Mentorship
When I started my photography business, I wish someone had taught me the real deal. So, I’m here to share all those hidden gems they don’t tell you about. No need to keep everything under wraps or get caught up in unnecessary competition. Been there, done that, and I’m not about that life.
Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy at the start, but I turned things around big time! Now, I’m a full-time photographer, with tons of sessions and awards. And guess what? I’m ready to spill all the secrets so you can do the same!

The comprehensive 1:1 In Person Mentorship includes client communication, live portrait session, editing, pricing, advanced retouching, workflow, portfolio review, personalized guidance and on going support.
In virtual sessions, we usually allocate about 1 hour. If you find that more time is needed to cover all your questions, I suggest booking multiple sessions per month. Learning everything about photography in a single session isn't practical for accelerated growth, so weekly virtual mentor sessions are highly recommended.
Moreover, you can schedule as many mentorship sessions as you feel you need, and each session will be tailored to your specific needs.
Additionally, our hands-on 1:1 in-person sessions, conducted in a studio setting, last for a duration of 6 hours.
I value your ongoing success. While the formal sessions have a designated duration, some packages may include post-session support or follow-up opportunities. Feel free to inquire about additional support after the sessions are complete.

It's important to note that this is not a marketing or advertising class, and we don't promise you will leave making six figures by taking this mentorship. For in-depth learning about marketing and advertising, we recommend hiring a marketing professional or coach.
