• 0:12
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to Laugh Love Law.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_01: Today's guest is a whole lot of fun.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_01: She has spent more than 20 years putting people in front of a camera and convincing them to relax.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_01: And then for reasons I will need explained a little later, she decided that wasn't terrifying enough, so she tried her hand at stand-up comedy.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: Sarah Miller O'Connor is an award-winning photographer and owner of Sarah Miller Photo Studio.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_01: She's built a career helping people, especially people who swear they hate having their picture taken.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_01: She makes them feel confident and beautiful in front of her lens.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_01: Then recently, Sarah stepped out from behind the camera, walked onto a comedy stage, and started making strangers laugh.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: Photographer, entrepreneur, comedian, and someone who apparently enjoys putting herself in increasingly uncomfortable situations.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_01: We're talking confidence, reinvention, photography, comedy, and what happens when the person who's usually behind the camera steps out in front of it.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: Sarah Miller O'Connor, welcome to Laugh Love Law.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so excited to be here.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, so technically you and I met because I hired you to take photos from my law firm.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_01: But our photo shoots are never exactly normal.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I believe the last one you photographed, I was in a ball pit.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: That was a lot of fun.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so what happened there?
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it was your idea and I loved it.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: So we just went with it.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: It was so colorful and fun, and you were up for anything.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: So it was it went really well.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was it was really fun.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: We wanted to do something colorful, um, something that was really representative of the podcast.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: And I guess when we put a whole lot of colors together, I ended up sitting in a ball pit taking some really fun pictures.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_01: Uh was that the weirdest photo shoot you've ever done?
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I I would say it's more on the fun side.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you are definitely one to make people relax when you're taking their picture.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm a hammer.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_01: I don't care about it.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'm relaxed.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_01: I don't have an issue.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: But when you did my office pictures, my receptionist was terrified to be in front of the camera.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: But you had her smiling and you had her relaxed.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: How do you do it?
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think honestly, sitting down with them and doing the hair and makeup first helps them to ease into the photo shoot instead of just jumping in.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: So that gives them time to relax, just have a conversation, and um also I tell people how to pose.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: So they don't feel like what do I do with my body, my hands, my feet, you know.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you give very specific direction.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: And the hair and makeup thing.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: I think you described your service as nose to toes, right?
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: So, like you come in and your photo shoot is nose to toes.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: What do you mean by that?
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: I yes, I say that I pose people from toes to nose.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: So we start with the feet and then we work our way up.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: But yes, I guess you could include like the service is nose to toes because we do the whole thing, the hair, the makeup, and then the posing and everything.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: So the person gets to feel beautiful from day one.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yep, yep.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: And you photograph people, uh a lot of uh professionals for like headshots and things like that.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: What other types of photos do you take?
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: Uh dogs.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: I love doing dog photography.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um, boudoir, which is also a lot of fun, um, and families, you know, just like the typical type of photos.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think having done quite a few photo shoots with you, your photography is anything but typical.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: And we had our office dog come in for pictures.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: He is our compostation specialist, and Kiko does not listen.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: He's a French bulldog, and somehow Sarah had him in his suit and tie uh posing for his uh professional portrait.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes, yeah.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: So, how in the world do you get dogs to pose for pictures?
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we kind of trick them with treats, and then I'll make like a crazy sound and they'll look, and that's all I need.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: I just need a split second, and that's it.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I just want to clarify Kiko did not get his hair and makeup done.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: So he's gonna have to come back for a full service appointment.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds good.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: So how long have you operated your own photography business?
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, five years now.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: Five years.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: And what made you make the leap into going out on your own?
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I just felt a tug.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I was feeling a little stuck, and I f I'm a creative person, and I felt like I wasn't being uh my kind of creative.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: I was being creative for other people when I wanted to kind of do my own thing.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: And so I decided to take the leap.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: It was scary, but very scary when you start your own business.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: So worth it.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: You had a lot of support from your family.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, from day one.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I love that.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I remember starting my own business ten years ago.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: Ten years goes so fast, and I could not have done it if my husband, my my daughters, and my family weren't supportive because it's it's a huge leap to go from you know getting that steady paycheck and your benefits taken care of to now this is on me and it's on my family, and it's it but best thing you ever did?
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, absolutely.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: I love that.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's talk about something I have never done and would be absolutely terrified to do uh these boudoir shots.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: So I know you said that you've actually been on the other side of the camera.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: You did your own.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: How terrifying was that?
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: So boudoir, for the people that don't know, uh, boudoir is basically sexy pictures in your underwear.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um I never planned to do boudoir photography, um, as a photographer, I should say, but I started seeing it more and more, and I was like, you know, this looks interesting.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: But before I did my first shoot for a client, I went and had it done for myself.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: So I hired a photographer and got boudoir shoot, uh boudoir shoot of myself to see what it felt like on the other side of the camera.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: I felt like that kind of better prepared me for being behind the camera and showing people how to pose, making them feel comfortable.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: So uh it was actually a lot of fun.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: In the beginning, it's like a little nerve-wracking, but after a while you're just like, yeah, whatever.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Like make my nipple came out.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, whatever.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, whoops, this nip slip, but you know, you cover it up and uh it's fine.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_01: It's fine.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: So we talked about this a little bit during my last shoot.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: What types of women come in to do these shoots?
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: Are they young and perfect and sexy?
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: Are they older?
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: Is it a combination of everything?
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_01: Like, what is it?
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Combination of everything, but most of my clients are like my age.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: They're like 25.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: I appreciate that.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm all 30, so I know.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm 47, but uh yeah, they're usually like my age or older.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: As a matter of fact, a woman came to me um for her 75th birthday.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: She treated herself.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: It was yeah, it was so much fun.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: We did the angel wings and everything.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was a blast.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so yeah, no, it's not people with perfect bodies, it's not young, beautiful.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean like every I think everybody's beautiful, but I'm saying, like, not people with like, you know, perfect skin and perfect bodies and all that.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: We make everybody look and feel beautiful.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: So it doesn't matter your size, your age.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: I I love that.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: Now, we we also talked about this a little bit a few weeks ago, but some people want their pictures to look absolutely perfect, and some want to show the the wrinkles, the curves, the and what would you say, 50-50?
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Or most people I'd say most people want to look natural, they want to look like themselves.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: So we do very light retouching, but some people are like, no, I want you to take my body and make it perfect, basically like a Barbie doll, and I'm like, we could do that too.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: So we do everything in between.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: And when people are doing these shoots, are they doing them for themselves, for a significant other combination?
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so people will say that they're doing it for their significant other, but really at the end of the day, I think they're really doing it for themselves.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, really, at the end of the day, I think that they uh they look at themselves and they feel so much more confident after seeing themselves in that way that they they didn't think that they had that kind of confidence.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so I'm a confident person, but you I'm sorry, you're never taking pictures of me in my underwear, and that is a gift to the world.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: Um so Sarah, somehow in your 40s, you decided that you weren't just like inside funny, but you were comedy club funny.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: Hell, what happened here?
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: I actually didn't think I was really funny.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I I my friend who's a comedian convinced me to take a class.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I was never gonna go on stage, I was just gonna take the class and not actually do the performance, but I got convinced by my classmates that I should do it, so I was like, okay, what the heck?
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: So, and then I wasn't gonna tell anybody about it, but then I told people about it and had a really good turnout, and turns out I actually was kind of funny, but I had a lot of help.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: It some of the jokes were mine, and some of them were my husband helping me or my friend helping me, so it I can't say it was all me.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: All right, but it was your delivery.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: It was yes, uh yes, I was the one delivering.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: And your husband was supportive about this as well.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: Definitely.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: He gave me a lot of jokes.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: You kind of have a cute mushy love story with your husband.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um how did you meet Jason?
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: Online.

