Kim is interviewing Sammy Royal, a Paris-based travel, hospitality and editorial photographer. Originally from New Zealand, she has lived in Paris for three years with her husband and two children. 


Together, Kim and Sammy discuss how important it is to be present, embrace daily rituals and enjoy your own company. They dive into freelancing, building a network from scratch, learning to market yourself, and the uncomfortable but necessary process of putting your work into the world before it feels perfect. They also get into storytelling, creative partnership, and why taking small steps toward the thing you want can make the bigger risks feel a little less scary.
