1:1 Zoom Coaching

Whether your focus is sharpening your craft or growing a profitable, sustainable photography business, 1:1 virtual mentoring gives you focused guidance and support every step of the way from anywhere. You can book hourly sessions or package multiple hours for a deeper, ongoing experience. You'll have the chance to ask questions and share your screen.

Before our session, you’ll fill out a brief intake form so I can get a clear picture of your experience, goals, and areas where you’d like the most guidance. From there, we’ll design your session(s) to match your unique needs.

Focus areas include: 

• Portfolio/Website review & critique

• Editing & Retouching

• Business & pricing strategies

• Client experience & CRM

Following your in person instruction, we'll schedule a zoom call where you'll watch me edit a few images from the session.
