I equip purpose-driven entrepreneurs and photographers to turn their story into connection—and their gifts into lasting impact.

hey friends, i'm katelyn

Shay is a dear friend, fellow business owner, believer, photographer, wife, mom and visionary. Her story is one of my favorites because her convictions about her time, her balance, and her business constantly call me up to a higher level of intentionality. She’s the perfect example of what it looks like to have a friend that breathes life and new inspiration into your life!

I am talking with my dear friend Shay Cochrane on the podcast! Shay is our FIRST guest on the Katelyn James podcast and what a breath of fresh air she is. 

Shay is a dear friend, fellow business owner, believer, photographer, wife, mom and visionary. Her story is one of my favorites because her convictions about her time, her balance, and her business constantly call me up to a higher level of intentionality. She’s the perfect example of what it looks like to have a friend that breathes life and new inspiration into your life! After reading that, doesn’t it make sense why she would be the FIRST GUEST on the podcast?! 

Our conversation focuses on life and business! We discuss how Shay needed a shift in her business so she could HAVE FUN serving her clients!  Don’t we all want that in our business?! 

Shay moved from wedding photography into commercial photography which then led her into creating Social Squares which is a stock image membership specifically for female entrepreneurs! She is creative, fun, smart, business savvy and ultimately pivots her life for the sake of her life! 

Shay chooses her lifestyle and then builds her life around the definition of what she wants her life to look like. Phew. Talk about INSPIRING!

In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about how she makes this statement possible as a wife, mom and business owner and how it can apply to all of us! She shares with us the boundaries she and her husband have created so that at the end of the work day, they are fully present with their family. Shay shares with us how her past experiences have shaped her into the hard working business woman and loving mom she is today! Thank you Shay for your transparency, boldness and your deep friendship! It was an honor to have you on as our very first guest of the Katelyn James Podcast!

Enjoy!
