Want a completely customized mentorship experience tailored to your specific goals and needs? This is for you.

More of a “do it myself” type of photog? I love that about you. My courses are a great place to start.

Full online shop for my PDF guides, Lightroom presets, Lightroom profiles, ALL THE TOOLS!

Need help figuring out what you need? Let’s talk about it!

I’ve been photographing weddings and people for 11+ years, and I still wake up thinking, “Holy shit, this is the dream.” But I don’t want to pretend it’s been a breeze since the beginning because I’ve ridden the Hot Mess Express a handful of times. But those moments of, “what the heck do I do now?” have been my greatest teachers.

And aside from photography, nothing lights me up quite like standing beside someone the moment something clicks. Witnessing and being part of someone’s business glow-up is intoxicating. I’ll never get enough. I firmly believe we all deserve someone to support our weird-ass dreams and goals.

That’s who I want to be for you—because there’s room for everyone in the world of photography, and I’m here to help you find yours.

Let’s not be strangers, k? Here’s a bit about me —

Seeing some things you’ve been meaning to master? Let’s make it happen!

Camera basics 101 (no shame here—but let’s get you proficient)
Camera gear (what to buy and how to use it)
Starting a photography business (essential systems + software, must-dos, invoices, and all of the things)
Approaching weddings (timelines, what to wear, how to speak to couples and their families, the day-of checklist)
Editing in Lightroom (how to do it and do it fast)
Photoshop (what everything means, how to use all of the tools, retouching skin, presets)
Client interaction (how to pose couples, how to get clients to wear certain attire, how to handle uncomfortable situations)
Pricing your services (where to start and when to raise them)
The legal side of business (taxes, contracts, and all of the less-than-sexy aspects of running your own biz)

PS: Asking for help can be scary and sometimes even embarrassing. But f*ck that! The fact you’re reaching out tells me you’re already ahead of the pack and will 100% be successful. Everyone has to learn somewhere, and I’m damn proud of you for deciding your time is now.

Mentorship Options

I’m not a “do it for you” type of teacher—but I’ll sit with you and gently guide you through the process until it becomes like second nature to you.
I’m also not here to turn you or your business into me and mine—I’m here to help you discover what makes you unique and amplify it.
I think shame and judgment are shitty and gross—you won’t find any of that here.
I’m all about plain English explanations—so don’t expect a bunch of photography jargon you’ll have to Google later on.
I will challenge you and encourage you to push your boundaries—because that’s how we grow.
I’m weird and a little quirky—but life would be so damn boring if I weren’t.

I’m not like a regular mentor, I’m a cool mentor
