Posing Guides, Checklists and Worksheets along with a list of links to my favorite business and editing tools.

Upcoming Events + Speaking

Upcoming conferences and workshops I'm attending or speaking at, as well as how you can have me teach at your event.

Is This You?

  • Taking photos on nights and weekends and wondering if this could actually be your full-time thing

  • Confused about pricing, marketing, or how any of this turns into real income

  • Watching other photographers online and thinking, I feel behind… am I?

  • Good with a camera but unsure how to run the business side without burning out

Here’s the honest part: Most photographers don’t get stuck because they aren’t talented. They get stuck because no one ever showed them how the business actually works.

This mentoring isn’t about shortcuts or overnight success.

It is about:

  • Clear next steps

  • A realistic plan that fits your life

  • Building confidence, not just skills

  • Helping you move forward without guessing everything

Mentoring Investment

Mentoring is an investment in building a business that actually supports your life not just your creativity.

Because every photographer comes in at a different stage, mentoring isn’t one-size-fits-all. Pricing is shared up front, and options are finalized after a discovery call to make sure we’re building the right plan for you.

Single Strategy Session

Starting at $250

Best for photographers who want clarity around a specific issue—pricing, next steps, marketing direction, or business structure.

What this includes:

  • One focused 1:1 session

  • Choose one or two hours depending on topic

  • Personalized feedback and clear action steps

  • A plan you can actually execute (not a to-do list from hell)

Ongoing 1:1 Mentoring

Starting at $700

Designed for photographers who want consistent support while building or transitioning into a sustainable business.

This may include:

  • Multiple mentoring sessions over time

  • Personalized curriculum and workbook

  • Accountability and guidance as you implement

  • Strategy tailored to your goals, schedule, and market

  • Support around pricing, systems, marketing, and confidence

  • No gatekeeping...ever

What Happens Next?

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting mentoring.
You just need to be ready to talk through where you are and where you want to go.

That’s what the discovery call is for. Fill out this quick form to get started.

Peak Senior Summit

February 3-5, 2026

If your senior bookings feel slower than you’d like, your online presence might be the problem...not your work.

At Peak Senior Summit, I’m teaching photographers how Gen Z (and Gen Alpha) searches, what platforms matter most right now, and how to make your business easier to find online without burning out.

It’s online. It’s free to attend.
