    Your Hosts...
    Katrina Jackson is a photographer that specializes in high school seniors and teens her home studio is in Rochester, Indiana. Katrina has been photographing teens since the very beginning of her photography career. She fell in love with seniors immediately and hasn't looked back. Katrina has created a senior portrait experience that she could only have dreamed of when she was a high school senior. She is very passionate about her client experience she has created and perfected her experience over the years. Katrina has recently realized that her true gift isn’t in the pictures she creates but the service she provides her clients and attention to details she provides to all of her clients, the pictures are the cherry on top. Katrina has seen success in her teen team since she launched it in 2018. She loves seeing her teens literally mature in front of her camera over the years. Her very first teen team from 2018 has already seen 4 of those clients move into her senior team and graduate! She has now realized it’s nice having most of your seniors on your senior team be returning clients that you have already worked with for multiple years. It’s like family friends hanging out and not like work! 
    Katrina is also a 2023 PUSH Conference Speaker.

Mrs. Gambino ,

Absolutely love REAL TALK!

Our industry is fascinating and to have an elevated platform such as REAL TALK to come together, and have a serious talk about what we do is phenomenal. Senior Style Guide definitely delivers on sharing information and being resourceful. Thank you for having these REAL TALK episodes with industry professionals to share knowledge and passion for the art of photography. Sean is a great host!

The best Podcast for Senior Photography

The Real Talk Podcast is just that . . . . Real Talk. Real topics that will help photographers with their struggles, celebrate successes, and give insight to an industry that is beautiful and complex. Sean does a great job of getting to the point while making it very conversational and feel like you are sitting with two friends. Thank You Sean & Senior Style Guide for always being on the cutting edge and the front runner in this industry.

Ron Gray ,

This should be a required listen for photographers!

I REALLY enjoy listening to this podcast! Formatted as an interview of industry photographers or service providers, Sean does a great job of never making it feel stuffy or clinical, but more like you’re listening to a conversation between two friends just exchanging stories about their journeys. It’s a wonderful mix of learning about their personal life, the challenges and successes they’ve experienced, and how those experiences have influenced their business over the years. It’s refreshing to hear that the photographers many of us follow and look up to have lived through the same struggles and made the same mistakes. While you’ll likely pick up a tip or two from each episode you can apply to your business, I get much more from comparing how differently everyone operates. This drives home how important it is to realize there is no one right way to do something, and you just need to find success in what works best for you. Well done!
