1:1 Photography Mentoring

level-up Your photography Business

Growing a photography business can be tough, I know! Maybe you've made it this far just by watching YouTube videos, but now you need some honest insights and next-level advice from someone who has been where you are:

  • Juggling jobs but want to grow your biz into a full-time career?
  • Frustrated your final images aren't what you want them to be?
  • Desire to improve your editing & create a consistent editing style?
  • Want to book more clients & feel confident upping your prices?
  • Confused about lighting, lenses, locations, or <insert another "l" word>?



If so, then one-on one mentoring can help you take the next big step towards your goals! I've mentored dozens of photographers (from California to Germany and everywhere in between), and I'd love to help you next!

Each 2-hour 1:1 photography mentoring session is completely customized to your desired learning outcomes. Inquire below, and I'll reach out for a quick, low-key chat to make sure we're a good fit!
