This week on High, Low, and Unexpected, Shaun sits down with Los Angeles-based wedding photographer Jes Workman to talk about the soulful side of film photography and the grit required to sustain a global creative business.

Jes has built an incredible brand centered on deep, lasting connections, often transitioning from "the photographer" to a lifelong friend for her clients.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The "Alignment" High: How Jes shifted her business to attract clients who share her values, and why being invited into their homes years later to document their next chapters is the ultimate success.
The 2020 Reality Check: A vulnerable look at the year Jes went from 38 scheduled weddings to just 4, and the hard lessons learned about financial stability, survival, and calling on family for support.
The "Fairness" Trap: Jes shares an unexpected story of a high-profile wedding that appeared perfect on the outside but challenged her professionally behind the scenes.
Building Business Muscles: How navigating "heavy-weight" challenges—like a global pandemic or unfair treatment—builds the resilience needed to handle the daily stresses of entrepreneurship with ease.

Jes’s story is a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship isn’t just about the beautiful end product—it’s about the strength we gain through the struggle and the perspective we find in the clouds.

Whether you’re looking to find your own creative spark, navigate a difficult season, or simply be reminded that your unique voice matters—this conversation will meet you there.
