Mentoring for Photographers
Helping photographers build profitable, heart-centered businesses that feel aligned with their lifeānot in competition with it.
Because your business should support the life you love, not pull you away from it.

for photographers
When I started my photography business, I wanted more than pretty picturesāI wanted to give families a luxury experience that felt intentional, effortless, and full of heart.
But I didnāt have endless hours to figure it out. Between working as a Nurse Anesthetist, raising a family, and learning photography, I had to be intentional with my time. Over many late nights and a lot of education, I built a high-touch client experience without sacrificing balance at home. I realized you can do it allāwithout doing it all yourself.
Now I mentor photographers because I know what itās like to wear all the hats. I believe itās possible to grow a profitable, sustainable business while still showing up for the people who matter most.
For me, joy comes from in-home sessionsāwhere the heart of family life unfolds. Thatās where Iām most inspired, using natural light to capture authentic connection. Choosing work that lights you up is one of the small but powerful shifts I love helping photographers make.
Through mentoring, Iāll share the strategies, systems, and heart behind my business so you can skip the overwhelm and step into one that feels aligned, balanced, and fulfilling.
