An expert of boutique photography business education, lover of all things Bravo & spicy foods, Momma to a 10 year old silly, stinky, hilarious boys’ boy, daughter & wife to Police Officers, and forever a curiously ambitious woman... a rebel if you will.

MORE ABOUT ME
"I fully believe that every single person in this industry has the right to make an incredible income and be the bread winner in their family."
My business jam is just that... BUSINESS. The money, the legal, the formulas, the psychology. It all makes me so freaking hype and I start to get all loud and excited... just ask the thousands of photographers and business owners I've taught in the past decade. I start to yell and talk really fast (and I may even spit a little - but that's what happens when you sit in the splash zone at a conference) when I preach on something I love.
I fully believe that every single person in this industry has the right to make an incredible income and be the bread winner in their family. I've done it... I went from making $36,000 a year in law enforcement to seven figures y'all. I've driven that struggle bus and I got off it. I took a budding business and created the dream career that I never thought I'd have and as clichè as it may sound, I can teach you how to get off the struggle bus too. That's what being subscribed to this newsletter is all about. I'm going to send you education, resources, tools, and methods to GET OFF THAT BUS. So, let's freaking do this! Are you ready?!?
"We can choose to chase the changes in our industry or we can choose to BE the changes. I, personally, refuse to chase."

WHY
my
In my darkest hours, my love for photography was born. In 2009, along with the birth of my beautiful son, came a massive struggle with Post Partum Depression. During my maternity leave, I wanted to better document Web’s life so my husband bought me my my very first DSLR. I started becoming interested in how to take better pictures of him and dove off the deep end into tons of photography forums, tutorials, on-line classes and everything in between. When I started posting his pictures on Facebook, a lot of my friends began to ask me if I would take photos of their children and families. Everything exploded from there.
