Adventure Weddings & Elopement Photography Mentor Sessions

The first step to grow is to invest in yourself

Thank you so much for being here and for your interest in setting up a mentor session! Photography is such a great & fulfilling field - It is exciting, inspiring, and has way too many layers. Over the past 5 years, I’ve been able to photograph more than 40 weddings a year & travel the world doing so, all while still being able to enjoy life and balance everything in between. Before becoming a full-time photographer, I felt lost. I wasn’t sure how to take that β€œscary” step and I wished I had a quick & easy answer. Truth is, there is no simple answer or shortcuts, but there are ways to make it work & that’s by investing in yourself and your business to reach your goals.

Why Mentor with me? 

First of all, I love growth. I want to be the person that I wish I had when I started out.

Someone who can answer questions without hours of digging. Whether you’re just starting out, established but feeling like you’re in a creative rut, or just losing steam in your own work, I want to help. My mentor sessions have an ongoing approach to always be able to guide you in the direction you want to go in. We’ll get into the deeper aspects of photography, help you find your own voice in a saturated market, see things beyond the obvious, and most importantly, find a true purpose in your own work.

Mentor Sessions

All mentor sessions are based on the spirit of β€œcommunity-over-competition.” They are fully transparent, no BS, everything-on-the-table, ask me anything kind of sessions.
