You need a mentor in your corner and a business that finally works for you.
ON YOUR TERMS
Imagine a photography business where you...
Only shoot a few times a month — and don't feel burnt out
Know your offers, pricing, and exactly who you're here to serve
Have simple systems running in the background so you can breathe
Market yourself with confidence (without awkward discounts or chasing likes on Instagram)
Get personal feedback so you're never left swirling, second-guessing, or stuck in Canva at midnight
Not quite there yet? You're not the only one.

Most of the photographers I work with didn't believe it was possible either — until they had the right support.

ON YOUR TERMS
Imagine if your business let you...
Shoot just a few times a month - without burnout
Know your offers, pricing, and who you're here to serve
Have systems quietly running so you can breathe again
Put yourself (and your work) out there with confidence
Most photographers I worl with didn't think this was possible either - until they had the right support
You don't need another course sitting in your inbox, making you feel guilty. What you need is real strategy, structure, and a Mentor who actually knows you.
Not more "DIY and hope for the best."
Not another PDF you'll forget to open.
Not some cookie-cutter template that looks like everyone else
 

This is small group mentoring, not a faceless login.

You'll get personal reviews, weekly calls, and the exact business systems implemented to back you up.

Inside Academy Plus, you'll never be left wondering "Am I doing this right?" — because you'll always have someone (me 👋) to ask.

You don't need another course collecting dust.
What you need is strategy, structure, and mentor who actually knows you - so you're not left wondering "Am I doing this right?"
NOT SURE IF THIS IS FOR YOU?
This is for photographers who...
Are incredible at what they do, but feel stuck in a swirl of "what now?"
Are tired of discounting their prices just to get booked
Have bought courses, tried templates, downloaded freebies—and still feel like they're guessing
Want a business that feels aligned, intentional, and doable
Crave accountability and personal guidance in a small, curated group
If you've ever opened Canva to start a post and ended up reorganising your pantry instead... I see you.

Let's shift out of the spiral and into clarity.

LEARN WITH
SOMEONE
WHO ACTUALLY
SHOWS UP for you
Not a faceless course. Not another forgotten login.

Real conversations. Real strategy. Real support.

If you're still reading, chances are this hit a nerve. Let's get on a call and talk about where you're at, what's possible, and whether Academy feels like home for you.

Not sure how much longer you can keep pushing like this?
This might be the nudge you didn't know you needed.

 

If you're:

Wavering between burning it all down or giving it one more go

Great at photography but exhausted from trying to wear all the hats

Craving structure, strategy, and someone to just tell you what works (and why it works)

Then let's talk.

 WE'LL MAP OUT WHERE YOU ARE, WHAT'S POSSIBLE AND WHETHER ACADEMY PLUS IS THE RIGHT NEXT STEP

→ This is a small group intake.
→ Only a few invites are extended per round.
→ And yes, you'll be speaking to me - not someone in a call centre with a script.

 
Still Unsure?
That's okay. You're thoughtful. You care about doing things right.
 
You want to be sure this is the right time, and the right fit.

If you're feeling the pull but have questions, book some time to chat with me.
 
We'll talk it through. No pressure, no pushiness.
 
You've got a lot of talent. You don't need to do this alone.
 
Still unsure?
That's ok.  You care about doing things right.  You don't need all the answers yet - just a conversation.
 
you've got talent.  you don't need to do this alone.

you buy the courses and you do them and nothing works.
