Have you built an elopement photography business that looks good on paper, but doesn't feel good to live? If you've been following all the "right" steps: booking clients, growing your business, doing what you think you're supposed to do, but still feel drained, stuck, or disconnected, this episode is for you. So many elopement photographers end up building businesses based on what they see others doing, instead of what actually lights them up. And over time, that leads to burnout, frustration, and a business that doesn't feel aligned with the life you want. In this replay from the early days of the podcast, we dive into a question you should be asking yourself when deciding what to focus on in your business: What actually makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning? When you start monitoring the things that drain you of energy vs. the things that light you up, it becomes very clear what you should be including more of in your life, and what you should be saying goodbye to. Tune in now to learn how following your energy can change everything in your elopement photography business.

It is estimated that more than 50% of children on the autism spectrum are at risk for wandering away from there home and caregivers. The number one cause of death for children on the spectrum is drowning…after having eloped. The #2 cause of death for children on the spectrum is being struck by a car…after eloping. What can be done about this? How can parents keep their children safe? On today's show Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh answers viewer questions about elopement and how to teach safety to children.
Children with autism face increased safety risks, including wandering, drowning, fire emergencies, PICA, and traffic dangers. In this podcast, Dr. Mary Barbera and Dr. Amy Foxman explain why safety skills should be a top priority and how parents and professionals can begin teaching them using practical, evidence-based strategies like Behavior Skills Training. They also highlight the SAFE-T Assessment, a free tool that helps identify a child's most urgent safety risks so families can take meaningful steps to improve safety, independence, and emergency preparedness.
If you've been working hard in your elopement photography business, but still not seeing the bookings you've been hoping for, it can feel really discouraging, especially when you see others post about the success they're having. The truth is, building a successful elopement photography business doesn't happen overnight. It takes time, repetition, and the willingness to push through the uncomfortable "messy middle" that every entrepreneur experiences. In this episode, we dive into the reality behind building a thriving elopement photography business and why the slow, foundational work most photographers overlook is actually what leads to long-term success. We talk about why finding success as an elopement photographer takes longer than most people realize, why what's happening behind the scenes in your business is setting you up for success, and how pushing through the uncomfortable stages of growth leads to a business that eventually feels easier and more sustainable.

Do you ever say to yourself, "I should probably lower my prices because I'm not getting booked. It must be the economy." What if I told you it wasn't your pricing that's impacting your elopement photography business, but rather your marketing?

In fact, there are couples who are investing $6k-$10k for their elopements right now! We dive into why it's your marketing and not your pricing that's hurting your business, how your sales funnel, including visibility, website conversions, and sales calls, directly impacts your bookings, and what successful elopement photographers are doing differently to attract couples who are excited to invest in their experience.

We're back from our winter break to start off 2026 with a couple of fairy tales our wonderful listeners suggested! Kelsey reads the Japanese tale, The Cat's Elopement, and it's as adorable as you'd imagine. Next she regales the Portuguese fairy tale, The Enchanted Maiden, and it's not exactly the story our listener suggested and we're sorry. Abbie cold-reads an absolutely delightful German tale from Schleswig-Holstein that follows an old woman minding her own business before heading to bed called One, Two, Three.
Have you seen the "Where were you in 2016?" trend on Instagram? I've been seeing it everywhere, and when I look back at that year, it's literally the year that changed everything for me. In this episode, I open up about what 2016 looked like for me, which was the year I launched Hazel & Lace Photography and the same year my life was completely derailed by a serious car accident, chronic pain, burnout, and a ton of medical debt. When everything else felt uncertain, photography became the one thing that gave me purpose. This conversation is for anyone building a business while life is throwing curveballs, whether it's working a demanding job, navigating health or financial stress, or feeling like you're behind everyone else. It's an honest reminder that success is rarely linear and that building something meaningful often happens alongside hardship, not after it. If you're questioning your timeline or wondering if it's worth continuing, this episode will remind you why you started in the first place.

