Mentor Sessions
HEY THERE!
Oh man, when I started my photography business 10 years ago I was so eager to learn everything I could about creating amazing experiences for clients, building a smooth workflow for myself, and taking the best photos! Now I’m SO eager to share all that with up and coming photographers and friends!
We’ll be able to work on your business, talk about specific pain points, or even get back to the basics of things like using your camera settings and taking great photos to start!
My reason for wanting to mentor? You. You, my friend, are my why. I know what its like to be unsure of yourself (hey, still happens to me alllll the time), someone who needs a hug, a confidence boost and some words of encouragement.If you are feeling stuck, need constructive criticism and guidance on where to take it from here, I can and WILL be that person for you. Education is a passion of mine, as well as photography (obvi) so I am just ecstatic to put them together and pour myself into others.
I am an open book and have created my mentorship program to support you and give you whatever you need help in. I want to create a safe space for you to be you, find your voice, and spark a creative joy in your life.
I am honored and humbled to be given an opportunity to dive into your journey as an artist. Let’s do this! I want to make sure you are being served in the way you need it. Do you need help with editing? I gotchu! Do you need help with posing/prompting? Session flow? I am there for you boo. Whether it’s in person or on Zoom I will put it out all on the line.
you were never meant to do this on your own.

HOW IT WORKS
After booking I’ll send over a little questionnaire to help me get to know you, your business, and what you’re most excited to learn. That way when we hop on our call or sit down to chat, we can get straight to the point and maximize our time together. I’ll have some topics ready for us to talk about, but I always encourage my mentees to come in with a list of questions they want answers on. I’ll lead part of the call, giving some tips and education based on your questionnaire and what I’ve learned about you, and then make sure to give you plenty of time to ask questions. We’ll try to stay on topic to keep this time packed full of helpful info and send you away with some actionable steps you can take to improve your business or photography.
01
topics we can talk about
While I’m a complete open book, here are a few things that we can talk about or include during our time based on what you need:
-Photography Tips (using manual settings, talking about composition and framing, using light, etc!)
-Website and/or Portfolio Critiques
-Tips for Providing an Amazing Client Experience (from initial inquiry to working with clients on your session to delivering the photos)
-Steps to Starting Your Business
-Posing & Directing Advice and Ideas
-Social Media & Marketing Tips
-Talk about Programs that Make Running a Business Easier
-Pricing & Presenting Pricing
-Backing Up Photos
-Post-processing (from culling to editing to sending out your beautiful images)
- Templates & Workflow
And anything else you want to know!
02
making the most of your time together
I’ll do my best to keep us on topic, but if you come prepared with questions, spend time thoughtfully answering the questions on the questionnaire, and are open to me about your goals for our mentos session, we can get through a lot of information without revisiting too much you’ve already learned!
