Today on the Six Figure Photography Podcast, we’re sitting down with destination wedding photographer and mentor, Staci Brucks. 

Known for her refined, editorial imagery and timeless storytelling, Staci has built a brand rooted in connection and intentionality. But behind the beautiful work is also a story of courage — of learning how to show up on Instagram, grow an audience, and put herself out there even when it felt uncomfortable or scary. 

In this episode, we’ll unpack what it really takes to grow on Instagram, the mindset shifts that make visibility easier, and the small steps that lead to big opportunities.

What I love about Staci’s story is her reminder that growth doesn’t come from having it all figured out — it comes from showing up, even when it’s imperfect, even when it’s scary. 

Instagram isn’t just about numbers or algorithms; it’s about courage, consistency, and connection. If you’ve been waiting for permission to step into the spotlight, let this be your sign.
