I have no idea if anyone is watching, and I’m still figuring out how all of this works—but that’s okay. Today felt less like a live broadcast and more like sitting down with friends and sharing why I’m so passionate about what I do. For over 30 years, I’ve been a professional photographer, and I created this community because I believe you don’t need a studio or expensive equipment to have an incredible headshot. You just need a smartphone, a little natural light, and someone who knows how to guide you. When smartphones first came out, I wasn’t intimidated. I knew people would always need a photographer who understood light, expression, and confidence. The funny part is that now I’m using the very same smartphone to deliver Hollywood-level headshots to people anywhere in the world. Thank you for being here and letting me share this journey with you. Every conversation helps me refine this idea, and every one of you reminds me why I started. I’m excited to keep showing up, keep learning, and keep helping people see the best version of themselves. 📸💚

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be a featured recorded speaker at the AI Driven Business Summit 🎬📸 Just a few months ago — when I joined Skool in November 2025 — I had NEVER touched AI before 😭 No ChatGPT. No AI art. No AI content. Nothing. Now AI has completely transformed the way I create, build communities, market, design, brainstorm, write, edit photos, create magazine covers, animated GIFs, branding visuals, and run my LIVE remote photography business 🌍✨ In my 20-minute featured recorded segment, I’ll be sharing: 📸 how I use AI in photography & branding ✨ creating content & visuals faster 🎬 AI + creativity + storytelling 💛 building confidence & visibility online 🌍 How AI helped me expand my business and communities If someone had told me months ago I’d be speaking at an AI summit, I never would have believed it 😂✨ This summit is packed with incredible speakers, ideas, strategies, and opportunities to learn how AI is changing business, creativity, and online growth 🚀 June 15-17, 2026 🎟 Grab your pass here: AI Driven Business Summit

One of my clients lost her beloved fur baby last night after 18+ years together. She spent the entire day and night crying, grieving, and holding space for such a deep loss. I offered to reschedule our session because her heart was hurting so much. But instead, she told me she wanted to HONOR Teddy by showing up, smiling, and creating beautiful photos ✨🐾 And honestly… this is exactly why I love what I do. Photography is not just about pictures. It's’s about Healing. Confidence. Memory. Connection. Joy. Sometimes a photo session becomes something much deeper than a photo session. This is Brodie, C.E.O. of www.cozytailsandtreasures.com/
