    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.
