    Strategic Marketing for Photographers Who Hate Selling

    Selling doesn’t have to feel awkward or pushy. In this episode, we talk about how photographers can turn sales into conversations by building real relationships, showing up consistently, and being clear about what they offer. We cover sales language, asking for the sale without pressure, helping clients understand their “why,” and preparing them for the process so nothing feels surprising later. When trust comes first and expectations are clear, selling stops feeling like selling and starts feeling like good client care.

    Make Pictures, Don’t Just Take Them

    Making pictures isn’t about shooting more. It’s about seeing better. In this episode of Cowgirls with Cameras, we talk about moving from reacting to a scene to photographing with intention. When things feel busy or overwhelming, it’s easy to default to nonstop shooting and familiar habits. But efficiency isn’t the same as creativity. This conversation is a reminder to slow down, pay attention to light, energy, and emotion, and question the shot list you’ve always relied on. Strong images come from making choices. What matters? What doesn’t? What do you want the image to feel like? If your work has started to feel automatic, this episode will help you step out of autopilot and get back to making pictures with purpose.

    The Power of Community: Uniting Cowgirls with Cameras

    Today we’re pulling back the barn door and taking you inside our very first year of running the Cowgirls With Cameras online community. From the moment inspiration struck on a long drive home from Cottonwood, to wrestling with platform setups, to celebrating member wins, shared wisdom, and all the friendship that’s bloomed along the way… this episode is one big heart-to-heart about what it really takes to build a thriving equine photography hub in a noisy digital world. We share why we built this community, what we’ve learned, the unexpected joys, and how the space has grown into a true gathering place for equine photographers who want connection, education, and a place where they can finally tune out the noise and focus on their craft. We talk about: • Why social media wasn’t the long-term home creatives deserve • How our Resource Barn came to life (and what’s inside) • The power of member-to-member learning • Why equine photographers need a dedicated place to grow • Behind-the-scenes moments, laughs, learning curves, and triumphs • What’s coming next — lives, editing challenges, mini-lessons, and more If you're curious about joining us — or simply love hearing how real creative communities are built — this is your campfire moment.

    Conquering Resistance: The Art of Doing Hard Things in Photography

    In this episode, we saddle up and ride straight into the wild territory of doing the “hard things” — the ones that stretch you, scare you a little, and make you a better photographer and a stronger human. We talk about choosing the right kind of hard… the kind that calls to you from deep inside, not the kind the world thinks you should be doing. You’ll hear how breaking big, intimidating goals into bite-sized trail markers makes the journey not just doable, but actually fun. And we share why having a loyal posse — whether it’s a mastermind group, your creative herd, or your trail-ride buddies — can make the difference between stalling out at the gate and crossing the finish line with dusty boots and a victory grin. This one’s all about honest mindset discussions, real-talk photography growth, and finding the courage to chase the challenges that light you up. So grab your hat, tighten your cinch, and let’s ride into the good kind of hard together. Takeaways Mindset is your saddle: if it’s not cinched up right, nothing else is going to sit comfortably — in photography or business.Not all “hard things” are worth your energy. Learning to pick the ones your soul is actually craving is part of the adventure.Perfectionism? She’s the dusty outlaw trying to slow you down. Progress — even messy, crooked, imperfect progress — is what gets you across the prairie.A supportive community is your herd. Big challenges get a whole lot easier when you’re not riding that trail alone. Links referenced in this episode: cowgirlswithcameras.comcowgirlswithcameras.community
