Headshot captured by my dear friend Katrina Wallace.
I am thrilled you are interested in growing as a business owner. Whether you are at the beginning stages or 10 years into your venture and need help with a refresh, business-to-business coaching is a passion of mine. Below I have mapped out a series of steps to help give concrete insight and steps to build and grow. Mentorship is an established relationship that aims for clear communication, goal-setting and accountability. If you are ready for a season of professional growth and refinement, I would be honored to mentor you!
Business + Photography Mentorship
I took a couple college courses in photography, but what actually established my skills and trajectory as a professional photographer was the 1:1 mentoring. In 2025 we launched our 1:1 mentorship meetings that are open-ended. Whether it’s a specific area of shooting that you need to nail (external flash? dance floor inspo? posing portraits? giving directions? capturing golden light? understanding your gear? business development? help craft and establish new revenue streams when not shooting families and weddings?) or if you need to get into the weeds of business structure, incorporating AI and marketing strategies— let’s talk. My 3 areas of expertise are: (1) capturing people and making a business of it (2) building revenue streams (3) sales and marketing (ASIDE from social media) with AI tools.
