MENTORING
Launching and running my photography business over the last ten years has been an AMAZING adventure and now I am looking forward to sharing my tips, tricks, advice and experience with you to help you improve your photography business.
Mentoring is ideal for new photography businesses or those who are stuck in a rut, you are maybe feeling a little overwhelmed and need a fresh pair of eyes to look at your business from a different perspective.
In the past, I have hugely benefitted from mentoring as it was tailored to my exact needs and we were able to delve deep into specific issues/queries I had rather than only touching base on a huge number of topics.
To help ensure you will get the most out of your session, you will receive a questionnaire to fill out prior to your mentoring which allows us to identify the specific areas you would like to work on and to establish where you feel you are in your journey.
So why should you pick me?! Since starting my photography business 10 years ago, I have:
- developed a successful profitable photography business
- photographed hundreds of weddings all over Scotland and further afield, ranging in size from just the couple up to 300 all day guests
- built a following of over 10,000 on social media
- been fully booked for weddings every year since 2015
- identified and attracting my ideal clients
- had my work published on wedding blogs and in magazines
- won a selection of photography awards
- trained my sister up from having no interest in photography, to be an award winning professional photographer
- managed to adapt my business to survive Covid19 despite 85% of my 2020 wedding bookings being postponed
- And I've juggled all of the above with becoming a Mum to two young boys (age 5 & 3)... it has been an adventure!
Phone Photography Workshops
