    Welcome to the Called to Stand out podcast!

    Do you feel like you’re barely surviving most days, trying to balance motherhood and a business that seems more like an expensive hobby? Like YOU KNOW that God put this dream in your heart but you can’t shut up the negative thoughts every time you get sucked down the comparison spiral or start to hit burnout again?

    Hey girl, my name is Marina- I’m a wife, boy mom and photographer on a mission to build your confidence and speak life when the lies inside your head get a little too loud. I know the mom guilt all too well, constantly going from feeling guilty that your kids need you to being frustrated that your business does too. Maybe you’re tired of trying to keep up with the trends or you’re exhausted chasing the elusive idea of balance. Over the last ten years the Lord has been so faithful in leading me to grow my photography business in a way that honors him and honors my family. We’re doing business a different way over here and in this podcast I’m sharing all the ways I’ve been able to truly find joy and

    even peace in the chaos of it all.

    So welcome! This is your safe space to grow in confidence, ditch hustle culture and grow a sustainable photography business with margin to truly enjoy life in every single area God has called you to.

  • 25 | Dealing with Difficult Clients
    Dec 30 2024

    on today's episode we're talking about those not fun situations when you have to deal with a difficult client, and how I've learned to manage those tricky situations.

    Hey friend, are you a photographer mama feeling like a crazy person just trying to balance motherhood and a photography business that just isn’t paying the bills? You KNOW God put this dream in your heart but you can’t shut up the negative self-talk as you get sucked down the comparison spiral again?

    I'm Marina(: I'm a wife, mama and photographer on a mission to encourage others in the ways I wish someone would've done for me when I started on this journey. I’ve been in that vicious burnout cycle, wondering if I could turn this creative outlet into a real-deal business that didn't take over my entire life and take away from my family.

    In this podcast I share all the ways I'm simplifying my business and redefining success. You’ll find practical ways to transform your business from a time consuming (and expensive) hobby to a profitable business by finding your brand identity to confidently show up and stand out, all with a toddler on your hip.
