    Ep. 4: Caitlin Louisa on Boudoir, Building a Team & the Marketing Behind It All

    Welcome back to Between Shifts Podcast — Episode 4, part one of our conversation with Caitlin Louisa. Caitlin's a Winnipeg-born world traveler turned luxury wedding and boudoir photographer, and this one covers a lot of ground. She takes us through playing softball in small-town North Dakota, a marketing degree that somehow involved chemistry class, a year living on a beach in New Zealand, and coming home to build one of the most recognizable photography brands in the city. We get into going full-time right before the world shut down, the rebrand that changed everything, and why bartending helped her through a serious bout of imposter syndrome. Then it's all the good photographer talk — being self-taught, whether you actually need photography school, geeking out on workflows, and her real passion: boudoir, and creating a space where women walk out feeling like the baddie they actually are. Plus building an associate team, gear debates, and the legendary 2009 Impala that refuses to die.If you're a creative building something of your own — pull up a chair. This one's for you.

    Ep. 3.5: Karina Walker Pt. 2: Destination Weddings, Mom Life & Would You Rather

    Welcome back to Between Shifts Podcast — Episode 3.5, the second half of our conversation with Karina Walker. We pick right back up and get into the good stuff: whether she'd redo her 2021 COVID wedding (spoiler — she'd go to Italy), why destination weddings in Europe can actually be cheaper than one in Winnipeg, and the Paris wedding that might be in the works. Karina breaks down her now-signature "shoot through the bus" shot, the intentional-vs-overused debate around motion blur, and why she always shows the back of the camera. Then it gets real on motherhood and the hustle — editing weddings two weeks postpartum, shooting four months after giving birth, setting boundaries on sneak peeks, and how an unconventional schedule actually means more family time. Plus wedding trends for 2026, the photographer sewing club, and a closing round of Would You Rather that gets surprisingly philosophical about emotion over perfect lighting. If you're juggling a creative career with everything else life throws at you — pull up a chair. This one's for you.

    Ep. 3: Karina Walker on Going from Video to Photo, Lighting & Destination Dreams (Part 1)

    Welcome back to Between Shifts Podcast — Episode 3, and our first ever guest. We sit down with Karina Walker: longtime ringette veteran, photographer, videographer, and a mom since 2023. Karina turned a 2020 pandemic layoff into a full photography and videography career, and she walks us through the whole climb — starting with video for small businesses, joining a styled shoot, shooting her first wedding for $500, and building the early connections that got her booked. We get into why she shifted from video to photo (less time-intensive, easier to manage without full-time childcare), how she keeps a consistent editing style, and the real talk on shooting harsh sun versus overcast — and why adaptability on a wedding day matters more than perfect conditions. Karina also opens up about what she loves about weddings, setting workload boundaries, and her recent leap into off-camera flash to better capture venues. Plus: the standout Italy wedding, chasing occasional destination work, TikTok reach and viral mishaps, and the messy reality of cancellations and double/triple weekends. If you're a creative figuring out your lane, your pricing, or your boundaries — pull up a chair. This one's for you.
