Welcome to Summer School, the podcast where we explore the world of creativity, entrepreneurship, and beyond. While I may be a wedding photographer by trade, my goal for this podcast is to break free from creative constraints and invite a wide range of guests to join us in thought-provoking conversations. Expect to hear from professionals in various fields – from educators to accountants, musicians to artists, and business owners of all kinds. My aim is to dive deep into the experiences, inspirations, and the nitty gritty of being an entrepreneur. Tune in today, hit subscribe and leave a review if you love what you hear.

<p class="" data-start="107" data-end="369">Hi friends! In this episode, Kari and I are covering all things ChatGPT and how we love using it as a tool to help run our businesses. We share a bunch of awesome ways it supports us — how it saves time, helps us stay creative, and keeps things running smoothly.</p> <p class="" data-start="371" data-end="686">We’ll walk you through easy ways to get started, real prompts we use all the time, and what it does really well (plus a few things we wish it did better). From writing client emails to planning timelines and generating content ideas — this tool has become a game-changer for both our photography and education work.</p> <p class="p1">Meet Kari:</p> <p class="p1">Kari Tello is a travel wedding photographer based on the West Coast, shooting both film and digital. She’s all about capturing honest moments and creating a laid-back experience for her couples. Kari also uses tools like ChatGPT to streamline her business and keep things running smoothly—so she can spend more time doing what she loves, both behind the camera and outside of work. - She used ChatGPT to write this.

<p class="p1">Hi everyone! Today I had the honor of chatting with the incredibly talented Autumn Jordan—a New York and Vermont-based film and Super8 photographer with over 15 years of experience. Autumn shares her creative journey, from long hours in the college darkroom to becoming a sought-after wedding photographer known for her emotionally rich, film-first approach. We dive deep into the art and technical side of film photography—discussing hybrid workflows, the importance of building strong relationships with pro labs, and her favorite film cameras (including some dream gear).</p> <p class="p1">Meet Autumn:</p> <p class="p1">Autumn Jordan is a photographer based in New York and Vermont, working primarily on film and Super8, traveling worldwide. Through her 15 years of experience, Autumn has honed her craft with a delicate intensity—capturing the quiet moments that matter, and the memories that will stretch across generations. An artist first and foremost, her photos spotlight the intangible magic of being alive and the tender warmth of connection. Autumn graduated from Bennington College with a BFA in Film Photography in 2014, and her heart has grown with the medium since she picked up her first film camera over a decade ago.</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p3"><strong>Want to learn more from Autumn?
