ABOUT ME
Fun fact: When I was college, I was actually Planning on earning a degree in education.
Then, on a whim (and against the wishes of my guidance counselor) I took a class in photography and never looked back! I began photographing everything I could get my hands on whether it was my friends’ senior portraits, a recently engaged couple in my family, or a friend of a friend of a friend’s baby shower. I took every job I could for the photography and client experience alike, and received a crash course in all things portrait photography that first year of business.
Since then, I’ve built an independent business with an amazing array of clients, trained several photographers and even given a seminar as a guest speaker at a studio, . I never imagined starting this business at 19 would lead to the connections and projects that dddd, but I’m so grateful for
BEGINNER COACHING
BEGINNER Photography Coaching
So, you’ve acquired a camera, but you’re not sure what on earth you’re supposed to do with it. Maybe you’ve learned some of the basics of “how” to take pictures, but now you’re not sure where to go from here. Do you have photos you’ve taken that you’re proud of but feel like you’re totally lost in Lightroom? These are normal thoughts you may run into as a beginning photographer, and I certainly experienced a lot of the same feelings.
As a coach, I’d love to help you expedite solutions to these questions and decisions! Sometimes the basics can be overwhelming in the beginning and prevent us from fully diving in.

SPECIALIZED COACHING
Senior Photography Coaching
High school seniors are one of the most fun and rewarding clients I photograph. Their individual talents and stories just shine through on the camera and I love every second I spend with them. My business began by photographing my friends who were graduating seniors, and since then I’ve had the ability to work with so many wonderful students that have pushed me as a creative and an artist.
That doesn’t mean they don’t come with challenges! Seniors are young individuals each with their own idea of how they’d like the session to look. Mom or Dad might also have a perspective of what they want, and you as the photographer might have your own thoughts on what direction you think the shoot should go in. Sometimes seniors are shy and nervous in front of the camera, and sometimes they have big personalities and want to take control of the shoot. I’d love to teach you how to bring out the best in both!

Wedding Photography Coaching
So, you’re shooting your first wedding! Or you’re interested in the wedding industry and _. Weddings are an amazing privilege to photograph, but approaching them for the first time (or even the second or the third) can be insanely intimidating. I remember sitting in the car before all of my first weddings with my heart pounding, hands shaking, and an internal list of everything that could go wrong running through my mind on a loop. I recall thinking that my wedding photography career was already over after getting my first ever migraine after the ceremony of the first wedding I ever photographed.
Now I’ve photographed over _ weddings and walk in confident to capture my clients’ big day. I’ve structured a system before, during, and after the wedding that allows me to get to know my wonderful couples, have the wedding day completely mapped out, and deliver online galleries as well as products for my clients to easily hold onto their photos forever.
Now, I feel ready to help YOU as well. A wedding day is immensely special, and as a beginning wedding photographer I know you want to go into it as prepared as possible. During a coaching session with me, we’ll _, and address your specific questions about the wedding day as a photographer.

Boudoir Photography Coaching
Boudoir was never something I thought I would approach as a photographer, but immediately after the first session I knew I was in love. What could be an awkward, nervous environment was incredibly fun for me while also empowering for the ladies I worked with. My clients were excited about their portraits whether they were doing it for their significant others or themselves, and this created such a good collaborative energy each time I planned the boudoir session process.
