In this episode, I sit down with Carly of Carly Michelle Photography — a fellow wedding photographer who, believe it or not, I’ve never actually met in person.

We talk about the pressure of growing a family while running a wedding business, what it was like for Carly to navigate IVF while still showing up for her couples, and the emotional weight of trying to “act normal” on someone else’s big day when your own world feels so uncertain.

We also dive into how much of our motherhood journey we each choose to share (or not share) on social media — and the moment every pregnant wedding vendor faces: telling your brides.

It’s honest, a little vulnerable, and a reminder that you're not alone.

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Meghan Ely—publicist, speaker, and founder of OFD Consulting—to talk about the realities of being a mother in the wedding industry. Meghan opens up about her son Oliver’s ADHD diagnosis and how that journey has reshaped her approach to parenting, business, and balance. We also explore how she built a powerhouse PR firm while staying rooted in family life. If you're a wedding pro navigating motherhood, this one will resonate deeply.
