159: How To Own Your Creativity So You Can Take Incredible Photos & Book Out Calendar-Haley McDevitt

Do you ever doubt your own abilities as a photographer and wonder if your couples are going to be happy with your photos? 😰
Haley, a wedding photographer and one of my past students, was in this exact position not too long ago. She loved being a wedding photographer, but weddings made her constantly feel on-edge.
She’d stress about getting the perfect shot of the dress and the ring because that’s what she thought she was “supposed” to do.She’d constantly question if she was in the right place at the right time, and she’d worry that she was missing out on picture-perfect moments.She felt too scared to try her unique, out-of-the box ideas for fear that her couples wouldn’t be happy with the photos.
But after Haley took my course, Intuitive Storytelling, everything changed for her. She learned to trust her creativity & intuition and tune out that self-critical voice in her head.
Now, she shows up to weddings feeling 100% confident, and she takes creative shots that her couples love. 🙌
I was so inspired by Haley’s transformation that I decided to interview her about her journey. This week, we’re talking all about how to tap into your intuition so you can take incredible photos, show up confidently to shoots, and book out your calendar.
I hope that Haley’s story inspires you to trust your own creativity and intuition so you can take photos that’ll have your couples saying:
“We love the photos and you were the best decision we could have made for our wedding day!” 😍

✨ Examples of super special moments captured during weddings, and how you can spot these opportunities on your own