SHOW 11-28-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1963 The Genius of Early Photography: Nadar, Daguerre, and Dangerous Chemistry — Anika Burgess — Burgess details the risky and adventurous origins of photography as a practical medium. She examines Nadar, a visionary figure who deployed a giant balloon named Léon to fund experiments in heavier-than-air flight, having previously conducted innovative photographic expeditions into Paris's catacombs. Burgess also recounts Daguerre's 1839 presentation of the daguerreotype—a remarkably realistic, singular image created using hazardous chemicals including iodine and mercury, which posed significant occupational and health risks to early practitioners. Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgessexplores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. Photography and Social Justice: Riis, Watkins, and the Question of Truth — Anika Burgess — Burgessdemonstrates how photography became a transformative tool for social advocacy and reform. Jacob Riis, a newspaper journalist documenting Manhattan's tenement poverty, employed flash powder ignited in cast-iron frying pans to photograph the grim, overcrowded interior conditions of slums for his landmark book How the Other Half Lives, frequently without obtaining subject consent. Burgess also discusses Carleton Watkins, who transported over 2,000 pounds of large-format photographic equipment to Yosemite Valley, producing images that proved instrumental in securing federal preservation and protection of the landscape. From X-Rays to Motion Pictures: Expanding the Photographic Medium — Anika Burgess — Burgess traces the expansion of photographic technology beyond conventional image capture. She examines Alice Austin'sintimate and playful photographs documenting her social circle with candid authenticity. The discovery of X-raysby Wilhelm Röntgen was rapidly branded as "the new photography" or "shadow photography," adopted swiftly for both entertainment and medical diagnostic applications despite practitioners possessing no understanding of severe radiation hazards. Burgess concludes with Paul Martin's candid street photography using concealed cameras hidden within top hats and Eadweard Muybridge's sequential motion studies, which directly enabled the invention of motion pictures. Angelica Schuyler: Albany, Elopement, and the Start of the Revolution — Molly Beer — Beer discusses her book Angelica, focusing on Angelica Schuyler Church, daughter of General Philip Schuyler. Her mother, Katherine, oversaw construction of their Albany residence, The Pastures, a substantial estate reflecting family prominence. Angelica received a rigorous education consistent with Dutch cultural traditions emphasizing women's financial and business literacy for family management. In 1777, during Burgoyne's invasion of New York, Angelica profoundly disappointed her mother by eloping with John Carter, an Englishman she found intellectually engaging and cosmopolitan. Angelica and the Founders: The Revolution and the Hamilton Connection — Molly Beer — Beer examines Angelica's pivotal role during the American Revolution, including her service alongside Rochambeau's army, traveling to Yorktown shortly after delivering her third child. Her sister Elizabeth ("Betsy") married Alexander Hamilton, who deliberately married into the prominent Schuyler family to elevate his social standing and political prospects. Following the war, Angelica's eldest son, Philip, founded the town of Angelica in western New York, the community where Beer herself was subsequently raised. Angelica in Europe: John Church, London Society, and Diplomacy — Molly Beer — Following ratification of the peace treaty, Angelica and her husband sailed to Paris to collect outstanding payments owed by the Frenchgovernment. John Carter leveraged the wartime amnesty to settle accumulated debts, reconcile with his estranged family, and legally adopt the name John Barker Church. Angelica relocated to London's elegant Mayfairneighborhood, where she established herself as a prominent American patriot. She strategically positioned herself at the intersection of cultural and diplomatic negotiations, entertaining influential figures including Lafayette and the Adamses, while exerting subtle influence over American diplomatic representatives toward negotiated peace. Angelica's Later Life: Return, Tragedy, and Founding Angelica, NY — Molly Beer — Angelica visited the United States for President Washington's 1789 inauguration but quickly returned to London, disappointed that the nascent republic fell short o Woke Capitalism: Origins, ESG, DEI, and the Power of BlackRock — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinotraces the origins of "woke capitalism," detailing how corporate America shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. L The Flashpoints of Woke Capitalism: Occupy Wall Street and the SEC — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoidentifies the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing progressive populist backlash, including the Occupy Wall Streetencampment at Zuccotti Park, as pivotal flashpoints accelerating corporate woke adoption.... Disney and ESPN: Running a Blue Company in a Red State — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino analyzes the radicalization of the Walt Disney Company, noting that CEO Bob Iger brought progressive cultural affinities while the company.... Go Woke, Go Broke: The Financial Backlash and Corporate Retreat — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoreports that woke capitalism is experiencing significant financial retrenchment as corporations suffer bottom-line consequences... Freedom's Forge: FDR, WWII Mobilization, and Bill Knudsen — Arthur Herman — Herman discusses his book Freedom's Forge, detailing the extraordinary challenge FDR confronted in May 1940 to prepare America for modern industrial warfare. The preeminent industrialist summoned for this task was Bill Knudsen, CEO of General Motors. Knudsen, a Danish immigrant and former Ford executive, possessed unparalleled expertise in flexible mass production—the capacity to modify production line processes continuously while maintaining output. Knudsen applied these revolutionary manufacturing techniques to transform the American automobile industry into an "Arsenal of Democracy," producing critical war materiel including military trucks and armored tanks. Henry Kaiser: The Builder of Liberty Ships — Arthur Herman — Herman profiles Henry Kaiser, the second transformative figure in Freedom's Forge. Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints. In late 1940, Kaiser persuaded both Britishand American governments to contract him to construct "throwaway freighters"—Liberty ships—despite possessing no prior shipbuilding experience. Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. The B-29 Superfortress and the Battle of Omaha — Arthur Herman — Herman recounts the genesis of the B-29 Superfortress bomber, conceived after General Hap Arnold consulted with Charles Lindbergh in 1939. The B-29 represented the ultimate expression of air supremacy doctrine, demanding revolutionary technologies including pressurized crew cabins and remote-controlled gun turrets that did not yet exist. Bill Knudsen directed the program, overcoming severe delays and persistent technical deficiencies. Knudsen won the "Battle of Omaha" by insisting that aircraft be extensively modified after assembly to achieve operational flight status, thereby integrating a massive female industrial workforce into B-29 production processes. Lessons from WWII: Unleashing Private Enterprise — Arthur Herman — Herman explores the strategic tension during WWII between New Deal administrators favoring centralized government command and industrialists prioritizing private sector innovation and operational flexibility. FDR and Knudsen learned from the disastrous centralized economic control failures of WWI, choosing instead to permit American private enterprise to "determine production methodologies and develop solutions for urgent national requirements." The fundamental secret to Allied victory was unleashing private sector dynamism, entrepreneurial expertise, and competitive energy. Herman draws contemporary parallels, arguing that modern defense strategy must replicate this model, contrasting bureaucratic NASA operations with innovative private enterprises including SpaceX.
Angelica Schuyler: Albany, Elopement, and the Start of the Revolution — Molly Beer — Beer discusses her book Angelica, focusing on Angelica Schuyler Church, daughter of General Philip Schuyler. Her mother, Katherine, oversaw construction of their Albany residence, The Pastures, a substantial estate reflecting family prominence. Angelica received a rigorous education consistent with Dutch cultural traditions emphasizing women's financial and business literacy for family management. In 1777, during Burgoyne's invasion of New York, Angelica profoundly disappointed her mother by eloping with John Carter, an Englishman she found intellectually engaging and cosmopolitan. 1758 FORT TICONDEROGA

