TAILORED EDUCATION
OPPORTUNITIES to get you where YOU want to be
Early in my career, I also taught digital photography at a local college and I loved it. Being able to share with those who were excited to learn was so rewarding and energizing! Since then, I've mentored several photographers at various stages in their photography journeys, tailoring our sessions to their desired focus with great results. I look forward to helping you reach your goals, too!
Wherever you are in your business, I've been there! Success for me didn't happen overnight, but my business has grown every year for the past 20+ years. I'd love to share what I've learned along the way to help make that happen for you.

Our session last fall completely transformed my business. I've received so much positive feedback from planners and couples about how much they love the personalized pricing page. I feel like my booking rate is a lot higher AND I've started charging more and people are booking at the higher rate!

EDUCATION & MENTORSHIPS
PHOTOGRAPHY lessons
From beginners who are just picking up a camera for the first time, to experienced photographers looking to enhance their skills, I have taught at ALL levels and can customize a mentor session or series to help acheive your goals. General photography techniques, natural light portraiture, off-camera lighting and flash, Lightroom processing and photo editing... whatever your photography interests, I'm excited to share what I know with you through tailored instruction.
The refined portfolio
As a photographer, I know firsthand how stressful and overwhelming it can feel to update your online portfolio. The Refined Portfolio is my answer to that daunting feeling! It's a 1-on-1 portfolio review & curation series in which I personally guide you through creating an elevated portfolio. In as little as one week, you'll have a portfolio that will help you attract your ideal clients!
Business insight
I photographed my first wedding at 18 and officially launched my business in 2007. In my 16+ years of doing this for a living, my business has grown every year thanks to certain strategies I've either learned or developed along the way.
From pricing and proposals for luxury clients to Lightroom editing techniques, and so much more... I can share with you how to get you your business where you want it to be.
Tailored mentorship options to help you acheive your unique goals. Reach out to see what would work best for you!
The following Mentorship Topics are available in-person in LA, via Zoom, or as a combination of both.
Note: I'm not a business consultant and do not offer any legal, tax, or business finance advice.
