Explore every episode of the podcast Hybrid Hangout | Best Photography & Videography Podcast

How do you get more referrals, attract your ideal wedding photography clients, and build a photography business people actually love working with? Quarter 2 gave me some pretty fucking good reminders that your client experience and the way you treat people are a huge part of your marketing strategy.

In this episode of Hybrid Hangout, I'm recapping April, May, and June, including a Glacier National Park elopement that led to a Hawaii referral, a very revealing experience hiring two business coaches to serve my Hybrid Hub members, and a hilarious interaction with one of my wedding couples that reminded me why being yourself is one of the best things you can do for your business.

We're talking about word-of-mouth marketing for wedding photographers, building a personal brand that attracts the right people, and why your clients remember so much more than the photos and videos you deliver. I'm also getting into my struggles with workaholism, learning to enjoy the freedom of being self-employed, raising my kids in Montana, the books I've been reading, and approximately 70 trips to the dentist.

Come hang out and let's gossip about Quarter 2, the weird shit that running a photography business teaches you, and why serving the hell out of people will always be one of my favorite marketing strategies.

You offer photo and video. You're proud of it. You're building something real. 

But your website looks like a photography business. Your Instagram bio says photographer. Your pricing guide separates photo and video like they're two completely different services from two completely different people. And every month you wonder why couples are only inquiring for photos. 

This episode is the answer to that question. 

In this episode, Shay breaks down exactly how to market yourself as a photo and video business — so that every single place a potential client lands, they immediately understand what you offer, they see the value of both, and they have a clear, frictionless path to book both. No more hoping people notice. No more video living in a hidden corner of your website. No more making clients solve a mystery to figure out what you do. 

In this episode: 

• How to make your photo and video offer visually obvious the moment someone lands anywhere in your world 
• Why you have to say photographer and videographer everywhere — out loud, in your bio, on your website, in every header — and stop introducing yourself as just a photographer 
• How separating photo and video into two different offers is training your clients to choose one 
• Why mixing video clips into your Instagram carousels changes how your audience sees your business 
• The pricing guide mistake that's making couples choose a lane before they even understand what buying both looks like 
• How to make the combined photo and video offer feel like the obvious, complete upgrade — not a menu of add-ons 
• Why you have to repeat your message 80 to 100 times before your audience truly understands what you do 
• The difference between posting more content and making your content actually do its job 
• Why video is not just a deliverable — it's your marketing, your proof, and your first impression all at once

You're booked. You're delivering beautiful work. And you're still stressed about money at the end of every month. 

The problem isn't that you need more weddings. The problem is that the weddings you already have aren't worth enough and a simple, clear video offer is exactly how you change that. 

In this episode, Shay breaks down the exact framework for structuring, pricing, and presenting a hybrid photo and video offer that couples can actually understand, genuinely want, and easily say yes to. 

IN THIS EPISODE: 

• Why making more per wedding starts with your offer structure — not more marketing 
• How to make your hybrid photo and video offer feel like the obvious choice for every couple 
• Why couples already believe video is valuable — you just have to stop apologizing for it 
• Why you don't need a big production team or cinematic films to start selling video now 
• How to increase your income per wedding without adding a single extra date to your calendar 
• Why your pricing guide has to make video feel like a normal part of your process 
• The exact language to use when presenting your hybrid offer — and what to stop saying immediately 
• The separate pricing guide mistake that was costing one Hybrid Hub student thousands per booking 
• How to use video as proof and marketing before anyone even fills out your inquiry form

This episode is a repurposed Hybrid Hub marketing mastermind call focused on how photographers can batch social media content in a way that leads to inquiries and bookings. I break down how to organize captions monthly, batch creative weekly, and use three types of short-form video—talking head, aesthetic, and trending—to support a clear marketing system. We also cover why captions drive results more than visuals alone, how to stay searchable on every platform, and how to create consistent content without burning out.

You've been interested in video for a while. You know it could grow your business. You love the idea of a stronger offer and more income per booking. 

But you're still waiting. 

Waiting until you feel less awkward. Less busy. More skilled. More certain. More ready. 

In this episode, Shay is calling that out directly — and breaking down exactly why the photographer you're waiting to become is built through behavior, not confidence. The stories you keep telling yourself about video aren't just thoughts. They're instructions your brain is following every single day. 

This is the mindset episode Hybrid Hub students needed to hear, and now it's yours too. 

