17: Virginia Greuloch on Using Photography To See Ourselves and Our Families

Today on the show, I’m sharing a conversation with Virginia Greulock. Virginia is a mother, photographer and teacher who radiates enthusiasm for photography. She photographs her family and clients in the Cleveland, Ohio area and right now she’s teaching her first Click Photo School breakout - Connected - Images with Heart. On the show, we talk about the Pinterest perfect photos she took when she first became a mother and why that is not the kind of photo she takes these days. Virginia talks about her big why - how she came to understand why she was making photographs and she says its important to know your big why if you want your photos to be true to yourself. After we talk about know why we take our photos we also talk about who we take them for - our audience - whether it’s potential clients, faraway family friends, our future selves or our children or our grandchildren. Virginia shares some of the games she introduces to the people she’s photographing to encourage real connection and joy. And, finally Virginia talks about her passion when teaching other photographers - that they be thrilled and proud of what they make.
