What Dolly Parton Taught Me About Being a Better Photographer

This episode is a little different.

After spending the past week reflecting on Dolly Parton, I realized just how many lessons she left behind; not just about music and success, but about being a good human and a smart business owner.

So I’m sharing three lessons I’m taking to heart as a photographer: be yourself and embrace what makes you different, know when to give and when to stand your ground, and dream big without ever forgetting where you started.

I hope this one gives you a little encouragement to trust yourself, keep working toward your dreams, and remember the people who believed in you along the way.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go listen to Jolene for approximately the 57th time this week. ❤️
