    If I've Birthed a Human, Everything Else Is Pretty Easy - Abi Buck

    Abi started her photography business eight months postpartum, mid-pandemic, on a run, with no business plan - just a feeling. In this episode we're sat in her purpose-built studio in Leicestershire - a space she designed and built from scratch in 2023 - and she's one of the most refreshingly honest guests we've had on the show. We talk about backing yourself when the world is in chaos, hitting burnout while working two jobs simultaneously, building a studio around school hours, the controversial topic of pricing, and why she measures everything against one question - does this disrupt my peace? This isn't a hustle story. It's something better. 🎧 Between Shoots is in partnership with @elevateconference.uk F O L L O W https://samdocker.co https://elevateconference.uk https://abibuckphotography.co.uk Studio Ninja - https://www.studioninja.co/ 50% off your first annual subscription with code - BETWEENSHOOTS

    We Held Each Other's Hand - Igor Demba

    Igor Demba needs no introduction. Portuguese prince. Brother from another mother. And the man I spent a year making Another Idea with - 50-plus episodes filmed, edited and shipped together. In this episode we sit down in a coffee shop in Peterborough, Igor's turf, and reflect on what that year actually taught us. About confidence, about showing up, about the skill of actually hosting a conversation. We also get into Igor's Canon ambassador relationship and how it came about, the shift from destination weddings to building a UK presence, meta ads and whether they actually work, and the never ending battle of balancing weddings with education. Honest, warm, and occasionally very funny.
