Welcome to the blog

Welcome to the blog

At the start of 2024, I had every intention of sharing my expertise through courses. I mapped out full courses, following in the footsteps of many before me. I had the outlines, the ideas, the goals. But a few weeks later, I found myself at the Creative Educator Conference, and everything changed. I knew photography business coaching was where my heart truly was.

I left that weekend realizing: I don’t want to just teach from a distance. My desire is to walk alongside you. I want to be in your business with you, not just at a distance.

That’s where the Photography Business Mastermind was born.

My Heart Behind This Program

The Photography Business Mastermind isn’t about a one-fits-all solution, or an educator who talsk at you then leaves. It’s about customized support and strategy to reach your version of success. It’s about showing up for yourself—and being seen and cheered on every step of the way.

I wanted to create something that felt like business therapy: high-touch, real-time, personalized support with someone in your corner who genuinely gets it.

This program exists because I know how lonely business can feel. You’re holding the vision, the strategy, the creative spark, the systems, the marketing, the pressure, and sometimes it feels like no one really sees how much you’re carrying. I built this mastermind to be the space where you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Who This Program is Perfect For

If you’re a photography business owner with an established, profitable business who’s been in the game 3+ years but feels like you’re hitting a ceiling, this is for you.

You might be a great fit if:

  • You’re getting inquiries but not converting the way you want.
  • You feel stuck between pricing tiers or rebranding decisions.
  • You want to work less but make more (and actually believe that’s possible).
  • You’re tired of DIY-ing everything and ready for personalized strategy.
  • You want to finally align your brand, your client experience, and your offers.

This is not a beginner program. This is for the woman who knows she has something powerful to offer—and just needs the structure, feedback, and accountability to level up with clarity. We focus a great deal on marketing strategy and the backend business that builds true success.

What’s Included in Your Investment

Here’s what you get inside the 3-month (12-week) mastermind experience:

  • Weekly group coaching calls: Strategy, hot seats, and actionable guidance every other week. You’ll get eyes on your business in real time. Plus, I’ll share recorded lessons based on what you want to learn from me. We may even hear from guest experts as a bonus!
  • Monthly 1-1 coaching calls: So I can understand your goals and make your plan super personal, we meet 3 times over the course of the program. My girls say this is “where the real gold is.”
  • Unlimited personalized Voxer coaching: Because business doesn’t just happen one day a week. Ask questions, celebrate wins, or get quick support in-between calls. You get 24/7 access to me, and I respond during business hours. Group and individual support available.
  • In-person retreat in Charleston: Meals and lodging included in your 2 night, 3 day getaway with your new besties. (More below!)

What You Can Expect at the Charleston Retreat

Our retreat is more than a pretty location (although let’s be honest—Charleston delivers on the charm).

It’s a space to step out of the day-to-day noise and dream big again. Think:

  • Curated headshots to refresh your online presence in gorgeous Charleston, SC
  • Mastermind-style roundtables where your business gets full attention
  • Deep conversations over dinner and late night chats that turn into lifelong business friends
  • Free time for strategy, journaling, and fun activity

We’ll laugh, brainstorm, snack, and most importantly, get clarity on your next chapter. The in-person piece is always a turning point for my mastermind alumni.

“But what if…” Let’s Talk Through the Objections

“I don’t think I have time for this right now.”
That’s exactly why you need it. If you’re always in reaction mode, this will help you zoom out, rework your systems, and get your time back.

“I’ve done programs before and didn’t get much out of them.”
Totally fair. That’s why this one isn’t cookie-cutter. I don’t teach a formula—I meet you where you are. Every person gets personalized strategy and feedback. This isn’t a big group where you’ll get lost.

“I’m not sure I can afford it.”
I offer flexible payment plans to make this more manageable (you can join for as little as $150). But more importantly, this is an investment in building a business that works for you—financially, emotionally, and energetically.

Next Steps? Here’s How to Get Started

If your heart is saying a big YES, let’s explore what this could look like for you.

Step 1: Schedule a free 1-1 coaching call with me
Step 2: After scheduling, you’ll be directed to complete the mastermind application
Step 3: If it’s the right fit, we’ll finalize your registration and choose the perfect payment plan

There are only 2 of 5 seats remain, so don’t wait to reach out. If you’re feeling the pull, I truly believe there’s a reason. Launch week $600 off expires Friday, May 16, 2025.

You don’t have to do this alone.
Let’s build the best version of your business yet—together. 💛
