get started
You had someone who could help you get your photography business off the ground?
Someone who has been through it (the hard way) and knows all the mistakes to avoid?
You knew someone who could help you fast track your success?
You're probably in the early years of your photography business.
You have no clue if your pricing is profitable or what the heck bookkeeping even is
You're pretty overwhelmed by the business side of photography
You're tired of dropping the ball and forgetting things on your to-do list
You don't have time to figure it all out on your own
You want to find a better way before you plunge into burnout...or worse, give up.
I was in the early years of my photography business with no experience of how to run a business
I wasn't sure how to pay myself from my own business...so I didn't really
I worried if I remembered to backup my memory cards, email a client, or delivery a gallery
I based my pricing around what others in my area were charging, not knowing how they came to those numbers
I was overwhelmed and frustrated at the amount of admin tasks to run a business
I went from confused and overwhelmed by the business to a confident and profitable business owner.
No business degree
No mentor
No clue what I was doing
But there was ONE thing I did have...
Setup my business properly
Create profitable packages
Save time & effort with automated systems
Craft an elevated experience
Pay myself confidently
Congratulations on embarking on your photography journey! Whether you're a brand new to photography or you've been shooting for a few years now, I'm here to support you and share all the resources and knowledge you need to take your business to the next level and achieve your goals.

Each mentor session is customized to meet your unique needs, so you can be assured that you're getting personalized guidance that aligns with your goals. I'm excited to help you on your journey to becoming a successful photographer and entrepreneur!
Every business is different and that's what makes them amazing! There's no single perfect plan for business strategy. That's why I keep things simple during our sessions. You're in charge of what you want to learn and how much help you need.
You can choose between Online Mentoring and Voxer Coaching sessions and In-Person VIP Day options. Check out the different mentoring packages I offer by scrolling down!
If you're not sure which option to go with, just fill out the inquiry form and tell me what you're looking for. I'll help you figure out which package is best for you!
Maybe you wish you had a coach in your back pocket to ask questions as you think of them. Voxer is a great way to get all your questions answered without having to schedule a specific time to meet. All questions asked during a designated timeframe will be answered asynchronously.
Are you ready to hit the ground running? This package includes six hours of mentoring and six accountability calls after the workshop. It's perfect for those who want to take a deep dive into their business right away and create a lot of momentum in a short amount of time. Let's work together to make big things happen!
Whether it's help with pricing, getting a website audit, talking about building a personal brand, or photography business topics, no question or topic is off-limits! You'll walk away with your questions answered and ready to take your business to the next level.

Whether you're just starting out with your photography business or you're already established and looking to take a deep dive into improving, this workshop is perfect for you! We'll cover everything from legal requirements to camera skills, branding, online presence, attracting clients, shooting, image delivery, and blogging. You can ask me anything and everything - I'm an open book. You get to choose the focus of our session.
To begin, simply fill out an inquiry form to set up a discovery call. We'll use this call to discuss any questions you have about the mentorship, go over the investment, and schedule your mentoring day. Once we've scheduled your day, you'll need to sign a contract and make full payment to secure your spot. I'll then send you a discovery questionnaire to help me tailor the workshop to your specific needs!
If you choose to have an in-person session, we'll meet at my studio in Frisco, TX. If you're not in the area, we can do your mentoring workshop via Zoom! By the end of our session, you'll have a complete step-by-step "What's Next" list to start implementing in your business.
Following the workshop, we'll have six accountability calls, to be used within six months, to check in on your progress and answer any new questions that arise!

Are you feeling a bit lost and unsure where to start with your photography business? No worries! Let's have a Mentoring Power Hour either over Zoom or in-person over coffee. During this hour, you can ask me any questions you have, and I'll be an open book!
This is also a fantastic option if you're not quite ready to invest in a Half or Full Day Workshop. We can schedule individual Power Hours every few weeks or months to gradually help you get your business set up without having to make the full investment upfront.
If you decide after going through a Power Hour that a Full Day Mentoring Workshop would be more beneficial, you'll be able to book the full workshop for just $575!

Half Day Mentoring Workshops are a good option for those who want to work on a specific area of their business. You may want to learn more about using your camera, defining your ideal client, creating a smoother workflow, or figuring out how to price your services. This option provides a good starting point.
To begin, fill out an inquiry form to set up a discovery call. During this call, we will answer your questions about the mentorship, discuss the investment, and schedule your mentoring day. To secure your date, you will need to sign a contract and pay in full. After booking, I will send you a discovery questionnaire to help me create a workshop tailored to your needs.
If you prefer an in-person session, we will meet at my studio in Frisco, TX. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Alternatively, you may choose to have your mentoring workshop via Zoom if you are not in the area. At the end of the workshop, you will receive a complete, step-by-step "What's Next" list to guide your business implementation.

Mentoring will take place over Zoom at a scheduled time. You can ask any and all questions in person. Voxer Coaching takes place over the course of a day and you can ask questions during that time frame. Answers will be answered asynchronously.
I have one in the works, thanks for asking! You can get on the waitlist here.
Possibly! Occasionally I'll reach out to past mentoring clients to help with photoshoots. If that's you, let's set up a mentor session first!
During a VIP Day, we'll evaluate your current systems, pricing, and workflows. Depending on the scope of what needs to be done, we'll come up with a plan to push your business forward.
You can check that out here.
If after your first mentoring session, VIP Day, or Voxer Coaching Day, you feel like you need additional support, you are welcome to book another session.
