Episode Synopsis

What We Cover in This Episode
✨ How to Use ChatGPT Without Losing Your Voice


Why ChatGPT only works well after you’ve built a clear brand foundation
(ideal client, tone, values, purpose, mission)


The danger of generic AI output — and how to avoid “copy-paste photographer internet voice”


How Amber created a custom ChatGPT trained on her messaging


Using AI to repurpose one strong message into:


IG captions + hooks


Email newsletters


Pinterest descriptions


Blog outlines


Sales page copy




How ChatGPT can deepen connection while maintaining authenticity


Why AI should amplify your voice — not replace it



✨ AI for Editing: Our Experience With Imagine AI
Marie’s workflow:


How Imagine edits her galleries in 15–20 minutes


Why she barely has to tweak anything anymore


Creating separate profiles (studio, outdoor, film stock)


The “secret sauce”: continuously feeding Imagine your refined edits so it learns your style


Amber’s experience:


Why Imagine didn’t work for her in the past — and what changed


The learning curve and how it handles tone curves + background masks


Where it excels and where she still fine-tunes things


Why it’s saving her after a huge tech issue this month


Key takeaway:
Imagine can drastically speed up your editing workflow and improve consistency — especially once your profile has been fully trained.

✨ Voto: AI Retouching That Saves HOURS
Marie’s go-to tools for newborn & family sessions:


Infant acne removal


Skin evening


Double-chin reduction


Hair frizz + flyaway removal


Eye catchlights


Amber’s approach:


Why she customizes a new “preset” for each client


Her favorite features: under-eye circle reduction, wrinkle softening, clothing de-wrinkle


What she uses sparingly to keep edits natural


How Voto saved a wind-blown lavender farm session


Why it’s the most user-friendly AI tool she’s tried


The biggest perk:
Magazine-quality refinements in minutes — without outsourcing a single image.
