040: The One About Johnny

This episode starts with a dad who nearly broke me as a baby photographer…and ends with a different dad wrapping his arm around me saying,“There’s just something about you.”What happened in between? A transformation, happened... one that I've been living inside of for years. Inside this episode, I dive into:• The surprising reason dads shut down on shoots• The energy photographers feel from men but rarely talk about• The moment “Johnny” challenged me — and the exact second everything shifted• Why your photoshoot is your sales room (whether you realize it or not)• The subtle, playful disruptors that move clients out of logic and into emotion If you’ve ever shrunk under a dad’s energy, lost control of a session, or felt thrown off in the sales room… this episode connects every dot.
