Think making money from elopements is impossible? My guest today is here to bust that myth. Vanessa Halliday is an elopement photographer based in the white mountains of New Hampshire. She went from studying kinesiology to being a struggling wedding photographer to having a thriving elopement photography business on the East Coast, and she is sharing her story of how she did it.   During the conversation, Vanessa opens up about the challenges she faced in 2023 of being overworked, relying on social media to get bookings, and having crippling anxiety and depression. However, through all of the struggles, she found a turning point.   She invested in a business coach and manifested her goals, which helped her achieve the success she had always hoped for. Vanessa went from making $18K in 2023 to already booking $110K in elopements this year alone! Now, she's booked with clients she loves, traveling to national parks, and hoping to retire her fiancé within the next 5 years.   She also gives advice to those on the fence about pivoting from weddings to elopements - Take the biggest deep breath of your life and dive in head first. Figure out a way to go and invest in yourself because if you do the work intentionally, you'll absolutely change the inner workings of your business, your mind, and how you operate as a human, and you will find success. ‌ In this episode, we chat about: Vanessa's backstory - how she went from kinesiology to photography Why Vanessa's 2023 was so tough and the difference 2024 has been Busting the myth that you can make money with elopements The turning point for Vanessa that made her realize this was going to be successful Overcoming comparison How Vanessa was able to convert elopement couples when she hadn't photographed a ton of elopements Vanessa's advice for those who want to pivot into elopements ‌ Connect with Vanessa: Instagram: @‌vanessa_halliday Website: vanessahalliday.com     Connect with Megan:

As elopement photographers, our job is more important than you may think. Yes, we are taking beautiful photos, but it's so much more than that.

Yeow! Tej here and I'm super STOKED to bring you this free-flowing conversation with Jason Rosander aka author of the book “Your Mind Is A Prison.”  And that's largely because:  He is one of my favorite tweeters.  Not because his tweets make me feel all warm and comfortable. But because they stab me in the heart and wake me up from the deep slumber that I mistook for life.  (Go scroll his feed and you'll see what I mean.) In addition to the above, I also wanted to run this conversation because the majority of people you see online (including me at times) who are pushing content related to enlightenment/spirituality… Are usually wrapped up in ego and/or are people who became “coaches” without having really walked the path fully themselves.  Jason isn't like that. At all.  He's done the deep and difficult work on himself and made it through the mind and into reality where all the magic resides.  So getting the opportunity to run this pod with him was a real joy and I'm even more grateful to be able to share it with you.  Inside, we talked about: Why mindset work aka changing your mindset is a waste of time (and how to move beyond it) How your life aligns when you no longer need it to align How to develop the courage to stop managing reality  Importance of sitting still and feeling what you don't want to feel Fake spirituality vs. real awakening  Jason's awakening/personal stories And so much more.  So give it a listen and let me know how it lands for you?  It's a BANGER! Your friend,  /tej P.S. For more on Jason, check out the below: Bio: Jason is a Veteran, Former Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and a climber of mountains. After his mother was murdered while he was in Afghanistan, and an injury that led him to question many things about life, Jason became a student of the mind, and why we do what we do. Specifically, he wanted to understand why we are all so tormented by it. The path was long but has led him to here. Links: Book X Newsletter YouTube

Now retired from pro racing, Alex keeps that competitive fire alive by pushing himself physically and sharing what he's learned through his company, Troll Training. He's helping motocross racers and athletes at all levels take their performance to the next level. This is Alex Martin's story—and how he continues to leave his mark on the sport beyond his racing career.Gypsy Gang!

Born in 1944 in Queensland, Australia, Bob McTavish started surfing at age 12 on a 16-foot plywood paddle board. Best known as a surfboard shaper, he started working with Sydney's biggest board builders at age 17, then became a major player in the shortboard revolution. He worked closely with George Greenough and Nat Young, helping Young design “Magic Sam,” the thinner, lighter, shorter longboard that would win Young the 1966 World Championships in San Diego, California. In 1967, McTavish produced the first vee bottom, nicknamed the “Plastic Machine.” Shortly thereafter, he and Young were seen tearing it up at Honolua Bay in Paul Witzig's The Hot Generation. In the late '70s, McTavish wrote several essays for surf magazines talking up the long- and mid-range boards he was shaping. In 2009, Bob penned Stoked!, his memoir. Now in his eighties, a father of five and a grandfather, McTavish is still actively shaping and surfing. In this episode of Soundings, McTavish sits down with Jamie Brisick inside his factory to talk about his prolific shaping career, stowing away to Oahu, Magic Sam, The Hot Generation, Dick Brewer, and his most memorable moments in the water.

Are you tired of relying on referrals and trying to post on social media 24/7 just to stay visible, and you're still not booking enough elopement couples? If that's the case, you don't have a booking problem, you have a marketing problem. But I promise there's a better way to show up that doesn't lead to burnout, and that's omnipresent marketing - a smarter and more sustainable way to show up across multiple platforms, because let's face it, if people don't know you're out there, they can't book you.   In this episode, I break down why every elopement photographer needs omnipresent marketing, the role each platform plays, how to repurpose your content and show up across multiple platforms without going crazy, and the underrated power of YouTube for your business.   If you're ready to be seen, booked, and trusted—without having to post constantly—this one's for you.

In fact, it's actually the time to keep pushing through!   In this episode, I'm joined by Kristin Smith, a California-based elopement photographer who has been exactly where you are. She opens up about her experience navigating the messy middle, how she was able to push through the self-doubt, and why investing more into her business made all the difference.   If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wondering if you should just go back to what you were doing before, this episode is here to remind you that you are not alone and it does get better. Hit play now to hear how Kristin moved past the messy middle, and how you can too.   Connect with Kristen: Instagram: @‌kristin.smith.photography Website: kristinsmithphotography.com   Connect with Megan:
