Some of the most memorable images of childhood aren't the polished, smile-on-cue portraits. They're the unguarded, in-between moments that capture who a kid really is. In this episode, Kim sits down with TMA mentor and Tampa-based photographer Laura Gattis to talk about her signature Childhood Narrative project, and what it looks like to build an offering that's entirely your own.
Topics Covered
How the Childhood Narrative was born and why it's different from a mini session, heirloom session, or personality portrait
Building a once-a-year signature offering that stands apart from what everyone else is shooting
The art of capturing authentic connection over posed perfection
Why a child mirrors the energy you bring, and how that shapes your approach behind the camera
Finding creative inspiration outside the photography world
Creating an offering rooted in your own style rather than chasing what's trending
The long-term payoff of treating clients well and building lasting relationships
Laura's approach is a reminder that the work that resonates most is the work that's truly yours. If you've ever felt the pull to create something different, this conversation will leave you inspired to lean into your own creative voice.
