Episode Synopsis
We’re finally back — and this time, recording in person at Arielle’s studio! In this warm, real, and refreshingly unfiltered episode, we (Arielle & Jackie) dive deep into a topic so many photographers (and creatives in general) wrestle with: Imposter Syndrome.We open up about what’s been going on behind the scenes, from tech fails and editing struggles to overwhelming weeks filled with back-to-back sessions (hello, 7 newborns in one week 😅). We share stories about the sessions that left us doubting ourselves, the ones that reminded us why we love what we do, and how even after years in business, we still question if we’re “good enough.”We also talk about:How session successes or struggles impact our confidenceComparison traps on social media and how we each handle them differentlyWhy validation, support, and community matter (hi, photog besties 💕)How our “why” as photographers shifts with seasons of lifePricing, burnout, and the emotional weight of this jobIf you’ve ever found yourself spiraling after a tough session, hesitating to market your business, or wondering if you’re really cut out for this — this one’s for you. You’re not alone. Not even a little.💌 We’d love to hear your own imposter syndrome moments or how you’ve learned to overcome them.
