Adventure Weddings & Elopement Photography Mentor Sessions

โ€œThe first step to grow is to invest in yourselfโ€

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, Iโ€™ve photographed more than 40 weddings a year & traveled the world doing so, all while still enjoying life and balancing everything in between. Before becoming a full-time photographer, I felt lost. I wasnโ€™t sure how to take that โ€œscaryโ€ 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 & thatโ€™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 first started out.

Someone who can answer questions without hours of digging. Whether youโ€™re just starting out, feeling creatively stuck, or losing momentum in your 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. Weโ€™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 community over competition. They are fully transparent, no BS, everything-on-the-table, ask-me-anything kind of sessions. From turning something I love into a career to years of experience, speaking at workshops & conferences, working with other photographers, and running a successful business, Iโ€™m excited to pass everything on to you & help your business grow.
