TRust me...
Shooting five nights a week,
editing until 1 AM and having
pennies to show for it is no way to live

Actually, having more than pennies to show for it still doesn't make it
justifiable. Chances are you got into this photography thing because
you loved it, right? And then there was this added benefit of
flexibility... cha-ching! And now suddenly your life looks nothing like
you envisioned. Work life balance sounds like a pipe dream, and you
feel like there's never enough time to do all of the things. And to be
honest, there's no amount of money that could make this hustle
worth it.

LISTEN. I WAS ONCE YOU.
Five years ago I was a new
mom, overwhelmed and had
barely anything monetary to
show for the exhaustion

While I've been a photographer for nearly a decade now, I
didn't make a real go for it until after my oldest son was
born. I also had a full time job. Great timing, right? Not so
much.
Staying up way too late, taking on far too many sessions and
having barely any income to show for it was the story of my
life. Spending real time with my family was not a reality for
me at that point.

Suffice it to say, I've
learned a lot over the past
five years, and if I could
go back, I'd do a lot of
things differently.
Here’s the thing though - you can learn from my mistakes.
You can do things the right way from whatever point you’re
at right now. And it’ll save you so much time and get you
where you want to be both financially and from a work life
balance perspective SO much more quickly.

HEY THERE, MOM! I SEE YOU!
Thinking about getting behind
the camera, too?
Thinking about getting behind
the camera, too?
You work so hard to take care of ALL of the things.
You're trying to build (or even START!) a sustainable
photography business while also maintaining all of the
household tasks and take care of your children, and let's be
honest - it's overwhelming.
You deserve a life and a business that fit seamlessly
together that allow you to make more money while also
enjoying time with your family.
