It’s easy to lose the creative spark that brought you to photography in the first place. Between running a business, keeping up with clients, and tackling your endless to-do list, the joy of making art can start to feel like a distant memory. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Trish Chong, an incredible family photographer, educator, and all-around thoughtful human being, to talk about the power of personal work in a creative business. For over a decade, Trish has kicked off each year with her “January Project”—a deeply personal tradition that melds photography and journaling. What started as a way to document her family has grown into a cornerstone of her creative practice, a magnet for aligned clients, and a powerful remedy for burnout. Personal work like this can reignite your love for photography, give you a fresh perspective on your life and art, and even benefit your business in the process. Whether you're looking for a reset, battling burnout, or just want to feel inspired again, this conversation will remind you of the power of picking up your camera for you.<ul><li>Download <a href='https://tealilyphotography.com/january'>Trish’s Personal Project Guide</a></li><li>Visit <a href='https://tealilyphotography.com/'>Tea Lily Photography</a></li></ul><ul><li>New around here? <a href="https://thiscantbethathard.com/welcome">Grab 3 of my most popular free resources</a> to build a profitable, sustainable photography business</li></ul>Resources: <ul> <li> New to the podcast?
