If you are you a busy Mama ready to take the leap to paid photographer and wondering how you are going to manage both a family and a business, you’re in the right place! With 23 years experience as a photographer and a Mom of kids who are now 21, 19, and 16 that were born during those early years, I know all too well the struggle of building a business while growing a family.
I don’t want you to have to figure it out alone. I created the The Idea to Income Photography Podcast with Michelle Kuzmick so Momtogs just like you, could skip all the trials, errors and late night tears to get right to the good stuff: having a steady business income and a thriving family.
Take my hand each week as I help you navigate the journey of motherhood and entrepreneurship by sharing with you the same practical solutions, systems, and strategies I personally used to build a business and life I loved.
I can’t wait to help you turn your camera into a profit-generating business and start living your dream life!
As a photographer, you know that your client's images are your most valuable asset. They're the stories of your client's lives. I believe it’s not only our job to create those images, but it’s our job to make sure they're protected and preserved for years to come. In today’s episode I’m sharing about a huge break I made from the professional photography industry platforms in terms of sharing and protecting my client’s images and the feedback from my clients has been amazing.

After 23 years in business, I’ve learned a lot about how to be successful in this business, and one of the most important things I've learned is that you don't have to work long hours to be successful.
