Have you ever had one of those weeks where your to-do list just stares at you like, “Yeah… you’re never finishing me”? Same.
Between work, life, family, endless responsibilities, and trying to remember what sleep feels like (hiii mom life!), it can feel hard to even think about making time for your photography dreams, let alone actually work towards them.
Here’s the thing though, no matter how busy life feels, you can make space for your photography and your dreams.
You just need a way to carve out time, even when it feels like there’s none left.
And trust me, I know the feeling—wanting to do everything but somehow doing nothing—you blink and suddenly it’s 10 p.m. and you’re staring at your phone like, ‘Wait, where did the day go?’
That’s why, in this week’s podcast episode, we’re talking about exactly that—how to turn those overwhelming, anxious feelings into action. Spoiler Alert: It’s not about having more time, it’s about using the time you’ve got.
Here’s a little sneak peek of what we’re talking about:
How to stop feeling like a deer in headlights when you look at your to-do list and start actually moving forward The magic of setting one big, bold goal that gets you excited—and then breaking it down into manageable steps How to find your “golden hours” and use them to make serious progress (even if it’s just 15 minutes at a time!)This isn’t about adding more to your plate—it’s about finding freedom in the small, intentional steps that get you closer to your dreams. And the best part? It’s not about perfection. It’s about showing up for yourself, consistently, even when life feels too busy.
You don’t have to wait for the “perfect moment” to chase your photography dreams.
The perfect moment is right now.
Every small step you take adds up to something bigger.
So if you’re ready to turn that busy, overwhelming feeling into something productive and meaningful, this episode is for you.

Social media used to feel SO fun.
I mean, think back to the days when we’d just take a photo with our iphone, slap the Valencia filter on it and call it a day.
It was so simple back then, so pure...
But then came the algorithm...
And with it, the never ending demand for MORE!
More likes, more followers, more content… more, more, more!
It kinda becomes exhausting, doesn’t it?
As photographers, we pour our hearts into our work, only to feel like we're constantly chasing something that keeps moving further away.
And then you add in the constant stream of heartbreaking news every time you open the app—the world seemingly on fire—it can make sharing your art feel almost pointless.
It’s hard not to wonder if what we create even makes a difference when the world feels so heavy.
Maybe you’ve been feeling it too, and if so, it's important to remember that art has the power to bring light, hope, and connection—even when it feels like everything is falling apart.
Your creativity deserves to be seen, and it IS possible to reconnect with the joy that brought you to social media in the first place.
And I’m sharing all about it in today’s podcast episode, we’re talking…
finding that spark again making social media work for you, what’s been making me feel disconnected from IG and how I’m bringing that joy back how to stay true to yourself and your craft, even when the world feels like it’s falling apartTHE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PATH REOPENS FALL 2024.

Well, hiiiiiiii friend! 👋
It’s been a while, but I’m back in your inbox…and so is The Photographer’s Podcast. 🥹
But, in all honesty, I’m actually not really back. Not the whole way, at least.
Because this whole becoming a mom thing has changed me, and I’m not the same person anymore. Who am I? I’m not quite sure yet, but I do know I feel different. I’m a different business owner, a different photographer, a different wife, a different human.
And, most importantly, mom to two little angel babies.
So, again, Hi! I’m here and the podcast is back, and I’m so excited to be showing up for you in this way again.
And before I say any more I need to say thank you.Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here too, and allowing me to take this pause.
I can’t tell you how much it means, and how thankful I am to each and every person in this incredible, beautiful community.
To kick off disappearing from the world for a while (and new-era-of-Nicole), I’m sharing a very honest deep dive into the last 9 months of my life on today’s episode.
I’m so glad to be back, different and all.

