WHY WORK WITH ME
When I opened my business in San Francisco I gave myself 1 year to make it profitable or I was going to quit. Not only did I hit my income goal the first year but I more than doubled it the following year. Balancing being both a successful artist as well as a successful business owner can be challenging but feels so fulfilling when you get it right. I enjoy talking about both aspects and would be thrilled to mentor you and help you grow your photography business, improve your art and expand your mind as to what’s possible.
my Areas of expertise
If you’re struggling in any of these areas, or are just curious about how I do things, I would love share the lessons I’ve learned along the path of building my business and help you with yours. I have experience with maternity, newborn, families, couples and weddings. I’ve shot with film and digital and built a successful business in San Francisco even while I was living in Nevada.
01
film
I started working with film shortly after starting my business and I think it’s an incredible tool for an artist. If you’re curious about where to start and want to learn more about film I’m happy to share all my secrets – what I shoot with, when and where I shoot and how I get my dreamy tones.
02
San Francisco
Shooting in San Francisco can be overwhelming whether you want to get into city hall weddings or photograph family session at iconic spots. I’m happy to share all about the market in San Francisco and the ins and outs of the best locations.
03
Profits
Building a profitable business should be your number one goal. If you are spending a lot of time on your business but you aren’t bringing home real profits, I can help you find areas that you can improve to help you get there.
04
imagery
If you don’t feel like your images are where you want them to be, there are lots of areas that we can look into starting with what you’re shooting with, when you’re shooting, how you interact with your clients both before and during your session and what your editing process looks like. There are so many little tweaks that can help you get to where you want to be and create a gallery that you’re really proud of.
05
Clients
Whether you’re struggling with booking enough clients or booking the kinds of clients you want to be booking, I can help you with some tips to get you booking your ideal clients more consistently.
Photography Mentoring Session
Includes: 1 hour phone call with personalized advice, support and guidance designed to help expand your business and improve your art. You’ll have full access to my business knowledge and experience and no topic is off limits.

This is for you if…
You’ve purchased online education and didn’t get as much out of it as you hoped for because it wasn’t tailored to you. You want to be able to bounce ideas off of someone and ask specific questions.
You’re curious about film and it’s something you want to add to your packages but you don’t know where to start with pricing, scanning and adding it to your workflow. Or you already shoot it but aren’t getting the results you want and want feedback so you can improve.
You’ve been running your business for awhile but you aren’t making a profit or at least enough to justify the time spent emailing with clients, traveling to and shooting sessions and all the editing so you want to find ways to make your business more profitable.
You just started your business and you have no idea what you’re doing. You want to talk to someone who has been there and can help you build a map for yourself.
You’re feeling uninspired by your images and want to get better at creating art. You need someone more experienced to look at your photos and give you ideas of what you can do to improve your images and portfolio.
You want to shoot in San Francisco but have some questions about specific locations (like Baker Beach or City Hall) and how you can get beautiful images in these iconic but busy and sometimes stressful locations.
