Oh Shoot! with Cassidy Lynne

In this episode of Oh Shoot! with Cassidy Lynne (@cassidylynne), I'm combining two of the show's most requested topics: starting a photography business from scratch and what I'd do differently if I started over today. I'm walking through my own story, the things I got right, the mistakes that cost me time and money, and the exact 10 steps I'd follow if I were building my business from zero right now.

In this episode of Oh Shoot! with Cassidy Lynne (@cassidylynne), I'm answering your real submissions on the struggles every photographer hits early on: getting stuck in the free-shoot loop, posing people who feel insecure in front of the camera, and pushing through a creative rut. We're also getting into why clients ghost after the proposal, building a business when life won't sit still, and how to actually get paid to travel.

In this episode of Oh Shoot! with Cassidy Lynne (@cassidylynne), we're getting into the photography topics that always start arguments. AI in photography, tax strategy, gatekeeping locations, and whether working for exposure is ever worth it. Fair warning, I have opinions!!

In this episode of Oh Shoot! with Cassidy Lynne (@cassidylynne), I went live on TikTok and critiqued photos submitted by listeners in real time. We covered everything from posing and composition to editing choices, and a few of the same problems kept showing up across totally different portfolios. This one's a video episode, so watch on Spotify or YouTube to see the photos I'm talking about.
