Every photographer's path to success looks different. Some of us went to school for photography, while others of us picked up a camera for the first time when our babies were born. I think one of my favorite things about talking to photographers is that no two success stories are ever the same.

Today’s guest is someone I have Instagram stalked for a long time, both for her beautiful images and her powerful words. And over the last few years, I've watched as her business has exploded.

From a social media perspective, it might seem like Carmen Bridgewater is one of those photographers who hits it big out of nowhere, but just like 99% of success stories out there, there was a long road leading to her "overnight success!"
