education for wedding professionals
As an educator-turned-photographer, teaching and supporting others is a fundamental part of my being. After a decade in in the classroom, I transitioned to wedding photography. Now, with twelve years in business as a wedding photographer and well over 100 weddings photographed, I have a a plethora of experience to share. And I want to do just that, so you can avoid the mistakes I made as you build a sustainable business that supports a life you love.
Over the years I've helped wedding industry professionals set goals and develop strategic action plans, raise their prices and sell more persuasively, curate an elevated client experience to attract a higher-end clientele, build a portfolio from scratch, and so much more. Whether you’re looking for a few specific answers, want resources to take your business to the next level, or need a mentor to help you set and achieve goals in an ongoing relationship, there is something here that can help you move your business forward. And if you're a photographer - there are some specific resources on all things photography waiting for you, too!

speaker
My goal for every speaking appearance I make and podcast interview I give is to provide tangible tips and implementable strategies that will help wedding pros move the needle in their business. Each talk is crafted with best educational practices in mind to ensure that attendees are engaged throughout and leave inspired. Interactive sessions encourage attendees to participate, think deeply, and challenge their own understandings in order to grow. From regional chapter meetings, to virtual summits and webinars, to taking the stage at a national conference, I love the opportunity to share tips and strategies learned from over a decade in the wedding industry.
