    We're Leaving THESE in 2025!!!! ft maegan grendell photo

    It's the first episode of the year!!! YAY! I'm kicking things off with a casual, honest conversation with my friend Maegan (@maegangrendellphoto) about the things we're officially leaving in 2025. We're talking about habits, expectations, and mindsets we picked up over the years that just don't make sense to carry into a new year. As photographers and business owners, it's easy to hold onto things out of fear, pressure, or "this is how it's always been done" thinking, and we get real about what we're choosing to let go of instead. This episode feels like sitting on the couch talking it out, not a list of resolutions or a big motivational speech. Just a real conversation to start the year feeling lighter, more clear headed, and reminded that you don't have to bring everything with you into what's next. _______ 🎉MENTORSHIPS If you're craving direction in your photo business, want real, honest guidance, or just wanna hang with me in person—my 1:1 mentorships are open (in person or virtual)! https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/services LET'S CONNECT 🫶 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexblakephoto TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/Alexblakephoto Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexblakephotography STUFF I SWEAR BY 🫡 My Gear, Bible Stuff, + Life Faves: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alexblakeotto Pass Gallery – 1 Month Free: https://alexblakephotography.passgallery.com/referral AI Editing (30-Day Free Trial): https://aftershoot.com/friends/?ref=alexotto HoneyBook Discount (Get organized!): https://share.honeybook.com/alex89263 Merch, Presets, & More: https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/ PHOTO CAMP INFO 🌊⛺️  https://www.photocampinfo.com DON'T FORGET! 🎙️ Rate, review & subscribe to the pod to stay inspired + support the show!

    what i've learned going to photography retreats :)

    Photography retreats can feel intimidating at first. Like you need to be more experienced, more confident, or have everything figured out before you go. Spoiler alert: you don't. In this episode, I'm sharing what I've actually learned from going to photography retreats over the years. The awkward first day energy, how much you learn just by watching other photographers shoot, why Instagram confidence disappears the second you meet people in real life, and why styled shoots feel so creatively freeing. If you've ever thought about going to a retreat but felt nervous, unsure, or like you might not fit in, this one's for you. It's light, honest, and very real.

    wait, I'm pregnant?? (the art of surrender)

    After walking through infertility for nearly three years, I was preparing for surgery — and just two days after publicly opening up about that journey for the first time, we found out we were pregnant. A literal miracle. But this episode isn't just about the miracle. It's about what surrender really looks like — in life, in business, and in faith. Because even now, I'm still learning that being pregnant isn't the finish line of infertility… it's another opportunity to trust God fully. Today I'm sharing how surrender has shaped every part of my story — from trusting Him with finances when I wasn't booking shoots, to redefining what success means as I prepare for motherhood. If you're in a season of waiting, pivoting, or releasing control, this one's for you. 🎉MENTORSHIPS If you're craving direction in your photo business, want real, honest guidance, or just wanna hang with me in person—my 1:1 mentorships are open (in person or virtual)! https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/services LET'S CONNECT 🫶 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexblakephoto TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/Alexblakephoto Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexblakephotography STUFF I SWEAR BY 🫡 My Gear, Bible Stuff, + Life Faves: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alexblakeotto Pass Gallery – 1 Month Free: https://alexblakephotography.passgallery.com/referral AI Editing (30-Day Free Trial): https://aftershoot.com/friends/?ref=alexotto HoneyBook Discount (Get organized!): https://share.honeybook.com/alex89263 Merch, Presets, & More: https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/ PHOTO CAMP INFO 🌊⛺️  https://www.photocampinfo.com DON'T FORGET! 🎙️ Rate, review & subscribe to the pod to stay inspired + support the show!

    So you're thinking about going full time with your creative business… or maybe you already have and you're realizing it's a lot more than just taking pretty pictures. In today's episode, I'm sharing 10 things I wish I knew before I made the leap into full-time photography. From learning how to set boundaries, diversify income, and protect your creativity, to trusting God when things feel uncertain — this one's packed with the kind of wisdom I wish someone had told me earlier. Whether you're dreaming about leaving your 9 to 5 or you're already in the middle of the grind, I hope this episode gives you clarity, encouragement, and the reminder that you're not alone in figuring it all out! Because going full-time isn't the finish line — it's the starting line 🙂 _______ 🎉MENTORSHIPS If you're craving direction in your photo business, want real, honest guidance, or just wanna hang with me in person—my 1:1 mentorships are open (in person or virtual)! https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/services LET'S CONNECT 🫶 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexblakephoto TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/Alexblakephoto Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexblakephotography STUFF I SWEAR BY 🫡 My Gear, Bible Stuff, + Life Faves: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alexblakeotto Pass Gallery – 1 Month Free: https://alexblakephotography.passgallery.com/referral AI Editing (30-Day Free Trial): https://aftershoot.com/friends/?ref=alexotto HoneyBook Discount (Get organized!): https://share.honeybook.com/alex89263 Merch, Presets, & More: https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/ PHOTO CAMP INFO 🌊⛺️  https://www.photocampinfo.com DON'T FORGET! 🎙️ Rate, review & subscribe to the pod to stay inspired + support the show!

    you're not FAILING, you're REFINING!

    Have you ever felt like you're taking a step backward in your business? Like things that used to flow easily suddenly feel slow, quiet, or uncertain? In today's episode, I'm sharing about what it really means to walk through a season of refinement — and how I've learned that those hard seasons aren't wasted ones. From rebuilding my business after moving from Georgia to Charleston, to seeing God's hand in the quiet in-between, I'm reminded that refinement isn't failure. It's formation. We'll talk about what refinement looks like, how to recognize when you're in it, and how to lean into the process instead of rushing through it. Because sometimes the seasons that feel like falling behind are actually the ones that make you the strongest! _______ 🎉MENTORSHIPS If you're craving direction in your photo business, want real, honest guidance, or just wanna hang with me in person—my 1:1 mentorships are open (in person or virtual)! https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/services LET'S CONNECT 🫶 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexblakephoto TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/Alexblakephoto Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexblakephotography STUFF I SWEAR BY 🫡 My Gear, Bible Stuff, + Life Faves: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alexblakeotto Pass Gallery – 1 Month Free: https://alexblakephotography.passgallery.com/referral AI Editing (30-Day Free Trial): https://aftershoot.com/friends/?ref=alexotto HoneyBook Discount (Get organized!): https://share.honeybook.com/alex89263 Merch, Presets, & More: https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/ PHOTO CAMP INFO 🌊⛺️  https://www.photocampinfo.com DON'T FORGET! 🎙️ Rate, review & subscribe to the pod to stay inspired + support the show!
