Helping artists ascend creatively, professionally and personally.
Dear fellow photographer,
I know that this path is tough, and that many of you are frustrated. You have talent, passion and drive, but you’re still struggling to find clients or get lucrative bookings. Have you ever wondered how and why other photographers, maybe with less talent, are able to make money and build success? And have you wondered why you haven't? Wondered what they did differently? Have you ever dreamed of having clients approach you and being so booked that you can’t fit them in? Or dreamed that photography and creativity could bring you great financial success and security? Have you ever felt like you're running in circles and wondered if you should even continue? Believe me, I feel you... Because I’ve been there. Big time. I know personally the challenges and frustrations that you feel. I felt that way at first. I even wanted to give up. But I didn’t. And through agonizing 18 hour work days of trial and error, with a lot of error at first, and almost psychotic tenacity (failure was NOT an option), I discovered secrets that allowed me to build the career of my dreams, make millions doing it, and even give a TED Talk. It was hard. I want it to be less hard for you. Please read on, because I sincerely believe that what I can teach you, could change your life and your career forever.
The 15% Club
Did you know that 85% of photographers fail? Accorting to Dane Sanders in the book Fast Track Photographer, in the 1st year, 60% of photographers give up their businesses. Of the remaining 40%, another 25% will fail within the 2nd year. The ones that make it are the remaining 15% who endure through the 3rd year. The ones who thrive are even fewer.
But YOU can thrive. You WILL thrive. This coaching will hardwire you with the motivation, confidence, tenacity, knowledge and skills you need to be in the 15% success bracket.
Leveling Up. For All Levels.
This highly intensive coaching is designed for every level photographer from amateur to pro. We only ask that you have a working knowledge of your camera and a keen desire to learn.
It’s geared toward portraits, headshots, and editorial portraiture, but what you will learn applies to photographing people in any context.
“There are many obstacles that will be in your way. That is a given. The great tragedy is when the biggest obstacle is one you’ve built yourself.”
~ Kenneth Dolin
Be an Innovator.
Not an imitator.
Most photography workshops teach students how to copy the coach’s style. Students end up shooting just like the teacher. They become copy-cats. This is a flawed approach. Because you can’t gain success through imitation. You gain it through innovation. My coaching is designed to help you discover and refine your own artistic style and find your own self-promotional voice and brand.
No Stone Left Uncovered.
This training is unique in that it covers all areas of building a successful portrait and headshot photography career. It’s not just about lighting and camera settings. Nor is it just about business. It’s about diving deeply into technical prowess, business and marketing, directing talent, liberating creativity, and when needed, making mindset resets to build confidence and belief. It’s an approach to photography training based on what I’ve learned in 20 years as an industry leader in headshots My goal is not to boast about how I got there, it’s to help you can get there, too.
A Holistic Approach.
Your Professional Coach. And Your Personal Growth Coach.
This is not just a photography coaching. It’s a deep dive into quickly going big. Focusing not only on your photography, but on personal-growth and mindset resets to get you focused, moving, and thriving. It’s not just camera settings, it’s focused on ALL parts of building a successful career and getting your ass in gear. It’s about getting the best of of anyone who steps in front of your camera. And getting the best out of yourself.

Giving You The Right Creative & Business Tools
It’s not enough to do what you love. You must nurture your love with mastery of the craft. This is how you awaken your talent. You must also master the business skills, marketing techniques and work ethic that is the other cornerstone of success. But you must also end self-limiting beliefs, which often involves a mindset reset. This is how you turn your photography into a successful, enjoyable and lucrative career.
