Shutter's Full Podcast

Shutters Full Podcast where creativity, calling, and good conversation collide.

A collaboration between Brittany Allison of Measurably More Media, and Alisa Thayne of Thayne Media, Shutters Full was born out of a desire to create space for storytellers, dreamers, and doers to share the real, raw, and light-filled stories of what it looks like to chase passion, take risks, and live a FULL life.

The name? A playful nod to Cousin Eddie (because who doesn’t love a little nostalgic humor 😆), but also a reflection of our roots as photographers, and a reminder that a shutter lets the light in. Just like how God works through our lives, shining His light through every open door, every creative risk, and every bold yes to what we’re called to do.

We’re here to share stories that bring a little more light into the world.

This isn’t your average podcast..it’s inspiring, uplifting, sometimes hilarious, and always full of heart.

Episode 11: Faith, Calling, and Courage with Nic Ford

In Episode 11 of Shutter’s Full Podcast, hosts Alisa and Brittany sit down with author and emerging Nashville songwriter Nic Ford for a conversation centered on faith, perseverance, and answering the unexpected callings God places in our lives.

Nic is the author of The Refuge Trilogy, a powerful Christian book series born from her own spiritual journey and deep desire to share stories rooted in hope and redemption. In this episode, she opens up about how her path to becoming an author unfolded through prayer, obedience, and a willingness to step into challenges she never expected.

But Nic’s story doesn’t stop with writing books. After moving to Nashville, she discovered an entirely new creative outlet—songwriting. Now collaborating with some of the city’s most respected writers, including Gary Chapman, Nic shares how this new passion has expanded her ability to express faith, storytelling, and truth through music.

Throughout the episode, Nic speaks candidly about perseverance, trusting God’s timing, and what it looks like to surrender control of your plans. She also offers thoughtful insights on navigating social media while keeping your heart and focus centered on God rather than the noise of the world.

This episode is an inspiring reminder that when you follow God’s direction—even when it’s unexpected—your purpose can unfold in ways you never imagined.