If you've been in the messy middle of your elopement photography business, you know how defeating it can feel. You're showing up, posting blogs, and running ads, but you're still not getting the bookings you've been hoping for. My returning guest, California-based elopement photographer Kristin Smith, has been there too. Fast forward to today, and she is officially a six-figure elopement photographer! In this episode, Kristin shares how she went from having zero bookings in 2025 to earning $105,000, and the year isn't even over! She dives into the mindset shifts that helped her move from scarcity to abundance and how learning to say no to unaligned clients created space for her dream couples.

If you don't think being an elopement photographer is political, think again. Between working on public lands, photographing queer couples, and running businesses as women, we are exercising freedoms that people literally fought for, and freedoms that could easily be taken away from us. We dive into specifics about how politics and elopement photography are intertwined, why we feel so grateful for the freedoms we have today, and different ways we can honor those freedoms not only in our businesses but in our lives. This isn't about one side versus the other; it's about staying aware of what's happening with the things that deeply matter to us and our couples. Tune in now to hear why our job as elopement photographers is more political and powerful than you might realize.

Can you imagine capturing an elopement as both the videographer and the photographer at the same time? How about running your elopement photography business without social media? In Todd's first solo interview, he interviews Caleb Clayton to talk about how he and his wife, Amy, run their business with zero social media and are still getting inquiries. Caleb shares how he and Amy seamlessly balance photo and video to deliver unforgettable elopement experiences and why stepping away from social media actually helped him attract more quality couples. If you've been feeling burnt out by social media or pressured to constantly post just to stay visible, Caleb's story will show you that it is possible to simplify your marketing and focus on connections rather than the algorithm.

During this super important conversation, we talk about steps you can take to create more inclusive spaces in your elopement photography business, the importance of educating yourself and amplifying queer voices, and some powerful ways to take action.

It's been two and a half years since we released our very first podcast episode, which is crazy to think about, and a lot has changed since then. If you haven't gone all the way back to the first episode, you may not know our story, so we figured it was the perfect time to reintroduce ourselves and share where life has taken us. We are getting personal in this episode by giving you an inside look at how Todd and I met, what got us into elopements, how our lives have changed, why we started the podcast in the first place, and where we see it heading in the future. If you've been listening to us for a while, thank you for sticking with us. If you're new here, then welcome!
