Investing into Your Business
Two frequently asked questions are, "Do you offer mentorships?" and "How do you recommend I build my portfolio?" I'm happy to share that I make both opportunities available.
Mentorships
Every photographer reaches a point in their journey where they need fresh ideas—-whether they’re just starting out or looking to refine their skills. Posing, lighting, editing, marketing-—these elements evolve, and learning from others in the field can be a game-changer.
That’s where my one-on-one mentorships come in. These hands-on learning experiences are a time of no secrets-—I’m an open book and you can ask me anything. I offer two mentorship options: Mini and Mastery sessions.
Mini Mentorship | 2 Hours for $750
In this session, we’ll focus on the areas where you want to grow most, tailoring the topics to your needs. Here are some examples of what we can cover:
- The camera settings I can almost guarantee are holding most photographers back
- The gear purchases that were worth every penny—-and the ones I regret
- The workflow that lets me deliver consistently without living behind a computer
- How I developed a recognizable style in a crowded industry
- The business decisions that moved photography from hobby to career
- The posing framework I use when clients tell me, "We're awkward in photos"
- The contract systems I've refined and relied on to safeguard hundreds of projects, including niche clauses, real-life stories, and costly loopholes
- My secrets to creating strong images in lighting conditions that make pro photographers panic
- The marketing efforts that actually generated bookings--and the ones that didn't
- How to choose a niche before investing years going down the wrong path
- What I do behind the scenes to prevent wedding-day photography disasters
- How I anticipate moments before they happen and create a gallery that is complete and intentional
- The insurance protections I'd put in place immediately if I were starting over today
- Births: How I've prepared for and photographed life's most emotional moments with professionalism, sensitivity, and respect
This is your chance to get a decade's worth of knowledge in just a few hours!
MASTERY Mentorship | Half-Day FOR $1,450
In addition to the mini session, this mentorship includes a curated styled shoot for hands-on training and portfolio building. You’ll get a full workshop-style experience tailored specifically to you.
You'll then be shown my post-shoot editing and delivery process and be given updated headshots by me to refresh your brand.
Styled Shoots
Looking to elevate your photography business with modern, authentic portfolio work? Just starting out and need sample galleries to attract clients?
Let me know the niche you want to build, and I’ll design a custom shoot with experienced models and carefully curated details—-you just show up and shoot! I regularly collaborate with talented creatives in the industry, giving you the opportunity to connect not only with me but also with other professionals and vendors.
During the session, you’ll capture stunning portfolio work while gaining hands-on training. You’ll observe real-time direction on lighting, posing, and camera settings, giving you valuable insight into the process.
