They dig into: The specific launches that didn't hit — and what they thought would happen versus what actually didThe warning signs they missed (or ignored) along the wayWhat they misunderstood about their audience, offer, or timingThe mindset spiral that comes after a launch underperforms — and how they moved through itWhat they now do differently before, during, and after a launch because of these lessonsWhy this episode matters: Nobody shows the launches that don't work — just the wins. This episode pulls back the curtain on the messy middle, so other photographers and creative entrepreneurs can skip a few of the same mistakes.

    The $100K Month — What We'd Actually Do With It

    In this episode, Sarah and Kellie get honest about money — specifically, what happens the moment a $100,000 month becomes real. It's not just a numbers conversation; it's about mindset, identity, and what abundance actually feels like when you let yourself imagine it fully. They dig into: The first thing each of them would buy — and why that purchase says more than it seemsHow they'd actually spend and allocate the money (business reinvestment vs. personal life vs. just plain fun)What it would feel like in their bodies to hit that number — the emotional and nervous-system side of receivingThe stories and blocks that come up around "deserving" that kind of monthHow thinking through this hypothetical shifts what becomes possible in real lifeWhy this episode matters: Money conversations are often reduced to spreadsheets. This one is different — it's a permission slip to actually picture the life on the other side of a big goal, and to notice what comes up when you do.

    What Nobody Tells You About Your First Real Estate Client

    What if your next biggest income stream wasn't something you went looking for — but something that found you? In this episode Sarah sits down with Kellie to talk about the real story behind her real estate photography business. Not the marketing strategy. Not the perfectly planned pivot. The accidental yes that turned into five years of consistent weekday income from one agent relationship — and what that has actually meant for her business and her life. Sarah shares how a simple conversation with her friend Lori — who needed a photographer instead of a graphic designer — completely changed the trajectory of her business. Five years later Lori's agency of ten brokers calls Sarah week after week without Sarah ever having to chase a single booking. Homes are selling in twelve to twenty four hours. One recent listing received five accepted offers within twelve hours of going live. This episode is for the portrait photographer who has been curious about real estate photography but isn't sure if it's for them. The photographer who is tired of slow season anxiety. The photographer who wants a revenue stream that shows up consistently without constant marketing. What you'll hear in this episode will change how you think about what's actually possible in your business.

    The Content Tool We Didn't Know We Needed - Kellie's One Take System

    In this episode of The Raw Edit Podcast, Sarah and Kellie dig into Kellie's brand new product — the One Take System — a custom ChatGPT tool built specifically for photographers who are great behind the camera but dread the content creation that comes after. The concept is simple but powerful: after your session, you open ChatGPT, leave one voice note talking about what you just shot, and the system does the rest. We're talking a full Yoast SEO-optimized blog post, social media captions, reels, shorts, alt text, meta descriptions — all from one voice note. Say it once, use it everywhere. Kellie opens up about why she built the One Take System in the first place — because she lived the frustration herself. She breaks down exactly who it's for, what the output looks like in real life, and why every photographer needs a content system that works as hard as they do. Sarah shares how she's already been using it across ten senior sessions and what the experience has actually looked like in practice. If you've been curious whether a tool like this can really sound like you and hold up in the real world, this conversation is going to answer that. This episode is a must-listen for photographers who: Shoot great sessions but never get around to blogging themSpend more time staring at a blank caption box than actually creatingWant to show up consistently online without burning outIf content creation has been the thing that falls off your plate every single week, this one is going to feel like a solution you didn't know existed.

    This Is Why You’ve Never Felt Productive — Part 1: Human Design Explained

    In this episodie of the RAW Edit Podcast, Sarah and Kellie dive into human design for photographers and unpack why so many creatives feel frustrated with traditional productivity advice. They explore the five human design types — manifesting generators, generators, manifestors, projectors, and reflectors — and how each one approaches creativity, decision-making, and work differently. Sarah shares her experience as a manifesting generator and how understanding her design helped her reframe her tendency to dive deep into projects before moving on. Instead of seeing this pattern as a weakness, Sarah now recognizes it as a powerful strength that fuels innovation and momentum in her photography business. Kellie opens up about how applying human design principles transformed her editing workflow. By honoring her need for comfort, warmth, and auditory stimulation, she discovered a more sustainable and enjoyable way to stay focused. A major theme of the episode is trusting your gut over logic — especially for photographers with sacral authority. Sarah and Kellie emphasize that your body often knows what’s right before your mind catches up, and learning to listen to those cues can lead to better creative and business decisions. This episode is a must-listen for photographers who: • Feel stuck trying to follow rigid systems • Struggle with consistency but thrive in creative bursts • Want permission to work differently without guilt If you’ve ever wondered why “just be disciplined” advice never works for you, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
