52: Part 1: How To Navigate Reschedules + Cancellations As a Wedding Photographer In a Pandemic

In this episode, I will share with you my mindset around my approach to navigating wedding reschedules and cancellations and what has been working for me. This will be a 2 part series so that you can get two different perspectives and two different approaches! In Part 2, which will be the following episode #53, you'll hear from Anastasia from Olive Photography on the approach that she has been using.

My hope is that by the end of these two episodes, you will have gathered ideas of what will work best for you on how to navigate this situation for yourself.

What I want you to know is there is no one size fits all way to go about this. We are all going through a different storm (for some it's sprinkling rain and for others, it's a full-on hurricane). We each have our own unique challenges that we are facing.

To some of you, my approach may speak to you, and to some of you Anastasia's will! That's why I wanted to create this 2 part series for you! To show you that even if we have different ways of doing things, we can still be in it together, learn from one another without judgement, and most of all, respect one another as humans because after all, we are all in this thing called life together. Who are we to judge how someone else is doing things when we really don't know the nuance of their situation. All we can do is simply offer support and ideas with compassion, and let others take their own journey.

My teaching style is meant to provide you with a perspective you may have not thought of before and then empower you to make your own choices. I'm not here saying you SHOULD do anything. I'm here to tell you that to all the questions you have, the answers are within you. All you have to do is know how to listen to them.
