Summary
In this episode, I sat down with Alex Nena, and we’re unpacking what community actually looks like in the photography industry. We talk about building real connections, navigating comparison, and why having people around you matters both personally and professionally. It’s an honest conversation about growth, support, and not trying to do everything on your own. Meet Alex: Alex Nena is a vintage- inspired wedding and elopement photographer based in California.
