I was a guest on a podcast!
I did something that pushed me out of my comfort zone — I was a guest on a podcast!
I met Ross Feldman, an IT pro with over 24 years of experience and a podcast host, at a networking event and thought, why not? Public speaking makes me anxious, but Ross made it so natural I forgot to be nervous!
I shared my journey from New Jersey to Charlotte, from a chance encounter at a Sears Portrait Studio to building a thriving event photography business. Tune in to hear about the challenges, wins, and how networking, SEO, and AI help me grow!

MY PHOTOS ARE PUBLISHED ON THE MUNALUCHI BRIDE MAGAZINE
I participated as a vendor at the 2nd Annual Mahogany Brown Bridal Extravaganza in March 2024 at the Hotel Concord, one of the area's historic and oldest hotels. In between speaking to potential brides and bridal parties, I took a few photographs of wedding vendors (wedding planners, florals, glitz and glam, catering and cakes, keepsakes, etc), and bridal fashion. Read the recap from Munaluchi Bride, a proud partner at the event.
What a memorable time and a great experience! Thank you to Whitney for having me. Thank you to Linda and her team for the acknowledgment. You ladies rock!
