7. Your Imperfections are Your Greatest Assets with Jess Roberts

This episode of The C Word Podcast is an absolute gem.

I’m joined by Jess Roberts, founder of The Who Photography and Design.

Jess has been a photographer for the past 12 years, and what makes her approach so unique is her focus on real, genuine, and true connection

As a creative I have often hidden behind my work and struggled to feel comfortable in front of the camera. Which is why this conversation is so great and so essential, because I believe this is true for many creatives.

In this chat, Jess is her usual warm and funny self. She believes it’s all about a world where it’s not just okay to be who you are, it’s celebrated. She explains why your perceived 'imperfections' are your greatest assets and you should embrace them because that's where true authenticity and connection comes from. And Jess lives and breathes that ethos in everything she does.

We talk about loss of identity, particularly for female business owners, and Jess’s own journey from feeling she didn’t really know who she was a creative to stepping out bolder and brighter.

Jess shares what it really takes to create genuine connection and how that translates in a photoshoot. We also dive into what that connection means not only for stronger, deeper client relationships but also a better relationship with ourselves.

And she also reveals her connection with Ed Sheeran.
