Making sure you’re in the memories:

A chat with Nicole Smith, founder of Flytographer

In today’s episode I am chatting with Nicole Smith, founder of Flytographer. I am obsessed with this company and totally inspired by Nicole as a mom and entrepreneur for creating such an incredible service. If you don’t know about Flytographer, it’s kind of like AirBnB for photo shoots, anywhere you travel. She has created a massive network of photographers in 400 cities around the world, and a seamless central booking system. But it’s so much more than that, and Nicole shares what she loves most about the service.

We booked Flytographer for our family trip to Maui and it was awesome (shoutout to Taena!). We came away with the best souvenirs possible, beautifully captured memories. It was easy, quick, and super fun.

Nicole and I chat about how so often moms are the ones behind the camera, and don’t show up in the family photos as much as everyone else. Photos can be a legacy for your family and you need to be there too!
