Our guest today is Caitlin of Caitlin Alohilani Photography. Caitlin is a family, wedding, and branding photographer based in Los Angeles, California. She was born and raised on the island of Oahu in Hawai’i, and credits much of her photographic eye, approach, and values to her upbringing in the islands and the eternal “aloha spirit.”

• The differences and strengths of introverts as photographers and business owners 
• How intuition and emotionally regulating people plays a nuanced role in the success of a shoot
• The blending of a brand through multiple genres
• What Caitlin learned about business and marketing for photography from her own recent wedding /
