactful imagery for your clients. After transitioning into education over 10 years ago, Jennifer’s spent a lot of time learning how to translate the ineffable into the practical. Now she’s able to take something that’s really hard to explain and articulate the exact actionable steps to bring you deeper into your power as an artist. She does just that in this episode.

Jackson Grant is not your average run-of-the-mill wedding photographer. His images are vivid, wild, and buzzing. But don’t let his exuberant approach fool you – there’s nothing careless about the way he does things. He takes on 25 couples a year and is intentional and generous with his time. His is a no-shortcut approach to inquiries, client communication, photographing, culling, and editing, and he’s willing to spend time on each stage of this process. Today, we’re diving right into the virtues and benefits of a workflow that doesn’t hold maximum productivity or efficiency as the pinnacle of success. If you’ve listened to any of our previous podcasts on presets, AI culling, or workflow hacks, this one provides you with a bit of an alternative perspective so you can make the right choice for yourself and your business. It could be exactly what you need to hear, or it could be a totally new perspective that might add that little bit of special sauce to your current workflow.

Today on the show we have Aly Hansen – a wedding, family, and in-home film photographer based out of Richmond, Virginia. After stumbling across a Polaroid camera in Target after an interstate move, she fell down a rabbit hole of researching, studying, and devoting every waking minute to understanding film.

Having built her business on in-home sessions, she has a lot to share about what it takes to cultivate creativity, see the magic in the every day, and connect with people in the intimate environment of their own homes. She’s passionate about film, and she’s passionate about supporting women in film because she’s seen how it can empower you to turn your passion and art into a purposeful life. If you’ve ever thought about incorporating film into your workflow or gotten stuck on how to make your in-home sessions run more smoothly, this is an amazing episode for you to wrap your ears around!
