Why you need a mentor for your photography busines

Why you need a mentor for your photography business…📷

Education is such an essential part of longevity in a creative field like photography. From the programs and technology we use to the platforms where we market our services, the worlds we operate in are always changing. Committing to being a consistent student of these worlds is one of the biggest investments you can make in your success.

You might need a mentor for your photography business if you are:

▪️ in a creative rut in your photography
▪️struggling with inefficiencies in the back end of your business
▪️not attracting the right type of clients
▪️not booking enough photoshoots
▪️doing all of the right things but not seeing the results you want at the end of the day
▪️working a ton, but not bringing in the profit to match the amount of work you’re putting in

When you hire a mentor, they will start by looking at your business as it stands right now. Then they will help you find areas where you can improve. If you know the areas that you want to work on, mention them to your mentor. This is why hiring a mentor is better than going to a workshop. Large portions of a workshop might not apply to you, but with mentoring, every minute applies to your business’s needs.

Once you and your mentor outline your goals, they will hold you accountable in taking actionable steps to achieve them. I have been in business for over a decade, and I am still always looking to learn from people who inspire me. I never want to get to a point where I think that I know it all. The truth is, we all have room to improve, and it’s important to acknowledge that.

👇🏻How Can a Mentor Help You?👇🏻

A mentor can help you with any aspect of your photography business you want to improve. If you are feeling uninspired from an artistic standpoint, they can work with you on your photography techniques such as lighting, posing, location selection, composure, and editing techniques.

I urge you not to do this alone; build yourself a support system and you will FEEL supported as you are taking actionable steps towards your dreams. Head to the link in my bio to set up a virtual coffee chat with me. ☕

😍 What I lack as an extrovert, I make up ten-fold as an introvert!

Introverts are my people.

I see you. I feel you. I am you.

I’m an a mentor who is deeply invested in her clients’ successes. I love sharing with my clients’ that they can show up online, in their businesses, and in the loud rooms of the world as an introvert.

The world may seem to favor extroverts, especially in the online space, but when you arrive on the social pages of an introvert...you can physically feel the deep peace, the calm, and the strength of the introvert.

I’d love to shine a light on the strengths that make YOU as the introvert so special!

✨ We listen ✨

We listen well, we pause and absorb what everyone around us is saying. We listen to questions, pay attention to actions, and connect with others with this quiet strength. We slow down and we can interpret the words, actions, and vibes around us.

✨We think deeply✨

We can dive straight down into the deep depths of our thoughts and match them with action. We tend to think about things for a long time before we put them into action and that allows us to build the confidence we need to show up with our message.

✨We are empathetic✨

It’s a natural strength we have and we excel at showing empathy. This gives us such a unique and intentional opportunity to connect with people and the public, on and offline. We build opportunities to connect through displaying our empathy and connecting with those that resonate with it.

I encourage you today, my dear introverted friend, to see your strengths as an introvert today. Recognize those strengths, scribble them down, and keep them near your desk to reflect on daily.

And if you’re unsure of how to truly do this and feel good while doing it, I would love to invite you to jump on a complimentary discover call with me to discuss my *NEW* program, Amplify & Align. It’s a 1:1 mentorship container designed to teach the creative entrepreneur to build a business around their natural uniqueness, while simultaneously making profits from their passion.

Head to the link in my bio to book your call. It's going to change lives, hearts and the way we do business!!! 🖤

Hands up --- Who here loves a story that they can

Hands up --- Who here loves a story that they can predict the ending to?

*crickets*

Ya, that’s what I thought.

And yet so many of us choose a life of comfort instead of taking bold brave moves.

…

When I started my journey as a photographer and creative entrepreneur back in 2009 I had no idea of knowing what would come from giving up a secure job, benefits, sick pay and a great pension plan.

I had no evidence that it would even work. All I had was heart, passion and a why too big to be ignored.

Being a creative entrepreneur has truly changed my life.

It brings meaning to my days, has allowed me to be present in raising my one and only child, it has afforded me opportunities to travel, and it has welcomed in such beautiful souls that I would have otherwise never met.

Due to this sentiment, I passionately mentor other creatives and guide them on a path of alignment, success and self-defined freedom.

🖤

I didn’t always have this business or this much grounding happiness. In fact, my life looked completely different back in 2009. Before I boldly took a stand to redefine my life, on my own terms.

If you were to turn the clock back and have a peek into my life back then you would have seen a young woman so exhausted, depressed and barely hanging on.
At the time, I was repeatedly clocking into an endless rhythm of working two full time jobs that didn’t fulfill me in the least.

👉🏻 One afternoon I collapsed at my kitchen table, and with my head hung low I sobbed at my reality. I wasn’t happy and for the first time, I admitted it out loud.

🖤 *Swipe through the photos above for the rest of this messy and beautiful story* 🖤

I am so happy you landed here and that you have taken the time to read my story. I look forward to serving your heart in such big ways.

Are you ready to admit what you REALLY want out loud?

I’m intrigued to hear your story and see how I can serve you to experience the life that you’re desiring. Head to the link in my bio to set up a virtual coffee chat with me ~ I can’t wait to see you!

🖤 My birthday candle wish … This year I want

🖤 My birthday candle wish …

This year I want to save this one for the dreamers. For the one who is looking around at their life lately, yearning for a life of creative expression yet thinking, ‘I’m not enough’.

Wanting more depth from their days yet fighting the current of bringing it to actualization.

The ones who despite their thirst, just don’t have the support they deserve.

This one is for you.

🌟 May the divine swirl around you, lift you up and shake you awake to your power. May the armour you have been searching for find its way to you now. And may you begin to open yourself up to the very intense truth that you deserve all that is calling you to the battlefield of life. You my dear one, were born a miracle and you deserve miraculous things. 🌟

We can not keep living the same year over and over and call it life.
We must declare more.

And if you feel as though you can’t muster up the courage to ask for it yourself, allow me to be your voice, the one who puts her feet on the hot coals first, the mentor who reaches back signalling that it’s ok, you got this.

I am committed to leading in a way that forever reminds us all that we are not our circumstances – WE ARE ALL OUR POSSIBILITIES!!!
