Growth doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. I’ve been where you are; trying to find balance between creativity, confidence, and consistency. The truth is, the struggle is real… but you don’t have to walk it alone.
1:1 mentoring is designed to slow things down and dig deep into the true art of newborn photography. Together, we’ll unfold the layers of a session. From preparation and prop setup to lighting, soothing, wrapping, and creating flow with intention. You’ll gain insight into newborn safety, session efficiency, and the quiet confidence that builds trust with your clients (and yourself).
We’ll spend the day and work with two newborns; one observed, and one hands-on. Giving you space to learn, practice, and grow in real time. You’ll see how small adjustments can lead to creative ah-ha moments. After shooting, we’ll sit down together and edit a few images from the day. This is where everything comes full circle; creating a clean, consistent look that still feels like you.
We’ll also dive into the business side of things. Talking through pricing, budgeting, and building a foundation that supports both you and your goals. You’ll leave with practical steps and strategies that make the path forward feel not just possible, but exciting.
My goal is for you to leave feeling calm, confident, and ready to create freely, not from a place of pressure, but from passion.
You’ve taken the workshops, soaked in the knowledge—now what? That’s where In-Studio Mentoring comes in.
I come to you; your studio, your workspace, even your client’s home and help you bridge the gap between what you’ve learned and how to apply it in real life. Whether you’re working in a full studio setup or a cozy corner (where I started 15 years ago), I’ll be right there, offering hands-on guidance to build your confidence and refine your craft.
What we’ll cover:
The goal is to help you confidently run your sessions, make your space work for you, and create a smooth, efficient process that reflects your unique style.
