A Successful Launch

Launching the Mastermind program was quite an adventure. Despite a few growing pains, we sold out the first round of the program with five amazing female photographers. Round two will begin this upcoming fall and runs from November 1st through February 13th, with breaks for the holidays. We already have 2 of the 5 spots filled!!! (So that means seats are limited.)

Program Highlights:

• Weekly group calls
• Monthly one-on-one coaching calls
• Unlimited personalized coaching via Slack
• All-inclusive mastermind retreat in the middle of the program

The Charleston Retreat

One of the highlights was our mastermind retreat in Charleston, SC. It was an incredible opportunity for everyone to relax, refocus, and recharge.

Retreat Highlights:

• Tuesday: Check-in at 6 PM, salmon dinner, beach walk, late-night chats
• Wednesday: Biscuit bar breakfast, headshots, surprise styled shoot, downtown Charleston photo session, sailboat ride in Charleston Harbor, ice cream sundaes
• Thursday: Breakfast bar, check-out at 11 AM

The Mastermind Program: Focus and Goals

The Mastermind program is for photographers ready to elevate their business. It offers intensive coaching over three months, focusing on achieving big goals and making significant progress.

Program Includes:

• Weekly group calls
• Monthly one-on-one calls

• Retreat

Success Stories and Testimonials

Participants gave overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Testimonials:

• “I’ve never heard anyone talk about it like that before.”
• “This mastermind is exactly what I needed to kick my butt into gear.”
• “The one-on-one coaching calls were the real gold.”

I’m excited for the next round of the Mastermind. We’ll launch officially in August or September. If you’re interested, DM me on Instagram (@_nicholelauren) or email me at hello@nicholelaurenphotography.com for first access to more information.