In this episode: 

• Why the stories you tell yourself about video create the behavior that follows — and why that's the real problem 
• The identity shift that has to happen before video becomes a profitable part of your business 
• Why confidence is not the starting point — it's the end result of doing the wor
• How you're already making video more complicated and dramatic in your head than it needs to be 
• Why you understand more about video than you're giving yourself credit for 
• How video can make you money before a single client ever pays you for it
• Why you should be hybrid shooting every session — whether clients are buying video or not
• The Five Clips Method: wide, long, close up, detail, and B-roll — and why it makes your galleries more dynamic too
• Why you can't become known for something you're hiding 
• How to talk about your hybrid photo and video offer clearly — and why shrinking when you pitch it is costing you bookings 
• Why feeling awkward and clunky at the start is proof you're growing — not a sign to stop

If you've been told to "just post more" and still feel invisible online, this episode is your wake-up call. Shay breaks down the exact YouTube + blog system she's been testing in her own business and inside Hybrid Hub — and why it's getting photographers ranking in search faster than anything else she's tried. 

This isn't about going viral. It's about building a library of searchable content that puts you in front of your ideal clients exactly when they're ready to book. 

 In this episode:

• The simple location + service keyword formula that gets you found by the right clients

In this episode of Hybrid Hangout, Shayna talks with wedding photography business coach Alora Rachelle about how photographers can raise their prices, book $10K+ weddings, and scale their businesses without taking on endless doubleheaders or burning out.

Alora shares how she went from overbooked and exhausted to raising her prices, booking fewer weddings, building an associate team, and creating a more sustainable business as a photographer and mother. This conversation covers the mindset behind raising your prices, why photographers panic after a few pricing objections, what separates a $6K photographer from a $10K+ photographer, and how to position your wedding photography business for higher-paying clients.

Shayna and Alora also talk about luxury branding, authentic personal branding, pricing strategy, long-form marketing, SEO, Instagram content, client connection, and the importance of building a business around the life you want instead of staying stuck in a pricing model that drains you.

If you are a wedding photographer who wants to book higher-paying weddings, raise your prices with more confidence, attract premium clients, and scale past six figures with more breathing room, this episode is for you.

This episode is a repurposed Hybrid Hub coaching call focused on the early stages of adding video to a photography business.

You’ll also hear real questions from photographers inside Hybrid Hub around perfectionism, consistency, SEO, and how to start without making the process way harder than it needs to be.

You're wondering what your business actually looks like on the other side of adding video — and this episode gives you the real answer. No guessing. No assuming it's going to double your workload. No wondering if this is just another thing you'll try and drop. 

Shayna is here to make something very clear: adding video is not a pivot. It's an upgrade. In this episode, she walks you through exactly what changes — and what doesn't — when hybrid photo and video is working inside your real business. Because staying where you are isn't neutral. It's what's actually keeping you stuck. 

No starting over. No becoming a videographer. No building a second business. Just taking what you already do — and making it more valuable. 

We're getting into: 

• Why staying photo-only means your growth is always tied to volume — whether you like it or not 
• The 4 things that actually change when hybrid photo + video is working in your business 
• Why this is not about doing more — it's about making what you already do worth more 
• The real math: same 20 weddings, but $160–200K instead of $100K 
• Why photographers who try to charge more without changing their offer always feel like they're forcing it 
• What your inquiries, bookings, editing, and confidence all look like on the other side 
• The gap between understanding hybrid and actually implementing it — and why most photographers stay stuck there 
• Why you don't need more information — you need someone to look at your specific business 
• What "your business becomes more efficient" actually means in practice 
• The next step if you're ready to stop thinking about this and start doing it 

If you've been sitting in that in-between place — understanding hybrid photo + video but not fully implementing it — this episode is going to call that out. And then show you exactly what to do next.

You're booking weddings — but your income still isn't growing the way you want it to. If you've ever done the math and realized the only way to make more is to take on more, this episode is for you.

Shayna is here to tell you something important: charging more doesn't have to mean booking more. In this episode, she reframes how you think about your offer completely — from a photography package with an optional video add-on, into a stronger, more complete experience that naturally justifies a higher price. This is not about convincing clients to spend more. It's about building something worth more.

No awkward pitch. No forcing video on people who don't want it. No burning yourself out. Just a smarter offer — and the confidence that comes from knowing your pricing actually makes sense.

