I'm so grateful that you're here. There is nothing worse than an obviously "faked" image. Ugh. And as business owners, we are not always in a position to have an endless array of studio samples on hand in every color or selection available.
From digital mockup downloads to 1:1 mentoring sessions, I want to see you succeed! These are the tools that I needed when. I first started and I'd love to share them with you.—

Welcome
Everyone always says "show what you want to sell". But what if you don't have it and the budget isn't there for a stack of luxury albums & products?
I've been in the place you are now where I had little to no real life samples of my offerings and wished I could showcase them better! One of my favorite things to do is create mockups of albums and rooms to bring your offerings to life! Digital files begin at $15 and you'll find many exciting new offerings in the months to come!

From welcome booklet templates to Showit pages for your offerings, What you need to take your business to the next level might just be here. If you see something you want but can't find, don't hesitate to reach out and I'll see if it's something I can add to my offerings.

The mockup Shoppe

I've worked with Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, InDesign, Canva and more. Shortcuts and design elements are at my fingertips and I'd love to share those with you to speed up your workflow and help you succeed with your editing.
If you've been working in photoshop for decades....you probably know more than me. If you don't know where to start, I can help you. If you dabble a little but don't love to open photoshop, I can probably help you.
Photoshop is a powerful tool. Let's help you leverage it for your artwork.

How far away from the window should I be? Why do you not have those shadowy lines on your images? How do I get the background to be true white? Why do my images always look grainy blurry? What camera settings are the best to use in this situation?
If you are asking any of these questions, I might be able to help you. Getting your images right in camera is a game changer. There are SO many details that go into this. Whether you're using natural light or wanting to incorporate artificial light into your workflow to mimic natural light, I can probably help you.
Let's get your images near perfect before you edit.

Help!! I just got a new camera and I don't know what all these menus are? Servo? Zebras? Raw? What do I even choose?? I'd love to shoot in manual but I'm just so confused.
If you are just beginning and don't know how to shoot in manual or you've just gotten a new camera and can't figure out how to set it up, I'd love to help you make sense of it all!
Canon DSLR and Mirrorless bodies are my expertise, but if you have a Nikon or Sony I can probably help guide you in knowing what terms you're looking for.

Sometimes as full service photographers we run into challenging styling situations. My own family is a really good example. I have six daughters. Yes. You read that right. Six. All girls. How on earth do you dress seven women and one man and not make it either look matchy matchy or end up with the one guy sticking out like a sore thumb?
I've had much practice with tricky styling combinations and I'm here to help guide you through the thought process behind why I choose what I choose so you can do it on your own.
Whether it's your own family or a client that's making you scratch your head, I'll give you the tools to succeed on your own.

If I can't help you....I don't want you to hire me. This initial consultation is paramount to ensure that I can actually be a resource for you vs. another wasted investment. If I can't help you, I will point you in the right direction. ♡

As you think of questions that you have coming up to our time together, write them down! There is nothing worse than knowing you need something answered and not remembering what it was!

You are a unique individual with unique needs. I want to get to know your needs. This helps me identify what we spend time discussing so I can truly help you flourish! I'm not going to educate you on things I know nothing about. Pinky promise.

How to prepare for mentoring
A word to you as a bussiness owner
It seems like everywhere we turn we are being sold to. I don't know about you but sometimes I am weary of the loud voices calling to me from every corner telling me I "have to" (fill in the blank) or I won't succeed.
The truth? I'm confident you can do this on your own. A myriad of business owners before us had success without the help of the internet. Without youtube, without video tutorials. But you know what has been a time-tested method of growth? Mentorship. From ancient Roman civilizations to revolutionary trades. Mentorship has been a building block of passing down information and skill to the next generation.
Now, there are so many mentors to choose from and I love that people truly want to help lift others up by sharing their knowledge. But how do you know a mentor is right for you? I've had my fair share of hiring mentors that were NOT a good fit for me. It's miserable. From personality conflicts to false claims, it happens time and time again.
My best advice to you: Go with your gut. Ask others. Get some feedback before diving in. And if you're not sure? I want you to hire someone else. I am not here to convince you of anything. I want you to succeed even if that means seeking help elsewhere. Still not sure? I'm happy to chat with you more.

Yes!!! SO good. I love how these have the light streaming in. It looks so much more natural than a lot of the flatlays out there. Being able to embed the images on PS is always better, too. I’ll definitely be ordering more!
What I learned from you was invaluable. It can sometimes feel like educators purposefully mystify the information they are giving to keep us coming back to spend more. You are not this way at all and I appreciate how much of an open book and wealth of information you are. I feel like I've grown at 10x speed since I hired you!
I just watched your mockup tutorial and I LOVED it.
I love your style and am feeling like a sponge in the past year just learning as much as I can. Thanks so much once again. Looking forward to learning more from you.
