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.

Zoe Joy Mobbs, a Newborn & Family Photographer, joins me on the podcast to share her journey of turning a lifelong passion into a thriving creative business. Zoe opens up about how her personal experiences with fertility struggles & motherhood have shaped the emotional connection she brings to her work. We also dive into the realities of running a photography business in a small town where competition is high and word of mouth spreads quickly. Zoe did something crazy last year by lowering her pricing structure and it actually transformed her business for the better. We also talk about the importance of human interaction and how staying true to yourself is the key for long-term success. Whether you're a photographer or creative business owner, you'll find plenty of practical advice and heartfelt inspiration in this episode.
