Vicki Taufer - The Nudge

Jaimy Ellis

I would describe myself as a down-to-earth creative who isn’t afraid to be honest. I like to have fun and act like a weird-o sometimes. I strongly believe that having killer photos of yourself, no matter who you are, can work wonders on your confidence and I love being able to create that imagery for teens as they begin the journey of stepping out on their own in this crazy world. A senior portrait isn’t just a rad profile pic but a chance to show the world the REAL you. Believe it or not, I’m a country girl at heart and learned of my love for photography through 4H. I started a full service portrait studio in 2006 after graduating from Hawkeye Comm. College with a degree in Professional Photography. It grew quickly and I soon realized that my favorite subjects were seniors. When I started this biz in 2014 I was bound and determined to build a brand solely focusing on teen photography. I continue furthering my skills through conferences, workshops and competitions and became a Master of Photography through Professional Photographers of America in 2017 with nationally award winning images and albums. I will never stop learning how to better my craft, and I’m so excited to be able to teach other photographers how to create amazing experiences for their clients as well.

Laretta Houston was born in Angeles City, Philippines. From struggle and poverty evolved an inspirational vision of beauty and life all around her. Laretta’s story could easily have taken such a different turn if not for her determination and strength. Born the daughter of a military father and a Filipino mother who traveled a lot, she spent most of her time with relatives modestly raised in poverty without luxury. After losing her mother at age 13 to Lupus, this is when she entered her journey through the foster care system, eventually making her way to the United States, where she was determined to change the course of her life. Struggling to balance work, school, and being a single mother, she found her love in photography. Having a multimedia background would also prove to be an invaluable help in marketing her passion as well as giving incredible insights into advertising and marketing needs.  She has photograph clients such as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, ABC (Dancing with the Stars, VH1, Allergan, Broadway Shoes, Spanx, Proctor and Gamble, CDC, Modelland, and more.

Join Jed Taufer as he hosts conversations with your favorite photographers and creatives covering topics of all shapes and sizes.

There are many intriguing guests with some amazing stories on this podcast, but what impresses me the most is Jed Taufer’s ability to listen well and engage in meaningful conversation with each person that comes on his show. He asks such great questions and interjects only at key moments, either to ask another great question or to briefly mention something that reinforces the fact that he’s really listening to what his guest is saying. The ability to listen well seems to be an incredibly rare skill these days.  If you listen to This Conversation, you’ll not only be entertained and learn a lot from each guest, but you’ll also learn a lot from Jed. I listen because he helps me have better conversations with others.

Kenna Klosterman

I remember discovering what eventually became the educational juggernaut CreativeLive. So many amazing instructors. So much wonderful content. But one of the things that stood out to me the most were the hosts, Kenna Klosterman and, at the time, Susan Roderick. They both had such wonderful personalities. I felt drawn to them and therefore, more to CreativeLive itself. You never know how someone like that is going to be in “real life”, though. And so I also remember the joy of discovering that Kenna and Susan were genuine. Their charm and charisma weren’t just a facade for the cameras. Because of that, I was super happy when Kenna agreed to sit with me for an interview. I didn’t know what to expect as we hadn’t really mapped out what we were going to cover. But I think what came out was authentic and so very helpful. And, in hindsight, I think, “We should never be surprised when an authentic person has an authentic conversation.”

Zach Daniels

Well, 2020 is upon us. And, as usual, many of us take on the proverbial self-reflections that come with a new year. I generally focus on health resolutions…physical, mental, spiritual etc. I don’t always succeed, but I’m not giving up either. It’s a new year and a new decade. Let’s jump right in by setting goals and making a plan to accomplish them. Take your health to the next level. Take your business to the next level. Take your life to the next level. You can do it. This episode of This Conversation features an interview with Zach Daniels. Zach is a pastor, a content creator, and a disruptor of systems. He has a passion for gear and for people. He drops a lot of insightful nuggets. He gives some great advice. And he cracks me up the entire time. Have fun with this one and use it to fire you up for the decade that stands before us. Let’s make it a great one, friends.

Tyler Jones

The story goes that at one point somebody asked Eric Clapton what it felt like to be the greatest guitar player in the world. His response was, “I don’t know. Ask Prince.” I have no idea if this story is true or not, but it’s powerful in that it demonstrates how much it means to be revered by others who are considered proficient in your field, or industry, or niche. The most requested interview that I’ve gotten from other photographers whom I’ve actually interviewed is Allison Tyler Jones. And of course the one I’ve heard from the most, has been my wife. Upon meeting Allison a couple years ago, my wife couldn’t stop talking about how amazing she was. And then when I made her acquaintance myself, I quickly understood why. Allison is absolutely brilliant. Listen to this one, and then listen to it again, my friends.

