Thinking about the journey over the last 5 years with this little idea of taking pics for people who asked me to take a cell phone pic of them at the Wings. The Airbnb Experience that I launched 5 years ago completely changed my life. So grateful to for the support and community that opened up and welcomed me … to the start of Photowalk Nashville (which I first called Photowalk The Gulch, then realized that I wasn’t thinking big enough) helped me realize that! - and claimed the domain Photowalk Nashville, then led to almost 10k in person guests , where me or my cohosts has taken their photos and shown them an insider look and given them confidence and unforgettable memories - and it just kept growing and connecting me with the right people who were meant to be a part of it. It led me to meeting , and forming an official partnership to combine our existing brands , and even form a new company called Photowalk Your Travel, and the launch of our first city beyond Nashville , . Expanding from being a photographer to a business owner and CEO has been one of humility and so much grace from others. Learning and understanding the tourism industry and all its nuances, and surviving it through a year where travel was almost non existent.
So thankful to all the folks who have helped me on the business end, saying yes to partnering with me in the coolest ways - creating symbiotic and cohesive relationships- ) to the consulting of experts like , all the cohosts who have been and are so on board with the vision and not only take great pics, but create an environment of encouragement and fun for our guests- even to my accountants who are the most supportive and fun and get that this is all outside the box and figuring it out with us (shoutout to !) And now my daughter Millie is even on staff with us as the official editor , so I get to work at home with one of my favorite people in the world- thankful for my family for holding space for me to go after this and the lifestyle that gives way to it. Thanks to for taking these of me!
