🎙️ In this episode of the Hey, Thriver podcast, Shayna and Devin sit down with Eden Strader—photographer, business coach, and artificial lighting queen—to talk about:

• How Eden built a seven-figure business by 28 and transitioned from weddings to coaching during the pandemic
• Why she ditched 90-hour work weeks for a life full of freedom, fun, and fulfillment
• The rising trend of artificial lighting and how it empowers photographers to be more creative, consistent, and confident
• Affordable flash gear recommendations that don’t break the bank
• The truth about flash photography: how to make it match your natural light work, communicate clearly with clients, and never miss a sparkler exit again
• Why technical skill is essential for emotional storytelling—and how flash opens up a whole new world of artistry
• Eden’s free Artificial Light Guide and her upcoming flash photography workshop in NYC

✨ This episode is an absolute must-listen if you’ve ever felt intimidated by flash—or if you’re ready to level up your work, client experience, and confidence behind the camera.
