Photography found me back in 2014 after my son was born. The desire to capture these fleeting moments was strong with this young one. After years of honing my skill in both natural light and studio, I have the desire to teach upcoming photographers da way... All joking aside, I believe photography is what you make it. I know it took me years to figure out my style and I'm still tweaking to this day. Trends come and go but what will stay with you during your career is your ability to use your fundamentals to create magnificent art for yourself and your clients.
lets get down to the good stuff...
It all comes down to what type of photographer you would like to be?
You can be a jack of all trades, but I find it important in this industry to focus on one niche until you master it. Take advantage of all the available information wells on the internet. Invest in online or 1:1 in-person mentorships. Investing in your education should be number 1 on your list. You know that little manual that comes with your camera when you buy it? Read it... yes, read it from top to bottom. That's where your journey begins...

Mentorship Questions
Where will the Mentorships take place?
All mentorships take place at my in-home studio where the atmosphere is controlled for smooth instruction.
When I complete my program can I email/message you if I have further questions?
Absolutely! All my Mentees are free to email/call/message me if they get into a rut or have further questions. I am here to see you succeed with your developing skills.
I really just want to shoot and ask questions, which mentorship would be best?
If you're still not confident in your skills and would just like to observe, ask and shoot then a shadow-ship would be best. Although the best experience is always hands-on
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely. Payment plans are always available. Once final payment is met then we can schedule your mentorship session
What are the requirements?
Basic camera knowledge is required. A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking your mentoring date with the remainder due 2 weeks before with your signed agreement or payment plan schedule.
Are you ready to take the first step?
In-person mentorships don't end when you leave my studio! Feel free to keep in touch whenever you have a question or need clarification. I want to see you succeed with what you learned.
