I also offer continued support after our mentorship, because growth doesn’t end the moment we pack up our cameras. You’ll have access to me through text and email for questions, feedback, troubleshooting, or reassurance as you put everything we covered into practice. Whether you’re stuck on an edit, unsure how to handle a client situation, or need a quick second opinion, I’ll be right there to support you as you build confidence and momentum.

Mentoring Photographers in Austin
Whether you’re just picking up a camera or you’re a few years in and ready to refine your voice, I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you this spring. I’m opening one or two mentorship spots for photographers who want truly hands-on guidance. Everything from shooting and editing to shaping a business that feels aligned, sustainable, and uniquely yours.
This mentorship is designed to feel calm, supportive, and deeply practical. We’ll take our time, move at your pace, and break things down in a way that feels clear and doable. Together, we’ll tailor the entire experience to exactly what you need, focusing on the areas where you want to grow most, whether that’s creative confidence, technical skills, or the business side of things.
What's Included
This is an 8-hour, customized deep dive, split into two days:
Day 1 (6 hours) — Learning + Photoshoot
We’ll start with 5 hours covering the topics you choose. Some ideas:
Posing for real people (my candid/prompt-heavy approach)
Editing workflows & color grading
Composition & storytelling
Camera settings + shooting with intention
Natural lighting (midday, golden hour, and low light)
Working with families, maternity, or newborns
Client experience & communication, from inquiry to prepping for the session to final delivery
Marketing and how to attract your ideal clients
Website + portfolio review
SEO fundamentals
Content strategy for Instagram
Styling guidance for clients
Location planning in Austin
Using ChatGPT in your photography business (emails, blogs, captions, automation, etc.)
Anything else you want! I’ll tailor the entire experience to you.
Then we’ll photograph a real family together. I’ll walk you through:
How I guide, pose, and prompt
How I create connection and movement
Camera settings + how I approach challenging light
How I think through composition in real time
You’ll get to shoot alongside me and ask questions the whole time.
Day 2 (2 hours) — Editing + Workflow
The next day, we’ll sit down and edit the images from our session:
How I cull and manage files and storage
My full Lightroom and Photoshop workflow
Color harmony, skin tones, and consistency
How to create galleries you feel proud of
Export settings & delivery
You’ll walk away with a clear, repeatable workflow, plus edits you can use on your website and social media.
