Your photography brand isn’t just about colors and logos—it’s a reflection of who you are. But what if you don’t fully understand yourself yet?

In this episode, branding expert Stacey dives into the different money and brand archetypes that shape many photographers and how these archetypes influence your business more than you realize. She’s sharing how, instead of boxing us in, these archetypes can help us expand our business, our creativity, and our branding, especially if things have felt a little stale lately.

Plus, she shares why photographers struggle with permission, how to break free from limiting beliefs, and why self-awareness is the foundation of a thriving brand.
