This weeks' podcast episode is unusual, in that I recorded it whilst out in the woods walking my dog. I had an idea, grabbed my phone, and recorded it as a voice memo. That's why the audio is not as good as usual... but think of it as a voice note from me to you! It can be so hard to know where the balance shoot be between creative flow, impulse, and planning. How do you get a good balance of one or the other? I'm hoping that this short and sweet episode will help to answer that question for you.

TikTok is blowing up. Reels is new and is rumoured to kill off TikTok. I have no idea about that, but what I do know is that in the 9 months that I've been consistently using TikTok, I've seen some massive growth and I'm enjoying using the app. In this episode, I share some tips on how to use TikTok and Reels, and why you might want to consider using them for your own business.

As fashion photographers (and people!) one of the biggest things we struggle with is the fear of rejection. I know, because I fear it myself.
