  • What We Wish We Knew with Joyful Perspectives/Maddy & Abbey Day Photo
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode, we’re answering your questions you asked on our social media and sharing the things we wish someone would’ve told us when we first started in photography. From early mistakes and mindset struggles to pricing, boundaries, and finding our style — we’re talking about the lessons we had to learn the hard way.

    If you’re in your beginning stages (or even a few years in), this is the conversation we wish we could’ve listened to sooner. Honest reflections, real growth, and what we know now that we didn’t then.

    You asked — we’re answering! We hope you find it helpful!
