    Believing in Yourself (Don't roll your eyes just yet!) - the David Carr Podcast with Marissa Schmidt 2/4/21

    If you're like me, you often cringe at the expression "Believe in Yourself". It's a cliché and an overused statement but maybe there is something to it. Marissa Schmidt and I discuss what it means to believe in your work and how to tune out those inner voices of doubt. All creatives struggle with these doubts and insecurities and sometimes we just need to get honest with ourselves and one another about them. Follow Marissa on Instagram at: @marissajeanphotography

    My Thoughts on 2020

    Let's face it, this year has been challenging in more ways than one. I have struggled to find the motivation to do much at all outside of my regular photoshoots. My podcast and my videos really took a backseat. I'm sure many of you have faced a similar lack of motivation, yourselves. As we look forward to 2021, may we all grow in our inspiration, in our creativity and in our efforts to inspire others with our work!

    I had a special opportunity to sit down with my friend Kelli Price and discuss her ongoing success as a corporate event and headshot photographer. Kelli travels quite a lot in her job and she has built a reputation for not only being a terrific photographer from a skill level but also for being so wonderful to work with that her clients keep her busy with constant work! Kelli is down to earth, light hearted but very determined in her career aspirations. This was such a fun conversation! Also, we recorded this episode at Room2Work in Roswell, GA. Room2Work is a wonderful multi-use co-working space that just so happens to have a state of the art podcast studio.

    In this episode I decided to go off the usual grid of honing in on one topic for the majority of the time. I do cover shutter speed and an example or two of where I failed to recognize how essential it is to choose the right range of shutter speed when shooting fast moving subjects.
