If you’ve ever felt like you’re winging it when it comes to your client communication, this episode is for you. I’m chatting with Natasha Sewell—photographer, educator, and queen of a smooth client journey—about how upgrading your client experience isn’t just about being “extra,” it’s about creating trust, loyalty, and ease (for you and them).

We also dive into one of my favorite topics: using AI tools (like ChatGPT!) to help you streamline emails, prep your clients, and feel like you have a tiny personal assistant in your back pocket. This episode will leave you inspired to simplify, serve well, and maybe even rewrite that stale welcome email you’ve been ignoring since 2022.

• What Natasha realized was missing from her client experience—and how she fixed it

• Why your process is your brand (even more than your website or logo)

• The sneaky ways poor communication might be costing you referrals and repeat clients

• How to use AI to elevate—not replace—your voice and systems

• A few easy prompts to help clients feel prepared and confident

• The ripple effect a strong experience has on your entire business

Natasha Sewell launched her photography business in 2013, combining her background in teaching with her love of documenting real-life family moments. After moving and transitioning to in-home newborn and family photography, Natasha now mentors fellow photographers to build thriving, client-centered businesses. She’s passionate about education, continuous growth, and helping creatives create systems that feel as beautiful as their work looks.

Running a business while your kids are home for the summer? It’s a beautiful mess. In today’s episode, I'm sharing what it really looks like to work from home during summer break, with everything from tattling and snack requests to the sweet moments of quiet time that actually stick.

You’ll hear how we’re easing into our own summer rhythm (yes, there have been interruptions), plus practical tips for managing your day, whether you’ve got toddlers who need constant attention or big kids who thrive with structure. We’re covering independent play, age-appropriate routines, and simple systems to help you get stuff done without losing your mind.

You can run your business and enjoy summer with your kids. Let’s talk about how.

• How to help little kids play independently so you can focus (even for 15 minutes)

• Ways to co-create structure with older kids (and get their buy-in!)

• Sample daily rhythm ideas that support everyone in the house

• Mindset shifts that ease the pressure to “do it all”

• A gentle reminder: One thing done each day is a win in summer mode

• Thriving Through Summer Workshop – A flexible planning workshop for moms who want structure and sanity this summer

• Capture the Chaos Planner – Designed for real-life rhythms and grace-filled structure
