Carissa Spencer: Why Slowing Down Might Be the Best Career Move You Make
Jun 9, 202654 minS2
Episode Summary In this episode of Artist Date, I sit down with Edmonton wedding photographer Carissa Spencer for a thoughtful conversation about burnout, motherhood, creativity, and redefining success. We talk about building a photography business that feels sustainable, learning to slow down in an industry that constantly pushes for more, and creating space for the things that matter most. Carissa shares her journey from second shooting weddings to photographing destination celebrations around the world, while finding a deeper sense of alignment both personally and professionally. Key Takeaways Success looks different for everyone. Building a meaningful career starts with defining success for yourself instead of chasing someone else's version of it. Slowing down creates clarity. Taking intentional pauses can help you reconnect with your creativity, values, and long-term vision. You don't need to say yes to everything. Boundaries are essential for building a sustainable business and protecting your energy. Your personal life fuels your creative life. Pursuing interests outside of photography can make you a stronger artist, business owner, and human. Comparison creates noise. The more attention you give to your own path, the easier it becomes to make decisions that align with your goals. Connection is at the heart of photography. The relationships we build often become the most meaningful part of the work. Growth requires regular reflection. The version of yourself who started your business may not be the same person running it today. Presence is a creative advantage. Some of the most important moments happen when we stop chasing what's next and fully experience where we are. Loved this conversation?

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
