Are We Burning Out the Bride? Content Fatigue & the Cost of Constant Creation 13.06.2025

We need to talk about what’s happening on wedding days. In this episode, I unpack the rising pressure to create and share content— immediately —and how it’s starting to chip away at the actual experience couples are meant to be having. From florists filming first looks, to planners posting private vows, to guests watching the day through their phones... content fatigue is real. And it’s not just a...

Through My Kids’ Eyes: A Candid Q&A with My Little Co-Hosts 31.05.2025

In this bonus, last minute (and slightly chaotic) episode of The Unfiltered Lens , I hand the mic over to two very special guests — my kids! They ask the questions, I do my best to answer, and together we explore what it’s really like to be a photographer, business owner, and parent all rolled into one. This unscripted chat is full of honest moments, unexpected laughs, and a reminder of why I do w...

Stop Crying About ‘Saturated Markets’ - Babe, You’re Just Blending In. 30.05.2025

If you've ever blamed a "saturated market" for why your work isn't being seen — this one's for you. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned about standing out in a sea of talent, why bold voices book better than safe ones, and the truth about why playing small won’t protect you. It’s not about shouting louder — it’s about showing up as you . Unfiltered, magnetic, and unforgettable. 💬 DM me you...

More Than Lingerie: The Truth About Boudoir Photography 23.05.2025

We get into how Esther creates a safe space for clients, what really goes on behind the scenes, and why this genre is...

Luxury Weddings: Can You Serve a Market You've Never Experienced? 16.05.2025

Can you really call yourself a luxury wedding supplier if you've never experienced luxury service yourself? In this episode of The Unfiltered Lens , I'm cutting through the fluff to talk about what luxury really means and why just slapping the word on your website isn’t going to cut it. Whether you're a photographer, planner, florist or stylist trying to break into the high-end space,...

Fake Fully Booked? Good. Here’s Why… 09.05.2025

Are you actually fully booked… or just smart with your marketing? 👀 In this episode, I’m diving into the wedding industry’s favourite passive-aggressive drama: the so-called “fake fully booked” strategy. We’re talking about the blurred line between confidence and deception, why looking busy works (even if your calendar isn’t bursting), and how to build genuine momentum that brings in real booking...

Nobody Knows What They're Doing 01.05.2025

Here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud: we’re all winging it. In this episode, I’m talking about the myth of having it all figured out, and why waiting to feel “legit” is one of the biggest things that keeps us stuck. From photographers to business owners to creatives in general—imposter syndrome hits hard, but the secret is… nobody really knows what they’re doing. And actually? That’s ki...

🎙️ The Unfiltered Lens is a no-BS podcast for the wedding industry. I'm peeling back the curtain on creativity, business, and the moments in between. Expect honest chats, messy truths, and reminders that you’re not the only one winging it.

Start before you're ready 24.04.2025
