Episode 12: Women in the Wild with Suzanne Roady
Today I’m bringing you a new series for this podcast called, Women in the Wild. These are impromptu conversations with female photographers while out in the literal wild. You’ll be hearing extra back ground noises like kayaks bumping each other, jackets swishing, birds doing their thing and more.
In this episode, I chat with Suzanne Roady who I met while kayaking and photographing the cypress swamps in East Texas. You’ll hear about her journey in photography and our experience among the cypress. If you’d like to join me next year for a women’s kayaking/photography retreat dm me on instagram or email me at wow@wildwomanphotography.com.
