Before joining, my average invoice was close to $3K. I was lonely, sitting in my basement every day, hoping that the random work I was doing was going to bring in some amazing job that was going to fix everything.
In the 6 months, I have gone from 2 clients to 10 clients. My average has now raised to $5K, with a few of my invoices reaching 5 figures!
I do want to mention, though, that this program is not a magic pill--there are consistent homework assignments, videos to watch, worksheets we can go through, and additional opportunities that can be taken advantage of. That being said, applying myself to the program and pushing myself to be involved has made ALL the difference for me in my first year running my own shindig. I'm going to be unstoppable this year!!

Participating in this program has been a real game changer, revealing a vast community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for photography and also aspire to turn it into a sustainable livelihood.
What sets this program apart is its systematic approach to transforming artistic passion into a viable business venture. Through step-by-step guidance, essential tools, and a supportive community, it provides a roadmap for achieving one's entrepreneurial aspirations in the realm of photography.
Within six months of the program, I experienced a notable surge in paid creative opportunities, securing a nine-month retainer with a new client for ongoing social media content and specialized shoots, alongside landing my first high-value project exceeding the 5K mark for a discerning client within my niche.

I loved that you actually care about the people in your program, and are willing to spend your valuable time with me when I was struggling with pricing, how to position, and of course talking over leads with me.
I am proud to say I am happy and confident with what I charge now because I know I am worth it with my quality of work (thanks to you!). Especially transitioning from wedding photography, pricing was a tough thing to navigate in the commercial world.
This was the best program I’ve been through considering the cost. I can confidently say this was worth every penny. I’ve spent tens of thousands on courses over the last decade.. this one was legit.

"It's been super helpful to have access to his toolbox and his tried and true ways of really attracting high-paying clients."

I’m here to help you break the walls that might be holding you back from achieving a 6-figure photography business.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve been able to work with many small and big-budget clients that have given me an opportunity to produce strategic photo and video content for them. Through that, I’ve experienced everything that comes with starting and running a business.
Becoming a husband, and then a dad, while trying to build a photography business, has not been an easy walk in the park. I became a freelance business coach to share that with the right mindset, business framework, and community, you can grow revenue and profit while doing what you love.

I’m excited to
