Listener Story: Kara Joy, Part 1

Kara Rodriguez: Hey there! I'm Kara. I'm a Family Lifestyle Photographer in Maple Grove, MN. I first discovered my love for storytelling with writing. I started writing books around the time I learned to ride a bike! And I published my first book in 2012. In my books I talk about some pretty personal stuff, like my faith, my history of childhood abuse, and my experiences as a new mom. My love for stories has continued with photography. And just like my writing, I want my photos to be authentic, vulnerable, and filled with emotion.I’ve tried very hard on numerous occasions to put myself in a box, but every time I attempt it I pull a muscle or run out of duct tape. I love sugar, but I hate sugar-coating anything. I’m a social introvert. (I like people. I also like it when they go away.) I’m an empathetic engineer. A vegetarian who has no problem slaying some fish. I have a deep affection for pizza. I also run for fun. And I know what it's like to be a full-time working mom and a stir-crazy stay-at-home mom. Finally, I'm a rule-following lover of Jesus forever unlearning religion, always reminding myself that I can't earn grace.Websitekarajoyphoto.comFacebook & Instagram@kjphotocoBooksMy Father's ShadowGot Milked Photo Business Help Notes: 👉Get the "8 Things To Grow" freebie HERE.💙 Join our FB group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/photobizhelp/50% off Flodesk for life: https://photobusineshelp.com/flodesk50% off first year of Honeybook: https://jennings.photo/honeybookGet your first month of PicTime FREE. https://jennings.photo/pictimeLeave A Review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/photo-business-help/id1462340415Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/photobizhelp/Contact Natalie: [email protected] by: simplecastproduced by: Fullcast
