Episode 12: The Real Struggles Photographers Face (and How We Bounce Back)

In this episode of Wine Down and Focus, Annette and Christina pour a glass of Pinot Noir and get real about the behind-the-scenes struggles photographers rarely talk about—burnout, pricing anxiety, style confusion, difficult clients, and tech fails.

From navigating slow seasons and studio setbacks to finding your photography style and responding to “you’re too expensive,” they share their own raw experiences, honest advice, and plenty of laughs along the way.

They also discuss:

  • The truth about burnout and people-pleasing
  • Why contracts and boundaries are non-negotiable
  • Backup plans for equipment failures (because they happen!)
  • Rebounding from negative reviews and business setbacks
  • How to stay inspired and create a sustainable, joy-filled photography business

Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned pro, this episode will remind you you're not alone—and that the messy parts are just part of the journey.

So pour a glass, press play, and let’s Wine Down and Focus.
