Teaching was never in my road map of business adventures, but after 12 years of shooting weddings and 4 years as a full-time photographer, I have found that every time I made a connection with another creative, I would literally drop EVERYTHING to give them my full attention and help them in any way I can.

Recognizing this behavior pattern helped me realize my passion for educating other photographers and watching them grow and be successful in going full-time. I have invested in education for my own business and every single time it pays off ten fold.

All of the strategies and resources that I have crafted over the past 4 years, I am putting at your fingertips to see the same growth and success in your career path. If you're looking for resources, quality education and want to skip the guessing game and go straight to gaining confidence in your photography business, you are on the right page!

I created this spreadsheet for my business to help me understand where my money is going and what I have leftover to pay myself and the business. If you struggle with ‘not getting a normal paycheck’ like I did, you need to have this. This spreadsheet is what helped pay my family, invest back into the business (like purchasing educational stuff like this, without feeling guilty!!), get organized and be able to break down not only my yearly salary, but how much I’ve made per month. Keeping up with this also prepared me for every photographer’s slow season as well! I am also including organizational spreadsheets for my post-wedding process and keeping track of all my couples engagement session experience!
