00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:14.319 Co-hosted, co-hosted a podcast. 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.800 Yeah, um, the She Shines Podcast. 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.399 Um, shout out to Alex. 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.240 She's still my number one girly. 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:28.079 She was my amazing co-host, and for 125 episodes, we um got to interview some amazing entrepreneurs. 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:38.720 And during COVID, it got picked up by Comcast Rise as a TV show on their platform and did all the producing and editing for that show. 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.040 And then I have my twins, and something had to change. 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:52.319 And I always said, if I had, you know, a team or someone to um, you know, help with that, the back end side of things, like we would have kept going for sure. 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.360 But it was it was just the two of us. 00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.040 She would do all the show notes, I would do all the,

like I said, the the visuals and things and the editing and the distribution. 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:11.040 But um, that's why when we opened the physical space, I was like, well, now I can provide that for for other people and help amplify other people's voices. 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.120 And I guess now we're doing that. 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.720 So instead of creating the space just for yourself, you decided to actually share it with everyone, which is really cool. 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.160 Yeah, well, community is like everything for me. 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:40.159 Like it's such a big part of, and I'm sure we'll get into it a little bit, but um you know, just my story and journey and you know, being willing to share with other people and how people have poured into me and kind of paying it forward, but yeah, fostering that creative community, I think is it's needed. 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.360 It's all yeah. 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:42.879 And you did it very well. 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:52.879 Because this space, I don't know if you haven't been to Shine Studio, this space, I don't know how it wasn't as popular when I first ran into it. 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.159 Like I was like, how did I need to be able to do it? 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.039 Because I needed you because I needed you. 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:12.320 Yeah, because like when I came here and I was everything that you can get with the studio room, with the big open space in the front, plus the middle room, like three rooms and one all to yourself with AC in Charleston. 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:13.279 Oh, with AC. 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:14.399 Sign me up. 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.840 AC is and you did it, you did it so well. 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:28.000 So I like how you took like your old background in podcasting and brought it into your daily life and like pivoted from motherhood into like full-on entrepreneur business owner. 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:40.240 Yeah, I mean, it's still like everything is full on, I feel like we're you know, up to everything with the with the boys, they're just getting more and more active and busy with school and and all the things. 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:50.799 So like being present for them while, you know, being present here, like there's definitely a lot to to juggle, but you know, that's I always say there's no such thing as balance. 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.039 It's just it's just ebbing and flowing. 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.320 Like, you know, there's a whole one of my favorite books. 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.799 Um, so I'll I'll try to link this in the show notes. 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:09.519 It's the one thing, and it has pictures if you're a visual person like me, and it literally has a chart of um it's kind of like this. 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.600 So rather than things being balanced like 50-50, it ebbs and flows. 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:20.879 Sometimes you're needed more with your family, and business has to take a

backseat, like it's more maybe 70-30 one day. 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.600 Um it just it changes it does day to day. 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.519 So yeah, you do it wow. 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.080 Were you doing anything else besides podcasting before the studio? 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:31.120 Before the studio. 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.039 So a lot of things. 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.440 My background is is varied, but how far back you want to go? 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.360 You you tell me. 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.799 Like, how did what anything that brought you to Shine? 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:47.840 Like what were you doing that kind of pivot you into actually opening a studio instead of whatever you were doing? 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:48.399 Yeah. 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:55.840 So I've always wanted a studio since I started in brand photography in 20, late 2017, 2018. 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.480 I only ever worked with female owned businesses. 00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:59.679 That was like my niche. 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.159 I told my husband when I picked up a camera, I was said, I don't want to shoot weddings or newborns. 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:10.240 Like, I think it like shout out to the family photographers and the wedding photographers because that is a special breed of human. 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:10.480 Yes. 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:11.360 Kimberly. 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.600 Uh looking at a two-year-old. 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.559 Um, like truly a special breed of human. 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.080 And um, I was like, I only want to work with women, women-owned businesses. 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:25.039 And um, I was told repeatedly by a lot of people, well, you're not gonna make any money then. 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:30.720 And I'm like, well, I also probably won't be as like I will probably be my better self, you know. 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.000 Like uh won't be happy. 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.679 Yeah, I would I just I know myself enough to know that I cannot do that. 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.879 Um and thankfully people listened and I just leaned into that. 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:52.720 It was before like brand photography was a a niche, like there wasn't a word, so I call it like business owner photography, and um yeah, just kind of carved out my my people and OG. 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.519 OG, like I sound so old, like that's what that sounds like. 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.799 Like I was a brand photographer before it was called anything. 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.639 Like, wow, really dating yourself, anyways. 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:13.759 Yeah, so did that for for several years, and through in COVID, I think picked up video and throughout all this, we had the the podcast going on. 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:22.639 And I've lived in a lot of different places, and in every place that I've lived, Philly, Austin, most notably, there were studios that you could rent. 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:29.200 So when weather was kind of crummy or people needed like a shot in an office or something, you could rent a space. 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.559 And when we moved to Charleston, there was not the case. 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.360 It was not the case. 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:34.159 No, it wasn't. 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.799 There's been like a couple more pop-ups since which is awesome. 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.399 And I think so many are needed. 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.799 They all have their own, you know, special special flavor, which is really cool to see. 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:48.240 Um but or traffic, or yes, or parking, or whatever it is. 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:48.480 Yeah. 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.480 They all have their own ETAs, they all have their own thing, yes. 00:12:52.720 --> 00:13:01.200 And uh, so yeah, it was definitely needed here, but I think even if there had been a hundred studios, it still was on the heart to to do it. 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:01.759 Yeah. 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.879 And um I think that's really important. 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:17.840 Like when you want to do something, is to just know that it's been placed on placed on your heart for a reason, and you should listen and lean into that, and no one is going to do it like you, which sounds so cliche. 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.120 I sound so cliche. 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:24.240 It does, and people always say it and people always think it's cringe, but like really no one's going to do it like you. 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.600 But no, and if even if they copied verbatim what you were doing, it's not I kind of hate this word, but authentic. 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.080 Like it's not true to that person. 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:40.320 So lean in, I think, with like your heart, like what's been placed on you, and I think how you underwit it. 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.399 People just think that I can just put something out there, and because of I think it's so good, people are gonna buy it. 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.799 But no, people will literally buy things for your personality. 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:53.039 Yeah. 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.039 They'll look at you and be like, I don't like her. 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.120 I'm not going to listen to this. 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.480 I'm not going to listen to this. 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.440 There are people that will just like keep on swiping through this. 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:06.320 And I remember uh my oldest brother, he his like high school graduation speech. 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.480 Um, he was super smart and he was valedictorian. 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.000 Um, I know. 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.440 But he he literally said he always kind of marched to the beat of his own drum, anyways. 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:23.039 But um, he said, People, some people are gonna love you for what you do, some people are gonna hate you for what you do, and some just won't care. 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:32.320 And

that's always I was in the sixth grade when he graduated, and that has always stuck with me because it's like, why spend any ounce of energy worrying? 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.600 Like, am I, you know, seeking the approval of every single person?
