Whether you are an experienced photographer or hobbyist, a mentoring session will help you grow creatively and technically. The direction of the session will be determined by what you would like to learn. Nothing is off limits when I mentor you. We can discuss anything you need help with during this time and you can ask me anything you want to know! Below is some of the content I have covered during these sessions.

•Using your Digital SLR - what all those buttons do

•Understanding light & how to manage difficult lighting conditions

•Understanding composition and how to use this to improve your images

• Editing & editing workflows

• Creating your workflow for your sales process

• Using systems to be more productive

• Creating your workflow for your sales process

• Creating profitable products and packages

• Choosing the best aps, programmes, subscriptions to support your business

• And much much more!


2 Hour Mentoring Session $450+ GST, Three Hour mentoring session $600+ GST

My two or three-hour mentoring session is perfect for you if you have a specific area/s of your photography or in your business that you want to work on. Often these sessions are used for coaching on editing or just chatting over a bunch of questions you might have around business, social media etc.



2 hour Live Shoot $650+ GST

During this time we will begin by going over how I plan my sessions: prep, location, posing, and light and together we will plan a photo shoot according to what you would like to add to your portfolio and/or the type of session you feel you need the most help with. During the shoot as I pose and direct, I will talk you through my thought processes. We will finish our time together with a discussion. You may spend this time asking anything you like, viewing and editing the images we just photographed or a portfolio review. This live shoot can be added on to any mentoring session package as well as purchased individually.

Full Day Mentoring Session $1300 + GST

This full day mentoring session is 7 hours long and includes a live shoot. This is by far my most popular and enjoyable option that I offer. I love getting to know all about your business and being able to identify and help you through several different areas. We will identify the areas you need to focus on and together come up with a plan of action! This is also a great opportunity for you to create content for your portfolio!
