Momtogs you're doing a good job! I'm not just talking to the hobby shooters (though you're doing a great job too) but to the huge population of wildly talented, super busy, keep all the balls in the air kids to school lunches prepped laundry folded while also shooting editing and absolutely slaying the photography world women out there. This episode was supposed to be for you - and then, April started talking and I realized...

--We all need to hear this stuff.--

An episode full of truth and totally relatable stories and struggles and tiny wins from April Payne, a Houston based wedding and portrait photographer who is as humble as she is talented. So many people in this industry come to the end of fall and absolutely collapse from exhaustion. We burn ourselves out every year trying to strike while the irons hot in our minds but this episode really opens up the truth of how quickly success can show up when you just keep moving the needle forward a little at a time and surround yourself with people who believe in you.

April's perspectives here are absolutely powerful. "I can do the scary stuff" is a mantra that has taken her from a brand new photographer to a completely in demand brand in only a few years all while managing to keep her marriage, her home, and her family front of mind. This interview is a great chance to reset our priorities coming into the holidays and a slower season for most of the photo industry and audit our goals and who we're surrounding ourselves with for support.
