S03 E14 - Burnt Out From Wedding Photography, Anissa Dev Found Her Spark Again
Anissa Dev is a San Diego-based Couples & Family Photographer who built her business Photographing Weddings, but eventually realised the career she had created no longer aligned with the life she wanted. In this episode, Anissa shares the honest story behind why she walked away from wedding photography and how that decision opened the door to a more fulfilling path. One that includes Family Photography, Education, Content Creation, and a slower, more intentional pace of work.
We talk about the pressure to stick with Weddings even when they’re no longer sustainable and how motherhood reshaped her perspective as both a creative and a business owner. Anissa also opens up about rebuilding her business after taking time off for maternity leave and the emotional side of sharing everything online. If you're a full-time photographer or someone thinking about pivoting into a different niche, this episode is full of thoughtful insights and encouragement from someone who’s actually made the leap.
