1:1 Mentoring Sessions for Photographers
Helping you find your unique style and feel confident in your skills – and never compare your journey with someone else’s.
Are you:
Getting lost in a sea of photographers and not quite sure how to shoot high-quality, consistent-to-YOUR-style images?
That’s what I’m here for!
Whether you’re ready to find your unique style as a photographer, turn your so-so images into a unique, scroll-stopping portfolio, or you just can’t seem to find the right lighting or editing techniques that serve your clients well.
Let me help you find consistency and confidence in your own skillset so that you can stop spending 16+ hours editing your photos or feeling lost when someone asks you “how should I pose?”
Sure, you have the determination.
But what you need right now is one-on-one attention so that you can learn the best practices when it comes to working with camera, lighting, editing, directing your client how to pose, etc.

1:1 In-Person Styled Shoot
INVESTMENT - $1200
A full day workshop for those seeking to refine their skills in photography so that you can walk into every session with confidence knowing that you’re going to thrill your client.
This includes 6-8 hours of coverage and a 1-2 hour styled session.
How it works:
Plan
I will organize and curate a set of storylines/scenes to guide our in-person shoot (either portrait or couple session) and a compelling shot list that helps you understand how to call out the best shots for any client.
Shoot Day
We’ll begin the shoot by you shadowing me while I explain what I’m doing and why. For the remainder of the shoot, you'll have the opportunity to practice what you've learned under my help, direction and feedback.
We will also be discussing camera and gear, lighting, posing, color theory, prompts and cues, shooting style, as well as balance and composition.Post-Shoot
After the shoot, we will return to the studio to go over my post-shoot process. From culling to professional editing in Lightroom and Photoshop, I’ll teach you all the tips and tricks so that you can maximize efficiency and quality. Then, we will discuss gallery delivery, marketing, branding, etc.
Final Review
I’ll answer any questions you may have and finish with a constructive critique of your photography work, social media, website, and more.