We're getting into:

• Why fully booked photographers still feel financially stuck (and it's not your fault)
• The photo-only income ceiling — and why it will always limit your growth
• How hybrid photo + video removes that ceiling without adding more shoots to your calendar
• The #1 mistake photographers make when introducing video to their packages
• Why asking "do you also want video?" is already killing the sale
• What Shayna's actual offer structure looks like — the "Big Boy Offer" explained
• How perceived value does the selling before you even get on a call
• The real math: going from $5K to $8–10K per booking with the same calendar
• Why your past price increases didn't stick (hint: it was a positioning problem, not a talent problem)
• How to guide clients toward photo + video without feeling pushy or salesy

If you've been trying to grow your photography business but keep hitting the same ceiling, this episode will show you exactly what to change — and why it works.

You finally shot hybrid photo and video — now what? If you've opened your editing software and immediately felt your brain shut down, this episode is for you.

Shay is here to tell you something important: video editing isn't hard because you're bad at it. It's hard because you don't have a system yet. In this episode, she reframes video editing completely — from this big, intimidating thing you have to figure out every time, into a simple, repeatable process you just execute in the same order, every single shoot.

No switching software every other week. No 40-hour editing spirals. No waiting to feel inspired. Just structure — and the confidence that comes from it.

We're getting into:

• Why video editing feels overwhelming (hint: it's not a skill issue)
• The blank page problem — and why structure changes everything
• The #1 mistake photographers make before they even open their editing software
• Why bouncing between editing programs is killing your speed
• What Shay's actual editing workflow looks like start to finish
• How your shooting system (the Five Clips Method) directly saves your edit
• Why "perfect" is the thing slowing you down — not video editing itself
• The honest truth about overwhelm vs. avoidance

How to get faster at editing without learning everything first

If you've been stalling on editing because it feels like too much, this episode will get you unstuck.

In this episode of Hybrid Hangout, I break down my full Quarter 1 business review as a photographer and hybrid photo and video shooter, including what worked, where I fell out of integrity, and how I’m resetting for Quarter 2. I walk through how I set quarterly goals across health, creativity, money, and business, and how those goals translate into daily actions. This is a real look at consistency, self-abandonment, getting back on track, and how I’m growing my photography and hybrid photo and video business without waiting for a perfect time to start.

Still freezing up every time you think about switching between photo and video? In this first episode, Shay breaks down exactly why hybrid shooting feels so overwhelming — and why it doesn't have to.

She walks you through her signature 5 Clips Method: a dead-simple system that gives your brain a rhythm to follow so you stop overshooting photos, stop second-guessing yourself mid-session, and actually leave with enough footage to tell a story.

No film school. No drone talk. No gear overhaul. Just a repeatable shooting system that fits into the sessions you're already doing.

We're getting into:

• Why hybrid shooting feels harder than it actually is
• The overshooting problem — and how holding the shutter button is costing you
• Why photo moments vs. video moments is the belief that's making you freeze
• The Five Clips Method: Wide, Long, Closeup, Details, and B-Roll — and what each one does
• How to toggle between photo and video without it feeling like a big decision
• Why B-roll is not optional (it literally saves your edit)
• How to make hybrid shooting instinctive through real sessions — not research

If you've been stuck in "I want to add video" mode without actually doing it, this episode is your starting point.

I’ll look at your pricing, workflow, and current bookings and show you how to increase your revenue per client in a way that makes sense for you.

And if it’s a fit, I’ll walk you through Hybrid Hub — my program where I teach photographers how to shoot, edit, market, and sell photo and video together with a clear, repeatable system.

If your calendar is full but your income isn’t growing the way it should, this episode breaks down exactly why.

A lot of photographers hit a point where they’re getting consistent inquiries, booking clients, and doing everything right on paper — but their income stays flat. The default solution becomes “do more,” and that’s where things start to fall apart.

In this episode, I’m walking through the real reason this happens and what needs to shift if you want to increase your income without taking on more shoots.

This is not about working harder. It’s about changing how your business makes money.

We’re getting into:

•  The plateau no one talks about after you get fully booked 
•  Why trying to scale with volume will keep you stuck 
•  The difference between a volume-based business and a value-based business 
•  Why raising your prices alone eventually stops working 
•  How to increase what you make per booking without adding more clients 
•  Where video fits into this (and what most people get wrong about it) 
•  How clients think about photo vs photo + video 
•  The real objections photographers have — and how to approach them in a practical way 
•  What changes in your business when you shift from volume to value 

If you’ve been feeling maxed out, this will help you understand what’s going on and what to do next.

