Episode 1: Welcome to The Capturing Motherhood Podcast!
In the first episode of Capturing Motherhood, host Suzi Bird takes us through her story, the intent of what this podcast will bring, and what she hopes you will gain from listening. Based in Bristol in the UK, Suzi is a motherhood photographer who encompasses the journey of motherhood from maternity, to newborn, to the first year. Suzi started her photography journey 6 years ago. 3 years ago, she was able to take her passion full-time, which led to her being able to open her own studio 2 years ago. In the beginning, Suzi studied photography for fashion, advertising, and dance at university. With her location unable to provide access to dance subjects, Suzi focused in on her niche and began photographing newborns. Once she started motherhood photography, she realized how much she loved it and how much it aligned with her own personal values. With the pandemic shutting down events and athletics, it made sense to make the change while still keeping dance photography as a passion. Going from a makeshift studio in her kitchen to having her own full studio has been a liberating experience. Starting your own business is a freeing and fulfilling investment, but it does take time and work. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and make opportunities for yourself. Now, Suzi wants to help others learn the basics of beginning a creative business through this show and her many experiences. The show will also speak to mothers about their journey through motherhood. It’s important to create connections and community, and hopefully this show can be a friend in your pocket to lift you up when you need it most.
