Episode 16 - Insights from the Other Side of the Camera

While hands-on experience is vital, nothing elevates your photography like being in front of the camera. We’ve stepped in front of the lens not just to capture our own family memories, but to reconnect with the experience of being the subject. In this episode, we explore the nuances of going incognito as the client—the good the bad, and everything between. We’ll discuss how this experience has influenced our shooting, business approach, and client relationships. Photographers, don’t miss this one!

Episode 15 - The Origin of C R Photos | Part 2

How did we get here? In this episode, we conclude the "Origin Story" of C R PHOTOS. We revisit the hospital room where our son’s challenging journey began—an experience that forever changed our lives. During that difficult time, we were supported by the prayers of friends, family, and even strangers. Though Ronan’s journey was tough, we wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Join us as we reflect on how we overcame those challenges and how we got to where we are today.

Do you really know the "C" and "R" behind the cameras? Well, even after 15 years together WE still have burning questions waiting to find their answers!

One of us may have been trying to boil the pot- will stew be cooked today? Listen to find out!
