(Your Photo Business)

For years I have been helping photographers take their HOBBY or INTERESTS and make it a reality, a profession and a CAREER.

With experience teaching in a classroom, in studio, on location, works shops, online, large groups, and one on one we can find a way to best suit your needs.

I have experience in almost all types of photography from WEDDING and PORTRAITS being my SPECIALTY to real estate, automotive, and product and EVERYTHING in BETWEEN. I also have a deep background in Video and Content creation.

From beginners to seasoned professionals, we will take your love of photography to the next level!

  • During this program we will work together on your goals, and skills.

  • We will set realistic expectations on a regular basis to measure success, reevaluate progress and set new goals.

  • We will meet virtually on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.

  • This mentorship will not be me holding your hand telling you good job sweetie. I will challenge you to push yourself.

 FAQs

  • A mentorship is like having a big brother or sister who wants to teach you how to ride a bike by pushing you down a hill with the training wheels off.

    Okay, I promise I won’t push you down a hill but I will push you to better yourself. I won’t sugar coat it (I’m a bit of a health nerd so I dont like sugar.) But I will get right to the point and do whatever I can to help you reach your goals.

    We will talk and review your goals and develop plans to get there. I will help teach you new techniques, and give advice. I can show you how to run a small business and all the necessary steps to do so. I will also give you insights from my personal and professional experience from over 17 years in the industry.
