152: Andria Lindquist – Find Your Passion, Find Your Voice, Watch Your Photography Business Soar

I was torn when thinking about introducing todays guest, Andria Lindquist. I was going to say, she was born in Sweden but lives and works from Seattle in the USA and her photography is fantastic but that intro just seemed too boring and a bad fit. You see, Andria has found the secret to success and teaches it to women. She says, find your passion, find your voice, watch your photography business soar. Humanizing yourself and sharing personal experiences is a good thing - Andria Lindquist I just finished watching a promo video from one of her "Oh shit!" workshops and find myself wishing I was a chick - it looked like more fun than any workshop I've ever been too! Andria says she's not obsessed with photography, it is a part of who she is. She also says a full callendar of shoots isn't important... but days she gets to create art and have a really fucking good time doing it are. She's one of a kind, she's found her passion and her voice and I'm rapt to have her on the show.

You can see my question and how incredibly helpful reply below: Question: If I own a Wordpress site and want to use a different font to what is built into the theme, what is the easiest way to do this and are there any considerations I need to make? Answer: Hi Andrew,  Thanks for the excellent question, I'll be sure to use this in next month's Q&A. First of all, many modern WordPress themes come with their own font controls (in their "Theme Options" section), usually referencing the great Google Fonts library. If your font doesn't have such options I'll look for a theme version update (if available) or even assess the quality of the theme. If you find any other limitations with it too,
