A lot of photographers excel at the actual photography... but the business side of things? That's where they get stuck. You were made to be an artist, not a business owner that wears all the hats (marketer, brand expert, website designer, client experience provider, financial planner, accountant, operations manager, the list goes on)... Am I right? And here's the absolute truth: You can build a business that is always growing and reaching new goals (maybe even ones you didn't know you had) without losing your love for the art.
Saturated markets don't exist when you know what makes you stand out. You can attract clients who are sold on you before they even speak with you. You can avoid burning out when you have a long term vision for your business. You can build and scale your business in a way that's aligned to you and your goals.
This is about building and taking intentional action steps day-in and day-out to get where you want to be with the right support.
I never want you to lose yourself again in the grind of chasing the next inquiry or booking "just one more" because you need the income. Your business thriving on autopilot matters just as much to me as if it were my own. So what do you say? Let's build and scale your business in an aligned way.
strategic, straightforward, care-filled, + joyous
I'm Claire - your photography mentor, educator, and resource-giver. After building a successful wedding photography business of my own within 3 months, quitting my pediatric nursing career, and maximizing that growth for over 3 years, I have a passion for sharing my foundational knowledge with you. You'll learn very quickly that I consider you a dear friend and conceal nothing - what's mine is yours. It's my hope that you'll walk away from our time together more confident, filled with joy and excitement, and a whole lotta strategy that brings in the $$$.

times i've cried when mentorship is over
Mentorship is not about hand holding. It's about empowering you to grow in your confidence, joy, skillset, uniqueness, and knowledge. You will not receive a "do what I did roadmap" in any of my offerings. You will receive foundational strategies that will serve your business for years to come.
empowerment
I ask of you to share your biggest struggles, questions, and vulnerable stories so I that I can best serve you. In doing so, you will build and scale your business in a way that's authentic to you. Nobody can be you and that's your superpower. I'm committed to helping you grow in that confidence + speaking about your offers authentically.
authenticity
You deserve honesty, constructive feedback, and audits specific to your business - not vague advice. I lead my mentorship offers with integrity in every way.
integrity
I care deeply about connecting with you and knowing who you are. We will be friends for life, just so you know. I'm committed to knowing your story, your personality, your learning style, and more. I want you to walk away from our time together feeling seen and known.
connection
You are not a number. You are deeply cared about and your success is why I'm a mentor. So that I am able to give a lavish experience, my mentorship offers are not a one-and-done kind of thing to me. They are an experience and they are intentional. Spots are limited each quarter for this very reason. I don't take your investments lightly.
