Photography Mentor & Business Coach for new photographers
Do you ever wish...
HI, I'M CATIE - PHOTOGRAPHER, WIFE, MOM, EDUCATOR & BUSINESS COACH
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?
Hey Photographer...
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.

You want to find a better way before you plunge into burnout...or worse, give up.
10 years ago, I was you.
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 knew there had to be a better way.
From Confused to Confident
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...
The GRIT to figure it out!
I learned to...
- Setup my business properly
- Create profitable packages
- Save time & effort with automated systems
- Craft an elevated experience
- Pay myself confidently
AND NOW I WANT TO TEACH YOU TO DO THE SAME!
One on One Mentoring
My main goal for our session isn't just to help your business get better. I want you to feel more confident in yourself as a business owner.
What is One on One Mentoring?
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.
I believe in being completely open and honest with those I mentor. So, no matter what questions you have, whether you feel it's too basic or silly to ask, I'm here to answer and share my experiences, opinions, and suggestions to help you make the best decisions for your business.
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!
The Investment
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.

Mentoring & Coaching
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.

Catie over delivered at every opportunity! Being in front of the camera can feel really awkward. But Catie made it comfortable. It was like hanging out with a friend, instead of a strictly professional situation. She made me feel at ease and guided me through the whole process.

Catie's photos had me in happy tears. I didn't know I could love my brand portraits so much! When your work is running a non-profit, it can be difficult to convey that in photos. I'm so happy with how my photos turned out.
