Pursuing a love of art, business, and people with Rachel Larsen Weaver

What a treat in today's episode - we have the legend Rachel Larsen Weaver with us.

Rachel is an artist-educator and photographer joyfully living on the Maryland beaches of the Chesapeake Bay. A mother to five and creator of moments, her enthusiasm for details and self-love are infectious, infusing creative sessions with a buoyant reverence for the simplest pleasures. Her portfolio and practice is fat-affirming, mindful, and genuine, focusing on the life and light of clients. Co-founder of NOW, NOW School, and creator of #FindingMyselfInPortraits and the original Long Form Sessions, Rachel travels the country documenting mothers, bodies, and details.

In this episode we cover topics like

  • Learning from the things that don’t work
  • How to craft your sweet spot offers by listening to what makes you unique
  • The foundations of Rachel’s signature long-form sessions
