Success
I remember when I first started my photography business and how clueless I felt at times about all the different aspects of running a photography business. Where do I start? How do I find clients and how can I make them feel comfortable in front of the camera? How the heck do I run a business? Why do I need marketing? I know it can feel overwhelming to say the least.
Now after being in business for almost a decade, I’ve learned so much and have gained insights and tips that I’m excited to share! I’ve gained confidence and become passionate about helping other photographers to thrive in their business.
My mentoring sessions are perfect for anyone wanting to learn, grow and push your business to the next level – whether you’re just starting out or if you’re in an inspirational funk and need some encouragement and excitement to get back on track. I’d love to help guide you on how to take the steps in becoming the best artist and business person you can be! We’re on the same team – I’m here to see you succeed! These sessions are created to be full of intention, customized to what will benefit you most at your current stage of business. Continually investing in your own growth as a photographer and business person is something I truly believe in.
Online Q&A
This quick session is for you if you only have a few very specific questions and don’t feel the need to go through a whole curriculum.

This can include business, branding, marketing, website review, shooting, posing, client communication, editing, … - you name it! These sessions are completely guided by your questions.

Session Experience
Live sessions are awesome because it allows us to define your photography style and refine your session approach. We’ll go through all aspects of the actual shooting part - starting from gear, over location scouting to how to take care of your clients. I will arrange a customized live session geared towards your favorite genre without the pressure of having a paying client in front of your camera. We’ll go through the whole process from client preparation, how to guide your clients though their session, posing and post processing workflow. Our models always love to get some free images in exchange for coming out to model for us, so it’s a win-win for everyone!

Working with Sarah has been amazing. She had so many valuable and important points to share, I could have listened and asked questions for an entire day. I needed help with marketing strategies and branding and I learned so much! If you get the chance to grab a mentoring spot with her, do it! You won't regret any investment you are making in yourself with her.
