Mentor Sessions
for kindhearted creatives
one-on-one EDUCATION for photographers:
01. Storytelling with grit
For the folks who don’t mind a little dirt under the nails, dust on their boots, or pushing their creative limits. As my only in-person mentorship option, I wanted to create something truly aligned with my heart and values that I can share with you.
Storytelling with Grit is for anyone who wants to tell stories steeped in western lifestyle/cowboy culture. Using my local connections and experience photographing western imagery in West Texas, we will collaborate on a vision to create a session perfect for upleveling your portfolio. Want to include horses? Let’s do it. Need help with locations or building a vision board? I’ve got you. Here’s what you can expect from a Storytelling with Grit Mentor Session:
(001) Onboarding Consult Call. To better understand your vision & goals
(002) Vision Board Building. Tailored to the specific market you want to focus on
(003) Pre-Shoot Check-in Call. Let’s finalize your gear selects and any other session details before you come to West Texas
(004) Live Session. A hybrid of a shadow session & shoot of your own. Watch me direct the clients, learn how to photograph horses and livestock, then step in and direct the session yourself
(005) Editing Previews Post-shoot previews editing. Let’s edit together and you can ask any final questions that you have before we wrap our time together
(+++) Optional Add-On: Portfolio Feedback. After you finish editing your photos from the session, we hop on a Zoom call and go through all of the photos together for a portfolio/gallery review.

02. Virtual Mentor Session
Sometimes you just need someone on your team to help you navigate the good and the ugly, give you the tough love and honest feedback, and shine a light on the things that make you special that you may feel are ordinary or not worth showcasing. The virtual mentor session is perfect if you have a small number of specific questions you need answered, feel stuck in a rut, or have a problem you need help troubleshooting. From single sessions to 6-month accountability-focused sessions, I have options suited to different budgets and needs. Examples of topics I’ve covered on calls before: branding, website, copywriting, goal-setting, portfolio review.
— $777 for 1.5 hours or 2 sessions for $1500 or 6-month accountability pack for $500/month
03. Portfolio review
This option is specifically for wedding, elopement, and portrait photographers looking to get a fresh set of eyes on their full galleries and provide feedback of what’s working and potential areas of growth. From editing feedback, to composition and cropping, this call will help you find new ways to uplevel your galleries and see your photos from a different perspective. We will spend our 1.5 hours together on a shared screen Zoom call going through 2-3 galleries of yours.
