I get asked alot what I miss about the US. And besides family and friends I really miss nothing - except an American dentist.

The view from the salle d’attente (waiting room) at my dentist’s office. Love photographing through the old glass - I like what it does to this first photo.

I love a few other things about the dentist as well. He has gorgeous photo books, an enormous coffee table book and more important than his love of photography is his American-style approach to dentistry.

I love 98.9% of everything here in France and especially Paris. But the dentists have been a little - je ne sais quoi - compared to the US.

Finding this dentist was a stroke of luck. The cleaning are thorough and less rushed and I am not inverted during treatment or soaked when I finish. One of the very, very few times you will hear me say that ‘it’s just like the 🇺🇸 but it is!

Here in France there are no hygienists. Actual dentists do the cleanings - so I have certainly been well taken care of over the last 2.5 years.

But moving to Paris and finding this dentist has been a game changer in my French dental life.

Just a personal note. And of course I walked right out and into this gorgeous patisserie. 😳

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY? 💰 Photography business owners have you ever asked yourself this question?

It took me awhile to connect the dots earlier in our business. Understanding the internal dialogue you have with money is a pretty good barometer of the limitations that affect your business.

You need to know how much you want to make, how much you keep, how much you spend, where does your money come from, where does it go? What value do you offer? How do you limit yourself?

Are you able to accept earning a number you never even imagined?

What resistance comes up for you?

Take the time and effort to work on this.

What is the internal dialogue you have?

Grab your journal and spend a few minutes on these questions.

There is a connection between the health of your photography business and your relationship with money.

Understanding this relationship is an important starting point.

You have to do the internal work with money in order to create a long term successful business. You just may need a new belief system to create more and have that business you want.

Timing. Isabella and I had just walked off the train at Gare de Lyon in Paris when we saw a WhatsApp message from a real estate agent that had an apartment to show us that fit a lot of what we wanted. But we had to act fast.

We dropped our bag out our hotel and had a very brief window that we could see this apartment before we had other appointments. So off we went to meet the agent.

We loved it. There was something so homey and welcoming about the apartment. Immediately we could see ourselves living here.

The catch? We would have to make a decision quick. Which meant that Keith and Gabby would not see the apartment prior to us putting in an application.

Later that day after seeing a few more apartments we had even more evidence that this apartment was the one.

Getting an apartment in France is not always an easy feat. But everything really fell into place nicely - including working with a wonderful agent Paris.

It’s been a long month moving and getting set up here. But worth every box, every hour of packing and unpacking. We are awaiting a couch that we ordered but for now this is what I see as I sip my morning coffee.

As I sit here I feel overwhelmingly inspired to keep challenging myself, to keep trying new things, to keep exploring the world and to keep trusting myself that anything is possible.

Decide on the outcome you want, you will figure out the how.

I have found that building a sustainable photography business is less about all the external factors - ‘the market is over saturated’ or I can’t charge what I’m worth because no one will pay that’ or ´no one wants the niche that I offer’ or ´I don’t have enough experience’

These are circumstances.

The challenge so many of us photographers and small business owners face is what we believe about ourselves.

We need to find within us the courage to stop settling for these circumstances and believe in ourselves.

Change the inner dialogue you have about you.

Get out of your own way.

You control your circumstances - get to work on changing them.

You’ve got this. Be determined.

MARKETING TIP: You will never get this time back.

It took me awhile to really realize this. All the nights and weekends away from my kids, trying everything to build our photography business - I was never going to get this time back.

I had to figure this out. I had to create a business that didn’t rely on me (and ) working so hard that we missed moments and creating memories with our kids because we were stressed and overwhelmed.

I figured it out. I took it all in and shed what wasn’t working and created a marketing strategy that was right for our lives, for our business and for our future.

I wanted life to be easier. I kept reminding myself that I will never get this year back, this month back, this weekend back. Think about that.

Creating a marketing plan which made our photography business sustainable (and adaptable) helped make my life easier. A lot easier.

Fast forward and this is the smile of someone who has created a photography business that works for my life, my family and the life I want to continue creating.

You can create a like this for you and your life. ❤️

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎆

Gabby took this photo of me a couple of weeks ago. (with her camera! 📷❤️🙌) and I feel like it is the perfect metaphor-y photo of me walking into the new year.

Not sure exactly what I’m walking into but I’m excited for it.

It may be un peu cliché to put so much pressure on a date change but I love the idea of mentally starting fresh. Clean slate. I get to write the narrative of what 2024 holds for me.

And so do you.

Grab your journal or a piece of paper and write down something you are leaving behind as you begin 2024. And write down one scary, audacious outcome you would like for yourself.

I say this way too often because I really mean it - once you write this down it becomes real.

And then once you write it - start talking about it as if it is happening.

Get this out of your head and out into the world!

Let’s shed that one thing from 2023 that may be holding you back or preventing you from reaching that outcome that you want so badly!

And let’s speak out loud through pen and paper and your voice - that ´thing’ you want for 2024!

🥂 Cheers to a new year and new and exciting outcomes!

The end of 2023 seems impossibly soon. The years are speeding right in by.

I remember the Y2K ridiculousness of transitioning from 1999 to 2000. I was sitting on a 747 from Heathrow to JFK and there were literally 8 of us on that flight.✈️

You know why? Because most of the world was afraid to travel. Afraid a date change not happening correctly. Lots of logical and illogical fears based on hype. I never understood it.

This is a perfect example of how we let fear prevent us from doing things. Afraid of the unknown, of what could happen.

But it was proof to me that so many of our fears are arise in the unfamiliar, we are afraid of the unknown.

Why does uncertainty make us so uneasy?

This is the year that I am going out of my way to embrace the unknown and find both professional and personal growth out of my comfort zone.

Just like that Y2K flight on New Year’s Day 2000 reminded me - be excited for new things and embrace fear because these new experiences may just lead to the outcome you are looking for.

Embrace the discomfort. 🙌

There’s nothing I love more than spending time with these two (and as well!)

Lovely girls trip to Paris to see friends that sadly were rerouted to London. 😩

But we toured around and saw Paris in all its holiday glory!

There is a lot to love about living in the south of France. Lots and lots of ☀️ and beautiful December days where you get your eat lunch outside is right at the top of the list. A lovely family day spent meandering (or flâneuring) around this historic town.