Kara Marie

I’ve found it a joy to speak with someone who’s authentic. I’ve also found that a necessary trait for authenticity is vulnerability. Being able to recognize your flaws or weaknesses whether past or present, is powerful. And I think it can lead to something even more powerful…confidence. I was having some trouble with something the other day and my 6 year old son was watching me. After failing to get it right for the third or fourth time, he spoke up. “Just have confidence, Dad. That’s all you need.” he said as serious as he could be. And he was right. Confidence is that powerful and important. Kara Marie knows this. And she knows it from her own experience. Her photography is niched in a way that inspires confidence in her clients. And many times, that’s exactly what they need.

Kara Marie On Inspring Confidence

Carey Sheffield

Everyone has a story, right? It’s an old cliché for sure, but clichés are a thing because there’s some truth to them. I didn’t know Carey Sheffield at all when it was suggested that I ask her to sit with me for a conversation at The Portrait Masters this past fall. I met her briefly and knew right away that I wanted to know more about her. She moves fast, so you have to keep up, but it’s so worth it if you can. Yes, she’s savvy and tenacious, but she’s also warm and endearing. I felt myself going back and forth between feeling overwhelmed and captivated. It was like watching a big-budget film unfold right across the table from me. I loved it. Carey has a powerful story, and I was made better on the other side of just getting to hear a part of it. I think you will be, too.

Carey Sheffield - No Apologies

Susan Stripling

I’ve heard it said that the two most common fears are death and public speaking…and not necessarily in that order. At least not in my case. And although I used to be deathly afraid of public speaking, it didn’t hold a candle to the issues I had with the fear of money. Or, more accurately, the fear of not having any. Growing up, we lost our house. It was the early 80’s and interest rates were in the high teens. Can you even imagine having a variable rate mortgage sitting at around 18%? In any case, I lived through some tough times with my family in those days. And a very deep fear was born. So when I sat down with Susan Stripling and she told me she wanted to talk about money and more specifically, saving money…my heart sank a bit. And yet, it was one of the best conversations I’ve had. Susan has a way of laying things out that are clear and concise. She’s relatable. She’s reasonable. And she’s really funny. At one point, she says, “I don’t like feeling afraid of things that I know that I have the power to change.” Amen to that, sister.

Jed Taufer

Well, 2019 has come to a close. And with it, the end of our second full year of podcasts on This Conversation. We hit our 100th episode this past October and we’re very much looking forward to providing you with more conversations that empower, educate, and entertain. I’ve put together some of my favorite moments from the past year. There were a LOT of them to pour through, so there are many moments that I didn’t have room for. But these clips provide a pretty good  idea of what This Conversation brings to the table. It never ceases to amaze me how people have so much to offer if you just give them a chance. I laughed. I cried. I was surprised and enlightened. And I laughed some more. Happy New Decade, everyone. Thanks for listening.

Arlene Evans

I’ve been very fortunate to grow up within a good family. My parents are high school sweethearts and have been married for almost 50 years. Their relationship has certainly seen its ups and downs, but they’ve weathered the storms over the years and their marriage is stronger as a result. I poke some fun at my parents a bit during this interview, but the truth is, I’m grateful for both of them, and I’m delighted to see the grandparents they’ve become to my own children. My family is on it’s own level when it comes to the important things in my life. For 20 years, my wife and I have been a part of the portrait and wedding photography industry. During that time, we’ve found ourselves part of another family so to speak. Arlene Evans has been a special member of that family for me. Arlene is someone I always enjoy seeing and even if it’s just in passing at a crazy trade show, she makes the effort to stop and give me a hug. She’s one of hardest working people I know and she always has a little twinkle in her eye…almost like she knows something that you don’t know yet. During this particular interview, though, it was I who knew something that she didn’t know. Right before we sat down to chat, I received a text message instructing me to be done with her before 5 o’clock as she was set to receive the first Lifetime Achievement award from The Portrait Masters. Arlene had no idea, of course, but looking back, I’m sure it directed some of my questions. I was so excited for her. And she absolutely deserves it. And I’m grateful that she’s a part of my family.
