Today’s conversation was with Rohana Olson who I got to connect with twice during Creative At Heart Conference! We roomed together and spent so many nights chatting about all things wedding industry and life as a business owner during Round 9 and I’m so grateful that we’ve been able to keep in touch since through Instagram – it goes to show that social media can be a good thing & a way to connect even among the craziness haha
Rohana is fueled by equal parts strong coffee and French 75’s and spends her days capturing the kinds of images that convey distinctive emotion through intentional moments and create elevated images her clients treasure for a lifetime. She showcases their story and love in an exceptional, gracious, way.
She believes in real moments, heartfelt conversations, love stories that grow stronger through the storms, and the kind of joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. When she’s not tearing up during the vows, you can find me whipping up a new recipe in the kitchen, dancing to Sinatra with her husband, or snuggling with her mini me.
During our conversation on the podcast we chatted all about:
- Breaking into the luxury wedding market
- The first step for starting out in the luxury market
- Curating your brand to attract high-end clients
- Her journey to becoming a destination wedding photographer
- Crafting your own life-giving schedule as an entrepreneur
