Let It Go: How to Stop Perfectionism From Holding You Back as a Photographer with Megan Boggs

The Art & Soul Show - Photography Podcast for Newborn and Family Photographers

It can be hard to realize that none of us are perfect. We get tired, we make mistakes, or we take on too many projects. But what we need to remember is that done is better than perfect. Spending 10 hours editing one photo serves no one. And honestly, our clients don’t expect perfection from us, they just want photos that capture their soul. That’s something we can definitely deliver!

In today’s episode, I’m interviewing Megan Boggs, founder of Hello Storyteller and a lifestyle and documentary photographer. She shares how we can break free from perfectionism, how to find balance as a photographer, and how an inquisitive mind is key in developing your photography skills.
