Do you just feel stuck or want someone else’s perspective on what you are doing? Or just have some random questions that you’ve always wanted to ask me? This hour is great for a concentrated conversation that you can steer whichever way you want.

$400

After every virtual mentor session I have ever had, there has always been this lingering desire to follow up with any changes made, updates to the website, pricing guide, client experience, etc. This gives me the chance to chat with you once you’ve implemented the things we discuss in our first one-hour session and makes you accountable to follow through with the changes you need to make.

THE FULL WEDDING EXPERIENCE

This is a unique offering

that is only available to 2 students per year. I’ve never seen this done before but I truly believe it is the best way to learn every facet of how to be an incredible Wedding Photographer booking the ideal clients for YOU!

I will take you with me from an actual Client’s initial inquiry, through the Discovery Zoom and Booking process, while you’ll be learning the in’s and out’s of how I run my business, what app’s and automations I use and how I book the type of clients that are ideal for your business and style.

As if that wasn’t enough, you will come to their wedding with me for an in person look at how I manage the wedding day. Everything from guiding my couples to the gear I use, the client experience and how to KILL IT at every turn!

And last but certainly not least, I’ll walk you through my culling and editing process showing you how I simplify these huge tasks and deliver the final images to my clients.

This is the entire journey, with the same couple, from inquiry to delivery- a full education.

You aren’t really sure how to manage the business side of things and what programs to use or how to best deliver your final images?

You are stuck spending hours trying to make your images look better through editing?

You keep putting yourself out there but you’re not getting enough bookings?