If you’re a wedding photographer who thinks you have to choose between getting the photo OR the video, this episode is going to completely rewire how you think about hybrid shooting.

In this live Hang w/ Shay episode of the Hybrid Hangout podcast, I’m breaking down the exact mental framework I use on a wedding day so I’m never guessing, never scrambling, and never worried about missing something.

Here’s the core of it:
You’re not taking one photo and then grabbing random clips.

You’re capturing the same five perspectives as BOTH photo and video so you walk away with complete coverage every time.

Wide photo → 5-second wide video
Long photo → 5-second long video
Close photo → 5-second close video
Detail photo → 5-second detail video
B-roll photo → 5-second b-roll video

That’s the system. It keeps you grounded in how photographers already see scenes while layering in just enough motion to tell a story later.

This isn’t about turning yourself into a filmmaker overnight. It’s about realizing you already know how to see moments. You just need a repeatable plan for what to capture while you’re there.

We also talk about why more cameras and bigger teams don’t automatically make you a better hybrid shooter, how intentional coverage actually improves your galleries, and the mindset shift that makes hybrid feel simple instead of overwhelming.

MEDIA REC:
Go watch something visually stunning and study the framing and storytelling. A few ideas: Pride and Prejudice (2005), One Day on Netflix, or Age of Adeline. Pay attention to what each shot is doing in the story, then try applying that thinking to your next wedding.

DM me what you watched and what inspired you: https://www.instagram.com/hybridhangout/

FLOWERS:

Shoutout to Emily from ETC Photography and Elevated Shoots for her inclusive styled shoot series in Crested Butte this July.

If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: hybrid shooting doesn’t require more coverage, it just requires more intention.

Try the five-perspective approach at your next wedding, even if it’s just during one part of the day, and watch how much more confident you feel going into the edit.

And if you want help actually implementing this into your business, DM me @hybridhangout or book a call and we can talk about whether Hybrid Hub is the right move for you.

In this first episode of Hybrid Hangout, I’m telling the full story behind the last year of my life and business and why I’m done moving in silence. I spent way too long overthinking, spiraling about being seen, and waiting to feel ready, and this episode is really about what changed and why messy action is the only way forward.

I talk about where I come from, what success actually looks like for me right now, and why I want this podcast to feel honest, helpful, and actually fun to listen to instead of performative or polished. You’ll hear the behind the scenes timeline of opening and closing the studio, rebranding, partnership changes, burnout, rebuilding trust with my audience, and creating Hybrid Hub.

There is also a real lesson in here. The biggest shift that has changed how I approach goals, consistency, and follow through is this: imposter syndrome asks “am I good enough?” but self confidence asks “what do people need?” If you take anything from this episode, I hope it’s that reframe.

We also get into a hot take on visibility and why most photographers are not stuck because they need more information. They are stuck because they are staying invisible behind preparation, planning, and perfectionism. Momentum only comes from doing.

MEDIA RECOMMENDATION:
I mentioned a video from Ali Abdaal that perfectly explains the mindset of treating life and business like experiments instead of permanent decisions.

This week’s episode is a big one. After two incredible years of building our education business, traveling, hosting retreats, and creating this community together, Devin is stepping away to focus on her family and her health after a really hard year personally.

We’ve always said the goal of business is to build a life you actually want — one that makes space for peace, family, and freedom — and this decision is part of that. I couldn’t be prouder of her for choosing what’s right, even when it isn’t easy.

We’re so damn proud of everything we built together — the events, the launches, the people we’ve met — and endlessly grateful for every single one of you who’s been part of this ride. Don’t worry: Devin’s not disappearing forever, and we’re already dreaming up ways to collaborate next year.

Moving forward, the business and podcast will be just me (Shay). I’m going to serve the hell out of you, and you can expect free events/education/coworking over the next couple of months, unfiltered education, and a whole new chapter of the show coming in the new year under a new brand.

Destini is a force. She’s a hair + makeup artist who absolutely crushed it at our Montana photo/video retreat, but she’s also building something way bigger—pioneering curly hair and braiding in an area where hardly anyone else is doing it, pushing for diversity in vendor teams (not just diverse models), and speaking honestly about what it feels like to be a Black artist in mostly white spaces.