I’m baaaaaackkkk (with two new best friends) ...
You heard that right, The Photographer’s Podcast is BACK!
But before we get into it, I want to thank you for being here, for allowing me this season of rest as I adjust to this new mom life. I’d be lying if I said I was actually adjusted by now. This is a process that’s gonna take time, and I’m enjoying the freedom and flexibility I have as a photographer to take it all in without having to rush back into work. So, thank you.
Being a photographer who’s in control of their own schedule, flexibility and freedom, is truly a gift. And I don’t take that lightly.
I wanted to properly kick things off by welcoming TPP alumni Claudia Segui to the podcast!
Claudia is an incredible wedding photographer originally from Cuba who’s currently living in South Florida. She is a mom of two, a wife, an inspiring artist and a hilarious, welcoming and talented photographer.
Claudia never imagined she would become a photographer. She spent most days in the courtroom working as a stenographer. But when she found herself going through a tough time, feeling stressed out about her day job, her husband suggested photography as a release. After receiving a camera as a christmas gift, she was hooked, until she tried to use it…
“I thought the camera was broken, I was like… it has to be, I can’t be that bad.”
Then Claudia joined The Photographer’s Path… and everything changed.
Today, she’s sharing exactly how much that Christmas gift changed her life.
Claudia is a perfect example of what happens when you follow your inspiration.
In this episode, she talks about:
➡️ How she booked her first wedding of 2024 in Hawaii
➡️ What she does to stand out as a photographer
➡️ How she breaks the ice with new clients to ensure a smooth wedding day
➡️ What she did to find her niche and style
➡️ Advice for aspiring photographers, and so much more...

Most photographers at one point or another have been hit with the dreaded question…
“Hey, do you think you could send me the raw files from our shoot?!”
It’s like a dagger in every photographer's heart…
We’re immediately plagued with questions like…
Did they hate the photos?
Did they hate the editing?
Did they hate the colors?!
Do they hate ME?!
It’s enough to make us spiral out of control.
But it doesn’t have to be like that.
I’ve experienced this question several times throughout my career and I’ve happily given clients my raw files, and I’ve happily NOT given clients my raw files.
It’s a complicated question with so much to unpack, and it’s something many of my students in The Photographer’s Path have asked me about.
So today I’m sharing my insight with you…
Inside the episode you’ll find:
Examples of what you can say when a client asks this question What this question really means about you as a photographer Advice on how to clearly communicate with your clients Tips on how to prevent this from happening againI’ve also got some big news I’m sharing in the episode as well
News that involves our new social media course and how we’re gonna be approaching the podcast for the next two months...

Get ready for the therapy session you didn’t realize you needed today!
I’m so excited to be sharing an Instagram Live I had last month with the amazing Jordan Stratton, an alumni from The Photographer’s Path. Jordan is an incredible wedding photographer from Oklahoma and I can’t wait for you to get to know her today.
Jordan started TPP in Fall of 2022. A few weeks after joining, she quit her full-time job of 8 years to pursue photography. Talk about a MAJOR CHANGE right?! Some of you might be sweating just thinking about this transition.
But Jordan didn’t just blindly quit, she knew what she was doing. She quit her full-time job to work part-time while she actively pursued her photography dreams at the same time.
But the best part?! She quit her part-time job and it only took her 8 months to become a FULL-TIME WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER! WHAT!?!
Jordan's story is such an inspiration because it shows that there are so many different paths to take that can lead to your dreams and that not any one journey is the same as the next.
You can make your dreams happen in a way that works for you.
So, if photography is a dream in your heart, but quitting your day job seems out of reach, I hope this episode inspires you and shows you what’s possible when you say yes!!

If I could have told myself a year ago that today I'd be pregnant with 2 biscuits, welcoming an incredible new group of students into TPP, and sitting on my deck outside my cabin in Big Sur on MY BABYMOON, I’d have burst into tears. It’s all I wanted, you know? And it is STILL what I want. I’m so grateful, and so thankful, and so looking forward to what life has in store coming up. But, guess what? As it happens, I’m burned out. Fulfilled? 10000% Yesssss.
But exhausted and burned out? Yusssss. Which is why Dustin and I are in Big Sur right now for a little babymoon and a little refresher, and I feel lighter already. As you read this, I’m probably eating a donut, sitting on the redwood deck, listening to the birds enjoying a crisp, quiet morning. Or maybe we’re having dinner on the cliffs, watching the sunset. Or maybe I’m zoning out listening to the sound of the dirt under our feet on hikes and the birds in the trees… whatever it is I’m taking a breath. I’m letting myself take a break and let nature fill me back up. Because that’s what we have to do sometimes. Which is why this week I thought it was the perfect time to dive deep into burnout on this week’s episode of the podcast. Because here’s the thing: Even though we LOVE the work we do — burnout still exists. And we owe it to ourselves to know how to support ourselves, to connect back to the things we love, and to feel better. So on this episode, you’ll hear: My own experience(s) — because there are several, trust me — with burnout How to zone in on your priorities (and align your life and business with them) A reminder that it’s okay feel burnout, it doesn’t mean photography isn’t meant for you And, more than anything, I hope this episode reminds you that you owe yourself MORE than living a life where your tank is always on empty and your lights are always flickering. Because you do. Please don’t sell yourself short of that, okay?SIGN UP FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PATH WAITLIST DOORS OPEN SPRING 2024: https://www.horizonfound.com/path

