MENTOR SESSIONS
Are you struggling to become the photographer you've dreamt of being?
Are you burnt out from how much time it takes to edit, and still not being fully happy with the way your work looks?
I want to help you bust out of that slump and provide the spark you need to stand out in the photography industry!
Over the past 10 years as a photographer, I've learned through much trial and error, failures and success about what it takes to to strive in this industry. So many of those things that I know now, I wish I knew then!
Throughout those years, I've been featured both locally and nationally, on web and in print, and was just awarded Best Photographer in Lancaster, PA in 2017.
I truly believe that through community is where you will learn the most. I keep no secrets, and if anyone were to ask me a question about how I work, I won't beat around the bush. I will tell you how I make it happen.
I want to offer my knowledge to help others find that extra motivation, or workflow tip that can change the future of your photography business!
ONE - ON - ONE
Okay, let's get down to business.
