Are you a photographer mama feeling like a crazy person just trying to balance motherhood and a photography business that just isn’t paying the bills? Wonder how you’ll ever survive when you’re seemingly a tiny fish in a quickly growing photographer sea? You KNOW God put this dream in your heart but you can’t shut up the negative self-talk as you get sucked down the comparison spiral again?

Hey friend, I’m Marina; wife, mama and family photographer saved by grace. Listen, I know the mom guilt all too well as you go from feeling guilty cause your kids need you to being frustrated cause your business does too. For years I was in a vicious burnout cycle, torturing myself with comparison, having sessions I wasn’t excited about and wondering if I could turn this creative outlet I’m so passionate about into a real-deal business that could support my family. I finally realized I didn’t have to pretend to be someone I’m not in order to get clients, and I figured out a way to create a business that lights my soul on fire, all while editing with a little one at my feet.

In this podcast you’ll find practical ways to transform your business from a time consuming (and expensive) hobby to a profitable business that you’re excited about. I wanna help you gain the confidence to walk out who God called you to be and stand out in a sea of photographers instead of just trying to fit in and follow the trends, oh yeah, AND still have time to be intentional in your motherhood.

Welcome to your safe space where we release the mom guilt and silence the negative nancy that lives in your brain rent-free. If you’re ready to ditch hustle culture, and find a photography bestie slash cheerleader along the way, you’re in the exact right place. Go find your lukewarm coffee and toss some ice in there and let’s grow your confidence.

    22 | Unrealistic Beauty Standards and the Photography Industry

    Have you ever asked yourself if we're to blame for all these unrealistic beauty standards? Today's episode I'm sure will ruffle some feathers and may be exposing the photography community as a whole but I believe it's an important topic to discuss and work on.
