Want to learn…. Listen up 😀
When I started in Photography I saught out advice from different “well known” photographers but Sandra’s advice has held true and out of many paid courses Sandra’s is one of the few I never regretted joining. She is personable, knowledgable, kind and makes it easy. This podcast is an extension of the absolute gold she teaches and relays in her classes. She keeps it real, simple and honest. You guys are going to learn so much!! Keep your ears up and get ready for some amazing nuggets of photography know-how.

- 102: The Time I Was Accused of Copying Another PhotographerThe one piece of advice would I give to photographers just starting out is don’t be afraid to ask for help. I started my photography business as a side hustle and was completely self taught. I felt guilty charging money for my work and always worried that someone would call me out as a fraud. In this episode, I share a vulnerable story about the one time I was actually accused of copying another photographer. I was new to my business, and it felt like all my fears and imposter syndrome challenges were coming to life. The incident had a huge impact on me, so I hope in sharing this story, it helps you feel less alone. I also share about my new Sandra Coan Certification program coming later this spring and the inspiration behind it. If you're a photographer who struggles with knowing if your work is good enough and steps to take to improve, I invite you to join the waitlist for the Certification program below!

- 098: How to Grow Your Confidence as a Self-taught PhotographerLet's talk about confidence—why it’s important, how to get it and how to harness its power. I’ve been in business for over 20 years, and one thing I’ve learned in that time is that 90% of success in business boils down to confidence. Confidence is the bridge between wanting and having, fear and excitement and self sabotage and self promotion. Confidence is what will take you from undercharging to profitability and from feeling stuck to having a clear path and direction. It is so important! Unfortunately, many of us struggle with it. In this episode, I talk all about my journey with confidence and how growing my confidence led to me growing my business. I also give a sneak peek look inside of my new Sandra Coan Certification Program!

- 087: What Am I Even Doing with the Camera?Here's my morning routine. I wake up, drink some coffee, journal and then walk two to three miles. Sometimes I listen to books or music, but lately I’ve been listening to Anderson Cooper’s new podcast, "All There Is". If you are processing a loss in your own life, I highly recommend it. I bring it up because one of his guests was talking about a film she was making of her father and his journey with dementia. In the episode, she discussed her need to make art and asked herself, "Why? What am I doing with this camera?" This question got me thinking, and on today's episode, I share my why with you and invite you to share your why with me!

- Beyond Natural Light Photography - Learn. Grow. Be Inspired. Jan 12 · 16m 082: The #1 Mindset Shift That Every Photographer Needs as They Build Their Business This YearThe next question in our New Year's series is "Who?". We discuss the mindset shift that is necessary for every single photographer who wants to build their dream business and reach their goals this year. Success is not something you just wake up having one day. Success is a series of choices. It’s what happens over time when we decide to continually show up and work at moving ourselves closer to our goals. To show up like that, consistently, with passion, it’s also really important that we’re in the right mindset. Being in the right mindset helps me continuously grow my business every year and reach the goals I set for myself. In this episode, you'll learn about the difference between being a struggling photographer who uses excuses to justify inaction, versus an empowered photographer who looks for solutions and moves forward.

- 079: Welcome Back to the PodcastWelcome BACK to the Beyond Natural Light Photography podcast—I've missed you! It has been a minute since I’ve shared an episode with you, so I wanted to tell you a bit about why I disappeared, what I’ve been doing, why I’m back and what I have planned moving forward. Going forward, I have big plans for this podcast! I LOVE helping other photographers grow and reach their full potential. So, that is what this podcast is all about! I’m going to continue sharing what I’ve learned over the course of my photography career with you, but I’m also going to reach out to my friends in the industry and invite them to share as well. I’m going to ask the students in my community to join us here. I’m even thinking of doing a monthly book review or something fun like that! I’m an avid reader and read like about one book a week (mostly about marketing). I’d love to share some of my favorites with you! Tune in to this episode to learn more about what you can expect from our new podcast episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

- 078: Is It Fear or Intuition? How to Tell the Difference.When I listen to my gut, I never regret it. Intuition is a powerful thing and should be respected. But sometimes, when facing a big decision, it's hard to tell the difference between intuition and fear. First of all, when I'm talking about fear, I'm not talking about the healthy "don't walk down that dark alley alone at night" kind of fear. That kind of fear is aligned with your intuition and needs to be listened to. I'm talking about the kind of fear that doesn't serve you—the fear that holds you back, keeps you playing small and gets in the way of you making decisions in your life and business that will move you forward. Now, I personally believe that we are all put here on this planet to live the best, most fulfilling life we can. We are here to grow and learn and serve others. That belief is one of the reasons why I'm so passionate about helping photographers thrive in their businesses. Being an artist is a gift. It's a calling. You are the only person on the planted with YOUR specific gift. No other person in the entire world can see or capture things the exact way that you do. As a photographer, you are called to share whatever it is you see and capture with the world. In this episode, we dive into the differences between intuition and fear.
