1:1 Photography Mentoring

Mentoring That Matches You

1:1 mentoring sessions are personalized to the needs of each individual student. No two sessions are alike. Mentor experiences are tailored to where you are in your own photography journey - whether that is finding your stylistic voice, honing technical skills, breaking out of creative ruts, or strengthening your session flow with clients. There are no stupid questions here.

Who is Photography Mentoring Right for?

Mentor sessions are for both professional and experienced hobbyist photographers who want to make images that evoke honest emotion and ignite creativity. It is for the photographer who wants to experience confidence in his/her craft.

Meet Your Photography Mentor

From Classroom to Camera,
I'm trained to teach.

As an educator for more than 20 years and a professional photographer for more than 10, this is where my two worlds (and two passions) collide. Helping students to learn and grow, and think creatively, has literally been my life’s work. And, helping fellow photographers to see and think in a new way that sets them up for more success, it’s…well, it’s just magic.

Photography Mentoring Packages

Discover the perfect mentoring package to help you grow as a photographer, whether you're learning the basics or taking your skills to the next level.

Ask Me Anything

(1hr Zoom) → $300

These sessions are meant to offer flexibility and casual familiarity. Grab your favorite beverage and let’s settle in to chat about whatever you most want to focus on. Whether photography or business-related, the choice is truly yours! Of course, if I had my druthers, I’d talk creativity all day, every day!

Shadow Me Sessions

(3 hrs in-person) → $950

While technically geared more towards the professional photographer, this can be helpful even if you are a hobbyist photographing your own family. Shadow me from prep to post the day of a shoot. We’ll meet at a beautiful, scouted location with a model family and you will have the chance to shoot right alongside me. Learn the why’s and how’s of my session flow, to bring out the best in your subjects…capturing those most special in-between moments.

Support Sessions

(series of three 1hr zoom sessions) → $825

Sometimes, one just isn’t enough and we have more questions as time goes on. So, if you would like to continue your learning over the course of a year (or whatever period you choose to use the three sessions), this is for you. Let’s build that relationship and grow together!
