Begin learning and growing as a professional photographer

Straight paths are fictions for most people (and perhaps even more so for photographers), and not the awesome kind – but more typically the predictable and uninteresting kind. After having spent just over a year in grad-school to earn a Master’s in Education and my teaching credential I learned many things – about teaching, learning, and about myself. The most fundamental lesson being that at the end of the day, if you want to be happy, alive and passionate about life, you need to love what you do. Photography, with all it’s technicality, nuance and subtlety is what gives me all of the above.

I’ve just completed a list of learning options designed to help you learn and grow towards becoming a full-time, self-sustaining professional photographer. Complete the simple form below to:

  • Request a comprehensive web-site review designed to improve the visibility, appeal and function of your website
  • Schedule an online chat to identify your areas of growth, your goals, and how to work towards achieving them
  • Request to come on a Ride-along as a non-shooting assistant on a wedding or elopement I’ve booked
  • And even to schedule a full-on, custom-tailored styled shoot for yourself (and a friend if you like!)

*You must be at least 18 to participate in mentoring options, however mentoring may be possible with parental consent.
Where can I see some of your work?
