Creative Rising Episode 304

[NARRATIVE]

It’s no secret that our businesses rely on social media to get in front of the brides and grooms we most want to photograph.

But it’s also no secret that many of us struggle with distraction, comparison, and insecurity when scrolling our feeds.

Social media is becoming more addicting than ever, but also more effective than ever for our marketing.

So as creative entrepreneurs, it’s critical that we learn to untangle our hearts and create healthy boundaries with a digital world that is becoming increasingly distracting.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Abby Grace, a film photographer in Washington D.C., about how she establishes healthy boundaries and balance in her relationship with social media.

Abby shares the resources and practices she uses to keep social media in its proper place in her business, and how she keeps social media out of her personal hours. Hint: Hear how she deletes Instagram every day at 5pm!

This is a life-giving conversation you definitely don’t want to miss!

About Us

We're Jeff & Erin

We’re Jeff and Erin Youngren – and it’s our mission to help you thrive not just as a wedding photographer, but as a business owner. It’s time to set aside the stress and comparison of a hustle mindset, and build a life-giving business instead.

We met in college, got married, and started corporate jobs before we discovered (and fell in love with) wedding photography. But like many creative entrepreneurs, we were booking anything we could, strapped to our laptops and living dangerously close to burnout.

So we dug in and learned how to build a thriving business that supports our dream life – instead of a joyless business that runs a stressed-out life.

Today, we photograph only 10 Dreamie weddings per year, but we also run two other wedding brands plus a commercial studio in San Diego, CA. And we do it by only working the hours that fit into our life. The other hours? We spend those living a joyful life raising our two beautiful sons, James and Samuel.

hugs,

Jeff and Erin
