PHOTOGRAPHY MENTORSHIPS
I designed my mentorships for photographers who want to feel more confident in their editing, more consistent across lighting situations, and more grounded in both the creative and business side of photography.
Whether you’re struggling with skin tones, overwhelmed by editing inconsistencies, or trying to streamline how you run your business behind the scenes—these sessions are built to give you clarity, direction, and a workflow that actually makes sense in real life.
Having a well-rounded understanding how light, color, editing, and your overall workflow work together...that's what creates lasting change.
That is what these mentorships are here to help you build.
This Is For You If:
- Your edits feel inconsistent across different lighting situations
- You struggle with skin tones and white balance
- You want a true-to-color, natural editing style
- You feel confident shooting, but editing feels hit-or-miss
- You’re looking for a simpler, more repeatable workflow
- You want support with the business side of photography (systems, website, client flow, SEO basics)
1:1 Mentorship (Zoom or In-Person)
$250
This mentorship is designed for photographers who want to refine their editing, improve consistency, and feel more confident in their workflow, shooting approach, client experience, and overall business systems.
A fully personalized, interactive mentorship session designed to help you improve your editing, workflow, and overall approach to photography.
This is a hands-on experience where we work directly through your questions, your images, and your goals in real time.
Available via Zoom or in-person (Salt Lake area). In-person sessions allow for more hands-on guidance, including shooting practice and real-time feedback if desired.
What’s included:
- 60–90 minute Zoom call
- Live screen-share editing walkthrough in Lightroom
- Portfolio review (if applicable)
- Open Q&A throughout the session
We can focus on things like:
- True-to-color editing workflow
- Skin tones + white balance troubleshooting
- Shooting decisions that affect editing
- Consistency across different lighting situations
- Client experience + session flow
- Website feedback + user experience
- Basic SEO insight (what I’m currently learning and applying)
- Business organization + financial awareness for photographers
- Setting up simple automated systems (inquiries, communication, workflow)
You’ll leave with:
- A clear, personalized direction for your editing and workflow that you can immediately apply to your own work.
- A visual Canva guide outlining my core workflow, editing approach, and key concepts—designed to help you revisit and apply what you learned after the session
- Optional add-on: My presets are available at a discounted rate for mentorship clients who would like a starting point to build from.
In-Person Shadowing Mentorship + Q&A
$400
A behind-the-scenes experience where you observe a real client session and see exactly how I work in real time. This is not a staged workshop—it is a real session with real clients, allowing you to observe natural decision-making as it happens.
A large part of photography isn’t just knowing settings—it’s understanding why decisions are made in real time. You’ll see how I adjust based on light, direction, movement, and client flow without breaking the rhythm of the session.
What’s included:
- Attend a live photography session with me
- Observe how I work with natural light in real time
- See posing, directing, and client interaction
- Watch how I adjust settings, angles, and direction based on changing light
- Experience a full session from start to finish
Post-session Q&A:
After the session, we’ll go through a structured breakdown so everything you observed actually clicks.
We cover things like:
- Why specific lighting and posing decisions were made
- How and when adjustments were made during the session
- How to recognize and work with different lighting situations
- Workflow, consistency, and client experience insights
If time allows and it aligns with what you’re looking for, we can also touch on business structure, systems, and how everything connects behind the scenes of running a photography business.
Post-session Resources:
To help you continue applying what you observed beyond the session, you’ll receive:
- A visual Canva guide outlining my core workflow, editing approach, and key concepts to help you process and apply what you observed during the session
- My Complete Preset Pack included as a complimentary learning resource to support what you observe and help you apply it in your own workflow.
Optional add-on:
- Follow-up 60-minute Zoom mentorship ($125) for editing deep-dive or additional questions
Seeing the Decisions Behind the Final Image
These examples are here to help you understand how much of a final image is shaped by real-time decisions around light, direction, exposure, and color—not just editing afterward.
Example 1: Harsh Sunlight
Before: RAW file with strong contrast and uneven light across the subject
After: Balanced exposure with natural skin tones and controlled highlights
What this reflects:
How light direction and exposure decisions impact the final image before editing even begins
Example 2: Indoor / Mixed Lighting
Before: Warm mixed lighting creating uneven color tones
After: Neutralized tones with balanced white balance and consistent skin color
What this reflects:
How different light sources influence color and how consistency is created across a session
Example 3: Backlit Session
Before: Underexposed subject with bright background
After: Proper subject exposure while maintaining natural background light
What this reflects:
How positioning and exposure choices shape clarity and depth in challenging light
These examples are meant to show how much of consistent photography comes from understanding light and making intentional decisions in real time.
Both mentorship options are built around this idea in different ways:
- Zoom focuses on breaking down your own work and decisions
- Shadowing lets you observe those decisions happening during a real session
What Makes This Different
- A focus on natural, true-to-color editing
- Real-life lighting situations (not idealized conditions)
- A simplified, repeatable workflow
- Real-time decision-making insight
- A balance of creative, technical, and business education
The Real Shift Most Photographers Experience
Most photographers come in thinking they need better presets or more editing knowledge.
But what they usually leave with is a completely different understanding of how everything connects—how light, shooting decisions, editing, and client experience all influence each other.
That shift is what creates long-term consistency.
Presets (Optional Support Tool)
Presets are completely optional and simply offered as a starting point for those who want them.
- Zoom mentorship clients can add presets at a discounted rate if they’d like a foundation to build from.
- Shadowing mentorship clients receive presets as a complimentary resource to support learning after the session.
The goal of mentorship is always to understand why things work so you can confidently apply and adapt your own style long-term.