  SPEAKER_00: People are like, we're so nice to each other, and I'm like, well, I don't know.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: I kind of like them, so you know.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: Sarah referred to her mushy gooshy love thing with her husband as kind of gross.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: I know we say that to each other all the time when we're like really super sweet with each other.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: We'll look at each other and go, oh, we're kind of gross.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, what's his absolute most annoying habit?
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, gosh.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: You see, you're only married eight years.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: You can't think of that immediately.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: You're a newlywed.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I no, that's not, that doesn't like no.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_01: I can't think of anything.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_01: Now, back to the comedian thing.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: You were actually paid for some of your performances?
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_01: So I think technically we can now refer to you as a professional comedian.
• 10:56

• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 10:59

  SPEAKER_01: Okay.

  SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: Where do you get your inspiration for jokes?
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: Um, real life.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: Real stories, yeah.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_01: Is it hard not to give away the butts of your jokes?
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: In other words, you're obviously taking things from real life.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: Uh client interactions, friends, family.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_01: Are you able to cover up those jokes enough to conceal identity?
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: I think so.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I make them pretty generic.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: What's your favorite kind of shoot to do?
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I love photographing dogs.

  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: Boudoir too.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: I love that too because of the confidence that I see um after the shoot.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: But the dogs are just so much fun.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: I do.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: I just love them so much.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: And you do that in your studio?

  SPEAKER_01: So can you tell us about that?

  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: So on those days, it's like a mini shoot for headshots.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: But when I say mini, it's still like, you know, you're still there for a couple of hours because we're still doing the hair and the makeup, we're still doing a few different outfits, different backgrounds, so you still get a nice variety.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: And then you get to see the pictures right after your shoot instead of waiting for a separate appointment.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: So uh, so I'll do back-to-back photo shoots.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: So it's kind of fast-paced, but it's a lot of fun, and we get a lot of people in and it's a good time.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: So and that's it's like a more uh like economical route to go, right?
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: If you if you want to just get your feet wet with headshots or something like that.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, yep.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: As opposed to my custom session, correct.
