Have you ever thought about what it feels like to be the client instead of the photographer? On this week's Joycast, I'm pulling back the curtain on a personal experience: my daughter's wedding.  For once, I wasn't the one behind the lens, and let me tell you… It gave me a whole new perspective on what we do as photographers.

Have you ever sat at your desk late at night, exhausted from editing photos, you peek at your neverending to-do list and wonder why all this hard work doesn't add up to more joy or money?   On this week's Joycast, I share something that's helped so many of my students save money and make their photography businesses feel easier to manage.   The secret? Tax deductions. I know, I know. Tax stuff might sound boring, but trust me, it's a lifesaver once you get it. I'll explain::   What tax write-offs really mean (it's not as confusing as it sounds!) How to put savings back into your business to make life a little easier Simple, real-life examples of how this works so it all makes sense   Imagine writing off the gear you've been eyeing, saving money on things you're already paying for, and feeling less stressed about your finances! Grab a cup of coffee (or wine), settle in, and let's chat about how to make your money work for you in your photography business.

We live in a day and age where stress, fear, worry, and anxiety are running rampant in our culture and society. However, these factors are not a part of the abundant life and plan in which God destines for you to experience. However, II Corinthians 10:5 reminds us of a strategy to overcome the negative, maladaptive thoughts in our lives by stating, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Joining us today to provide additional guidance and wisdom from this passage is a renowned speaker, author, and Bible teacher, Margaret Feinberg. Host of the popular podcast, The Joycast, Margaret Feinberg is a popular Bible teacher and speaker at churches and leading conferences such as Extraordinary Women, Thrive and Women of Joy. She is also the creator of best-selling coloring and creative books for grown ups. Her other books, including  Scouting the Divine, Fight Back With Joy, Taste and See: Discovering God Among Butchers, Bakers and Fresh Food Makers, and their corresponding Bible studies, have sold over one million copies and received critical acclaim and extensive national media coverage from CNN, the Associated Press, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and more. She was recently named one of 50 women most shaping culture and the church today by Christianity Today. Margaret lives in Utah with her husband, Leif, and their superpup, Zoom. She believes some of the best days are spent around a table with amazing food and friends. Our prayer is that you would be educated, encouraged, and equipped with practical tips and strategies to take every thought captive in your life as well no matter the season you may find yourself in.  Margaret's Website: https://margaretfeinberg.com/about/  The Joycast: https://margaretfeinberg.com/joycast  Margaret's Books & Bible Studies: https://www.margaretfeinbergstore.com/collections/all  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
