Show notes
On this week's episode, I am bringing on another photographer! After lots of thought, I am so excited to have wedding photographer Chaz Cruz on the show with me for multiple reasons, which I get into. Chaz is a photo magician and I've always admired his dope, individual style. Listen in as he shares how he accidentally fell in love with photography and turned his love for wedding photography into a business and personality based brand. My biggest takeaway from our conversation is learning about how he came into his own style and why it's so important to be true to you and not follow trends. We both share the same fear about becomming complaciant, which leads into the big announcement he shares at the end of the show. Enjoy!
LIVE SHOW ALERT: Join me and special guests for a live show on Thurs., October 17 @ 7-9pm at Ipsento 606 (1813 N Milwuakee). RSVP at https://alishatova.com/podcast/. And of course please say hello and share any questions at @alishatova or [email protected].
