mentoring

This covers training and tips on basic shooting & camera, editing, lighting, posing, workflow, social media, networking, marketing, and more! I am offering THREE summer mentorships and they will each include two 2-hour in person one-on-ones, two 30-minute video/phone chats, and 1 shoot with my guidance. each mentorship costs $1000 and is an investment in the future of your company. also, you get me as a friend out of it. so I mean. #luckyyou :)

Phone/video chats are for the photographer who isn't necessarily looking for camera help, but wants business and workflow guidance. From the comfort of your office, You can pick my brain on business, client experience, or work through editing/workflow issues over an hour long chat.

Camera 101 is for novices wanting to learn how to use their camera out of auto AND for newer photographers who are learning just that, but need a little help. Mastering how to use your gear is not an easy task but for those more experienced, it feels like second nature. I'll help you along that journey. Camera 101 includes one 30-minute video/photo chat and one 1-hour guidance shoot. 

Ahhh the wedding internship! I mean, I don't want to brag {yes I do} but my former interns have gone on to run incredibly successful businesses of their own and this mama bear couldn't be more proud. This is all about community over competition (something I believe in whole-heartedly). We are currently accepting applications for the fall. Want details?
