mentographer program
Being creative in business is difficult. So, I’m thrilled to finally offer a mentoring program for photographers! Maybe you want that flash out of the box you purchased months ago, or perhaps you aren’t getting the clients you want or making the profit you need.
Whatever hurdles you’re grappling with, rest assured, I’ve been there too. Many of my business struggles as a creative were self-inflicted, born out of a lack of understanding in setting boundaries around projects and managing time effectively. I’ve spent countless hours perfecting my workflow templates, poring over emails, and comparing products I didn’t even need. I’ve also been guilty of overthinking decisions and not implementing changes. But perhaps the most complex battle I’ve faced was grappling with my worth as an artist.
My commitment to photography education is unwavering. I regularly attend workshops and conferences, and I’m an active member of my local Professional Photographers Association chapter, TCPPA. Each year, I make it a point to attend a large convention like ImagingUSA or WPPI, and I also seek out private, smaller workshops, retreats, or coaching to fuel my creativity, refine my craft, and sharpen my business skills. I find immense joy in learning new photography techniques, connecting with fellow photographers, and discovering the unique ways everyone runs their studios. In fact, I’ve made friends across the country through these connections.
I’ve trained with various mentors each year in my 17 years in business. Mentors not only in the craft of photography but also in business, prosperity, money mindset, organization, and sales. I’ve moved from a tiny office in the attic of my home to a retail studio with an entire support team. I choose to make this investment in myself because it helps me overcome procrastination, creativity blocks, and all the worries around running a business.
Since 2015, I’ve hosted monthly small business workshops for creatives, including the St. Paul chapter of the Rising Tide Society. In 2020, I rebranded the studio as a full-service portrait studio for families, newborns, pets, seniors, and business portraits.
Below, you will find education and mentoring opportunities to gain confidence in your craft and master your photography business! I can’t wait to see what you accomplish with a photographer mentor!
"To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge."
