75: Today's My Birthday—and for once, I like what I see

When Katrina joined The Photographer's Path, she had just walked away from a business that didn't work out. She felt embarrassed, ashamed, and unsure of what came next — but there was one thing that never left her: photography.

DSLR vs Mirrorless. If you've ever wondered what actually sets them apart—or what matters more than all the tech jargon—this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm breaking down the real differences between DSLR and mirrorless camera systems—what they feel like to shoot with, how they impact your learning, and what you should know before making a decision. You'll learn: The intuitive advantage of mirrorless (especially for newer photographers)

In honor of Mother's Day, I wrote this one for you, inspired by my two little angels Jack and Sophie. If you're a mom building a dream while raising tiny humans, press play. This is for the days you feel behind. For the nights you question whether it's all worth it. It's a moment of stillness, a reminder that your dreams do matter. Because the truth is you're not falling behind. You're building something beautiful even on the days when it's hard to see it. I hope this brings you peace today. This guided meditation is part of The Photography Practice, my new creative membership for photographers ready to reconnect with their art and themselves, which is coming soon.

What if everything you thought you'd spend your life doing… suddenly wasn't possible anymore? In todays episode, I'm sitting down with Paige Fremder—a portrait photographer, TPP alumni, and former professional musician in the Army Band—whose career took a turn she never saw coming. After a series of physical injuries and surgeries left her unable to continue performing at the level her job demanded, Paige made the incredibly hard decision to leave her career behind. She was in recovery, exhausted, a mom of two—and looking for something that could bring purpose, creativity, and stability into this new chapter of her life. That's when she found photography. Her first goal? Make enough money to pay for a cleaning service once a month. And before she even finished The Photographer's Path, she had done exactly that—and more. Since then, Paige has grown a business she never expected—one built not on the latest marketing trends and strategy, but on kindness, community, and consistently showing up. In this episode, she shares how she started, what helped her keep going, and what she would say to anyone feeling like they're too late, too behind, or too uncertain to begin.

What she did do? She kept going. In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to grow a photography business, especially in the early years. Sam shares how she stayed committed through slow seasons, built confidence as a beginner, and how her husband now shoots video alongside her as they work with dream clients across the country. Whether you're just starting out, trying to book more clients, or wondering if you're even good enough to make this your career—this conversation is a reminder that growth takes time.