Yes, you read that right.
I dunno about you, but lately I've been feeling exhaused. I don't know if it's pregnancy exhaustion, work exhaustion, end of summer exhaustion, or all of the above ... but I've been tired.So today, I thought it'd be fun to change the pace around here a little bit...
Today I'm sharing an epic adventure from the most challenging/dangerous experience I've ever encountered while location scouting.
*hint* - poisonous sea snake, komodo dragons and getting lost at sea.In this episode, we're diving deep into the importance of location scouting and the preparation that needs to take place BEFORE your photoshoots. Location Scouting is an important part of the planning process that many photographers overlook—don't be one to skip this critical element!

Today we're chatting with The Photographer’s Path Alumni, Jennifer Morris.
It’s time for a raw honest conversation about life, business, and the process of leaving her full-time job of 10 years to become a photographer.
Jenni is an amazing lifestyle photographer — she shoots families, newborns and portraits. She is all about authenticity and capturing life’s most precious moments.
But Jenni's story didn’t come without its ups and downs. One in particular was in May of 2022, when Jenni was asked to set up a booth at an event to offer some mini sessions, she had an entire backdrop set up, she was ready, she was excited, she thought this was going to be a big moment for her and… no one signed up.
"I was posting about it saying this is going to be so great. And no one signed up, I was so embarrassment.”That’s when Jenni realized, and these are the pivotal moments in a photographers career, the moments where you can choose to keep going or give up."
This “failure” quickly became one of the most pivotal moments in Jenni’s career.
“If I would have stopped at that moment I would not be here.”
Fast forward to March of 2023, Jenni signed up for The Photographer’s Path and only FIVE MONTHS later she quit her job of 10 YEARS as a dental hygienist to become a FULL-TIME Photographer! Talk about transformation!
If you’re feeling stuck at your current job, wondering if photography is something that’s right for you, I hope this episode gives you hope for what’s possible when you believe in yourself and go after your dreams.

Over the years, I’ve learned that the littlest, tiniest moments are often the ones that spur the biggest, most massive impacts in life. From seemingly small decisions to unintended ones, the moments like that tend to define who we are and what we do — and it’s why we have to, have to, haveeee to start saying YES.
Why we have to start doing the things that SCARE us.
Why we have to start living a life that doesn't feel SO comfortable all the time.
Why we have to follow that little voice in our hearts that says GO!
In today’s episode, we’re taking a deep dive into letting our lives change. Listen in for things like:
The moments I’ve chosen comfort, but also the moments I’ve chosen DIScomfort
A reminder as to what happens when you follow a scary path
Inspiration to encourage your change-worthy moments
The Photographer's Path is currently open for enrollment until August 11th 2023 and will not be reopening until Spring/Summer 2024.

Today I’m introducing you to one of the amazing alumni from our online course, The Photographer’s Path, Alanna Georgette.
Alanna is an incredible film photographer based near London. She shoots musicians, live music, lifestyle and fashion. Her work has this beautiful, raw documentary style that really stands out and draws you into the moment.

