Frequently Asked Questions

The program itself is made up of four training modules organized in bite-sized lessons. You have 6 months to access them via your student portal. All the resources also come in PDF, including bonuses, so you can download and have lifetime access offline. I recommend setting aside about 1h to go through the lessons (in one sitting. or across small study sessions). Then, you will need short practice sessions of 5-15 minutes to complete prompts assignments.

If limited time is a big concern to you, you will love the bonus Effortless Practice Guide, where you learn tips to help busy moms just YOU integrate photography practice into their everyday routine. So you can practice what you learn throughout this mentorship program and refine your skills without feeling overwhelmed.

I’m a busy (and sleep-deprived) mom with two young children. My toddler is at home with me full-time, and my eldest goes to preschool only in the mornings. I also work! Like you, I have very little time and energy. But photography has the power to energize and inspire! If I can make it, so can you! 🙂

I’ve taken MANY photography courses over the years. I designed this program to check all the boxes of the learning experiences I wished I had when I first started learning photography. Like other courses, this program offers lessons presented in PDF and video, and assignments with personalized feedback.

But, UNLIKE other courses, this program:

  • Provides feedback on your images directly from ME (not an assistant) for personalized accountability
  • Offers INDIVIDUAL support through text office hours, and a 30-min 1:1 video call with me. Sharing your images for feedback and asking questions is a vulnerable process. I want you to feel safe when asking for help and receive kind and gentle 1:1 support
  • Teaches moms how to create ONE type of aesthetic (=timeless and natural) versus a generic photography style. So you can confidently create images that resonate with your personal taste and vision
  • Is designed for moms who have at least one young child (up to age 5), so moms can connect with others who are in a similar stage in their lives to share help and tailored tricks and tips that work
  • Provides a preset pack, the same one I use to edit my images. To help you save money and time trying to figure out what editing tools to use. And edit an image in seconds

I designed this program for moms! It is relevant for you if you regularly take photos of your family as well as if you photograph clients for work. If you’re still charging under $1,000 per session and you want to ELEVATE the aesthetic of your work to appeal to high-end clients and increase your prices to $1,000+, then this program is perfect for you!

A personal copy of the workshop materials, including PDFs and image critiques will be available for download so it will be yours to keep indefinitely. You will have access to your student portal for 6 months after purchase.

It depends. During your mentorship, you will learn the step-by-step process of how to make timeless images with any camera. To make beautiful images, it is not about the gear you own, but your use of color, light, and composition. If all you want is to make beautiful images with your phone camera, then you can achieve this transformation without purchasing any additional gear.

However, if you want to pursue photography as a hobby (or to photograph professionally), then you need to invest in a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Because these cameras will allow you to push your photography skills to the next level. If your budget is limited, you can purchase a used entry-level Nikon or Camera. I can help you find the best equipment to fit your budget during our support sessions.
