The Art of Showing Up ⚡️ Creativity, Visibility, and Camera Confidence with Lisa Haukom
Fri Feb 06 2026
"There's a difference between getting stuck in research mode and waiting for somebody to tell you that you're gonna be good at the thing." — Lisa Haukom
This episode is your invitation to explore whether you’re navigating visibility, or craving a creative reset this conversation is full of grounded wisdom. I’m joined by content partner, photographer, and founder of The Golden Brand, Lisa Haukom.
Lisa shares her innovative approach to remote photography that feels natural, honest, and deeply personal. She walks us through her process, where clients forget about the camera, settle into their own space, and leave with photos that feel like themselves.
We also dive into the origins of Photo Club, Lisa opens up about her own self-portrait practice and how it helped her confront body image challenges, helped her develop empathy, and became the foundation for helping others feel seen and comfortable on camera through self-portrait challenges.
Whether you’re navigating visibility, or craving a creative reset, this conversation is full of grounded wisdom. Lisa reminds us that when we stop hiding our ideas, allow ourselves to receive support, and let others witness our work, creativity becomes more impactful, easeful, and sustainable.