It was so refreshing and inspiring to hear Alanna's experience, knowing that we’re not alone in the doubts we all feel sometimes. Alanna has been shooting professionally for over four and a half years and she has some beautiful insights to share with you today.
In this episode, she shares:

Today I brought someone very special onto the podcast, and I can’t WAIT for you to get to know her! Meet Photographer’s Path Alumni, Claudia Melian.
Claudia is an incredible wedding photographer, originally from the Canary Islands and currently living in Connecticut.
She is a true artist — her work is timeless, hypnotizing and never ceases to capture the attention of its viewers.
Shortly before joining The Photographer’s Path, Claudia fell in love with photography but wasn’t really sure where that path could take her. She didn’t know what she wanted to do, she just knew she loved taking photos.
Well, within 4 months of joining TPP Claudia booked her first wedding, and within 1 year of signing up for our course she was officially a full-time wedding photographer (taking on her first wedding season all on her own)!
She created a snowball effect that totally transformed her life, and we’re talking all about it in today’s episode.
Claudia is a perfect example of what can happen when you take the leap and go after your dreams even when you’re unsure of where it might take you.
In this episode, she talks about:
➡️ How DMing strangers to help build her portfolio led to booking her first couples shoot ...
➡️ Tips for staying calm and in the moment during stressful shoot environments ...
➡️ What inspires her to create images unique to her ...
➡️ Advice when shoots don’t go as planned (insert wedding horror stories) ...
➡️ Advice for aspiring photographers, and so much more...
If you’ve been thinking about taking it to the next level with your photography but the fear has been holding you back, I hope you'll give this episode a listen.
It’s time to see for yourself what’s possible when you go after your dreams.

We just got back from our very first photography retreat and I can honestly say, my life is changed for the better beause of it.
32 of our alumni from our online course, The Photographer’s Path met in Maui to fully submerge ourselves into photography. We dove deep into lighting, posing, cameras, lenses and ALL the techy goodness. We were pretty much open books 24/7, sharing and exchanging knowledge, we learned together, grew together, supported each other, and this time we spent together is something I’ll honestly never forget.
I watched every one of our students push outside their comfort zones and leave this retreat a different person.
And it all started with finding the courage to invest in an online photography course, become a part of a loving community, and believe in themselves and their capabilities.
Watching each of our students' grow has been the most incredible gift.
And on today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing it all with you! Listen in for:
A recap of our amazing week on Maui 🏝️ Why TPP alumni are so awesome 😏 The #1 thing all of our students have in common that has catapulted their growth 🚀 The 5 most important lessons I learned on this trip and how you can start applying them to your life today! 🧘You're going to want to listen to this episode!

Lemme just paint the picture for ya.
You’re sitting at the Thanksgiving dinner table, catching up on the year behind you and small-talking with your extended fam…
…and then your uncle (the one you see once a year — maybe) looks at you and says,
“Soooo, how’s your little photography business going?!”
And, since it’s THANKSGIVING, you can’t make a scene (ugh), so you kindly say, “It’s going really well actually.”
To which he responds “You're still doing that huh?”
Can ya relate to that one? 🙃
Buttttt, here’s the thing: uncle, what's his name, can calm it down — because the idea of ~starving artist syndrome~ and the assumption that creative people can’t make money is the wrong one.
As photographers, we work in a multi-billion dollar industry — and to say there’s limitless potential is almost selling us short.
In today’s episode, we’re talking ALL about this. When you listen, you’ll learn things like:
My personal experiences with $$$ in photography
Stats on the POWER of photography in the world
TPP encouragement for you to take to your next Thanksgiving dinner (😉)

“I have to wait until I get a nicer camera.”
“I can’t do it until the kids are older”
“I don’t need to try something I’m not sure I can follow through on.”
“I have way too many other priorities, this can wait.”
“I don’t have time.”
How many times have you said at least one of the above about your dreams?
If you’re like most photographers I know (and myself, trust me), it’s been… at least once. Probablyyyyyyyyy more. 🙃
But what if I told you that, actually…
…you can start without the camera
…you can figure it out
…you can follow through on the things you want
…you can make yourself a priority
…you can always make time for dreams
Because you CAN. It just genuinely requires a little recalibration and focus.
A reminder that you’re where you’re supposed to be — and you have to take advantage of every second you have, while you have it.
In today’s episode, we’re talking allllll about time and how to make the most of it when it comes to following your dreams— because maybe today you need to realize how much time you really do have.

