Business, Boundaries, and Baby Photos with Angelica Sam

The Art & Soul Show - Photography Podcast for Newborn and Family Photographers

As a young mom, Angelica Sam wanted baby photos for her sweet little girl, but she was unable to afford a professional photographer. So instead, she bought a camera, started photographing, and never looked back.

Today, Angelica is a published photographer and educator hosting newborn and maternity workshops worldwide (including at our 2023 Online Newborn Retreat!) and she’s here to share her story and her top tips for getting those cute baby photos, even when those babies don’t want to sleep.

Angelica also explains how she gets creative and incorporates her clients props and ideas to make meaningful photos for her families, why she’s become more firm with her personal boundaries and prioritized her self-care, and how she’s found confidence in her business.