This episode is equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and unfiltered. Destini shares her hot takes and pet peeves about photographers (lmao, we had to), plus what it’s really like to carve out a niche that nobody else around you is filling.

If you care about diversity in the wedding + photo/video industry, if you’re a photographer who wants to work better with hair/makeup artists, or if you just want to laugh and hear from someone unapologetically real—this one’s for you.

This episode of The Devin and Shay Show is as raw and unfiltered as it gets. We’re spilling every single detail about hosting our Montana photo + video retreat—the wins, the mistakes, the behind-the-scenes chaos, and everything we learned about planning, marketing, and executing an event like this.

We put an enormous amount of pressure on ourselves to make this the best retreat in the industry—not just another styled shoot or business weekend, but a true experience that delivered on every level. Did we pull it off? That’s what we’re talking about here, no filter.

It’s vulnerable, it’s juicy, and we don’t hold anything back. We’re so grateful for every photographer and videographer who trusted us enough to come, and for the team that helped bring it all together in Northwest Montana.

If you’ve ever thought about hosting your own retreat, or you’re just curious what it really takes behind the scenes, this one is for you.

In this episode of The Devin and Shay Show, Shay interviews Pinterest and SEO consultant Julia Bocchese about how photographers can use Pinterest to consistently generate inquiries. Julia shares why Pinterest should be treated like a search engine, the importance of keyword-rich pins and optimized boards, and how to use Pinterest Trends and Google Analytics for content planning. She also dives into website best practices to make sure Pinterest traffic actually converts, and when it makes sense to hire out Pinterest management. This episode is packed with actionable strategies for photographers who want leads without relying on Instagram.

 In this episode of The Devin and Shay Show, Shay interviews sales coach and strategist Megan Smyth about sales strategies every photographer and videographer needs to book more clients. Megan shares how to build a simple sales funnel using a lead magnet and email marketing, why sales calls should always end with a clear yes, no, or next step, and how to handle money objections with empathy instead of pressure. They dive into the difference between marketing and selling, how to stop relying on referrals, and the small changes that can double your conversion rates. If you’ve ever struggled with sales calls, ghosted inquiries, or wondered how email fits into your photography business, this conversation is packed with actionable strategies you can implement right away.

In this episode of The Devin and Shay Show, Devin and Shay talk with astrologer and transformational coach Jaz about astrology, entrepreneurship, and navigating change. They reflect on an inside joke from the early days of their business—when Jaz predicted a two-year Pluto transit just as Shay said they needed two years to reach profitability—and how it all came full circle during their rebrand. Jaz shares how chart readings can guide timing and clarity, why heart-centered people make powerful leaders, and how astrology can support creative entrepreneurs through pivots and growth.

SHAY HAS THE ICK.  In this episode of The Devin and Shay Show, Devin and Shay break down why they’re ditching the word luxury in their wedding photography and videography business. They share unfiltered thoughts on how the wedding industry uses “luxury” as a buzzword for posturing, why it doesn’t reflect the couples they serve, and how photographers can build a high-end brand without selling out their values. From handling rainy elopements to dealing with out-of-touch planners, they talk about what couples actually want on their wedding day — and how staying authentic is the real key to scaling a profitable, sustainable business.

If you're afraid to invest in your photography or videography business, you're not alone. One of the biggest things holding creatives back is fear—fear of spending money, fear of not making it back, and fear of failure. But the truth is, fear and belief can’t exist in the same space. In this episode, we’re talking about how that fear often stems from not separating personal and business finances, and how real business growth starts when you learn to invest with a plan. We also walk through the mindset shift needed to move from scarcity to strategy and how our next retreat will help you make that shift.

RIP Hey, Thriver

We’re spilling everything—why we’re rebranding, what’s happening to our paid programs, and what’s next for The Devin and Shay Show.

After months of behind-the-scenes changes, we’re finally sharing the full story: why we’re saying goodbye to the Hey, Thriver name, what it means for you, and how we’re closing down all of our current courses and programs.

We’re going all in on our Montana & Glacier National Park retreat this season—and after that? We’re building something even better. One powerful, streamlined offer that brings everything we’ve ever taught into one place.

If you’re a photographer or videographer who’s been learning from us, cheering us on, or just wondering what the hell is going on... this episode is for you. We’re not going anywhere. In fact, we’re just getting started—and we’re still here to serve the hell out of you.