I am OVERJOYED right now. Why?
Because TOMORROW we’ll be hosting 32 of our incredible alumni from The Photographer’s Path, in HAWAII (!!!!), for a 5 day private photography retreat.
The excitement I feel right now is unbelievable!! It’s a DREAM COME TRUE.
But here’s the thing, if you check us out on instagram, you’re going to see all of us in Maui this week shooting, creating magic and having the times of our lives ... but the reality is building a photography business can be hard. And the path to get to moments like this aren’t always easy.
In fact, there were MANY times during my journey that I’ve wanted to throw in the towel.
But because I never threw in that towel, I get to be here, sitting on a balcony, listening to the sound of the waves as I type this email. It's because I never gave up on this dream that I’ve been able to experience things I never thought possible.
And that’s why I do what I do, why I created Horizon Found, why I created this episode for you.
To make sure that YOU never give up on those dreams of yours, either. So that YOU get to experience moments you’d never imagined for yourself. I will do everything in my power to help get you to where you dream of being.
So if you’ve been tempted to quit lately, please tune in to this episode. I made it just for you.
AND PS. If you want to see what we’re up to during the retreat this week, make sure to tune in on Instagram! I’ve been posting ALL about it, I can’t wait to share all the magic we create with you!
PPS. Wanna know more about our course, which was the first step in all of us being here in Maui together?! Meet, The Photographer’s Path!
You can find out more information and sign up for the waitlist here! Doors reopen August 2nd: https://www.horizonfound.com/path

If I asked you what success really looked like to you, what would you say?
If I asked you what really mattered to you, what would you say?
If I asked you what your truest dreams were, what would you say?
And, more importantly…
…would you let yourself say it?
Would you?
Now, you might be answering, “hmmm I’m not really sure.”
And that’s okay.
But what if I told you that, regardless of how far away these things feel — this knowledge of success, these things that matter, these dreams that you have — were in you already…
…and you just had to find them?
Because, guess what? They are. And you do. And you can.
And in today's podcast episode, we’re going to find them together.
This is an episode unlike ANYTHING we’ve done before, so I hope you’ll listen and take some time for yourself today

We're often so close to our experiences, so close to the things that light us up, that we don’t even realize how we can incorporate them into our dream lives and our dream businesses.
But today on the podcast we’re diving into ALL. OF. THAT.
It’s time to realize how special you are, how incredible your story is, and how much you have to offer the world.

Photographers, have you ever turned down something that could have been amazing… because you felt a little scared?
Maybe you ...
... Said no to an event you were invited to because you thought you wouldn’t fit in.
... Didn’t sign up for that photography class because you thought you’d fail.
…Said no to that shoot opportunity because you were intimidated by the client.
If you’ve ever felt anything like this, you might be experiencing a whole lot of imposter syndrome.
AKA that pesky voice inside your head that says you’re not meant to be where you are. That you’re faking it. That you’re not good enough to succeed. That you don’t deserve it. That you’re the wrong person for the job.
Who can relate?!
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
If you’re anything like me, then you’ve been able to relate for wayyyy tooo loooong.
But … I’ve gotta ask:
Are you letting imposter syndrome affect your entire business?
Your entire life?
Are you letting it keep you from saying yes?
Are you letting it keep you from being proud of yourself?
Are you letting it keep you from finding joy in your passion?
I have to beg you, my friend… take some time to think about it.
Because life is far too short to push aside your dreams out of fear. Life is far too short to shrink yourself down so you don’t take up space. Life is far too short to sit back when you were meant to shine.
If you’ve ever let imposter syndrome take the wheel, today's podcast episode is for you.

Photographers, listen up! I've got two questions for ya today...
Question number 1: When’s the last time you wanted to pursue an amazing & creative idea but never followed through because you felt like you never had enough time?
Question number 2: How many hours a day do you spend scrolling social media?
It kinda hurts when you think about these two questions side by side, doesn't it?
It kinda hurts when we realize how much time we spend each day scrolling and looking at someone else's life, or creations, rather than living and creating our own.
Now, I’m not telling you to throw away your phone ... HECK NO.
Phones are a big part of our jobs as photographers. We need them to stay connected. What we don’t need is for our phones to control us, and suck us in.
We owe it to ourselves and to our ideas to create, to live, to step away from screens every once in a while and find that creative spark in ourselves again (even when it feels way easier to loaf on the couch and scroll).
It reminds me of this quote from Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Big Magic:
“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them. The hunt to discover those jewels––that's creative living.”
On the podcast this week I want to talk about finding your creativity again, finding that spark of magic inside you, that jewel buried deep and bringing it to life.
