Listen on theprofitablephotographerpodcast. com or my YouTube channel...https://youtu.be/SAdOu2ClJyI

I got to hang out with Jeff Rojas—a mellow, super talented commercial photographer and former Adobe rep who’s been in the photography game for 14 years. His story started with something really personal…photographing a classic car with his grandfather…and it grew into a career that’s full of lessons for all of us.
Jeff and I cover a lot of ground in this episode including the business of photography, the future of creative entrepreneurship, and how to thrive in commercial photography today.

Another amazing guest, Shayna LLoyd! And so much practical and inspiring info...this time about video as an easy and powerful way to promote whatever you are up to.

You can find us on my YouTube Channel "Profitable Photographer with Luci Dumas
" all the podcast hang outs.

I love Shayna"s story about how she got started in the wedding elopement business almost by accident. She started making short videos every day just to do something besides her every day routine. And people started wanting her to do videos of their events.

Anywhoo, this is a good one AND it is not too late to sign up for her amazing retreat in Montana September 8–11, 2025

Want to know the secret to making weddings truly fun—for your couples and for you?

On this week’s episode of The Profitable Photographer, I had a great conversation with the talented Jenny Gegg—photographer, educator, and wedding expert with over 26 years of experience.

Jenny shares how creating a thoughtful, people-first experience can make all the difference. We talk about:
• Building in buffer time for the unexpected
• Staying calm and present, even when things run late
• Bringing just the right amount of energy and enthusiasm
• Keeping portraits relaxed and distraction-free
• Being the couple’s behind-the-scenes hero with all the little extras

This episode is full of practical tips and reminders that great wedding photography isn’t just about the pictures—it’s about how you make people feel.

This episode felt extra special.

I had the pleasure of chatting with the wise and wonderful Cate Scaglione—fine art photographer and branding expert—about how bo***ir and personal portraits can truly change lives.

We talked about what it means to create an experience that goes beyond the images. Cate designs sessions that engage all five senses—yes, even croissants and velvet rugs—and help women reconnect with their confidence and beauty in the most authentic way.

I also opened up about my own insecurities and how being in front of the camera (a few times) gave me a deeper reminder of who I am—especially during moments of self-doubt.

This episode is for any photographer who wants to offer more than just pictures... and create something transformational.

Listen now, and grab Cate’s beautiful free gift: her bo***ir pre-session checklist.
