Without sounding like a total cheesy idiot — the Collective really is so much more than online photography education…it’s a community. It’s why not only will you learn from me through videos, but we'll have guest instructors, group chats, live demos, lesson workbooks, downloadable freebies and an active Facebook group to connect with each other daily.
Last year, I launched the first-ever Family Bootcamp with 35 students. They ranged from total beginners to seasoned photographers with over a decade of experience. What happened just a few weeks into the course blew me away.
The transformations were incredible. From graded assignments to weekly video office hours, from step-by-step instructional videos to personalized feedback, I saw growth in ways I’d never witnessed in 15 years of teaching in-person workshops.
the live course or the go-at-your-own pace!
Over the past six years, The Collective has been a game-changer for thousands of photographers, offering invaluable monthly education to help create stunning portraits. But for those of you ready to push further and achieve even greater results, I’ve designed something truly transformative.
The 60-Day Online Newborn Bootcamp combines the best of my Collective videos with an immersive, hands-on approach to online learning. This program blurs the lines between traditional workshops and virtual education, giving you the tools, guidance, and accountability to elevate your newborn photography.
In 2023, I launched my very first online mentoring video calls and all I can say is I wish I started SOONER!
I've loved getting to know photographers from all over the world. I've seen so much growth by helping them with studio layouts, natural and studio lighting, location scouting, editing and more. It's been so much fun to connect (and usually run way over our allotted time!) with other photographers and watch how much a couple of phone calls can really end up being a total game changer!
Unlike other presets that are designed to "correct" your images, these are meant to enhance what you’ve already captured. They’re perfect for photographers who understand lighting—whether you’re shooting outside in bright sun or soft clouds, using studio lighting, or working with natural light from a window or LED lights.
These presets will take the colors and tones already present in your photos and elevate them, resulting in rich, vibrant hues that will keep your work feeling timeless for years to come.
These Prep Packets are here to take the guesswork out of communicating with your clients. Inside, you’ll find exactly what you need to create a seamless and stress-free experience for your sessions. I’ve also included tips and tricks to help you customize these guides, keeping them authentic to your brand and voice.
What’s included? These easy-to-read guides cover everything from warm welcome paragraphs and pre-session instructions to detailed "what to expect" info for the session — all the way down to a thoughtful thank-you page.
The FREE Inclusive Photographers Library focuses on my heart's work; educating photographers on how to be inclusive when photographing individuals and families with different abilities, special needs, and who are medically fragile. This resource relies solely on the photographers, videographers, volunteers, and families who donated their time and materials for any photographer to learn from anywhere at anytime.
My hope is that this free Library will not only change the way photographers approach photographing families and individuals with disabilities or medical needs, but will also be a source for those families to find and book a photographer who has taken the time to educate themselves on ALL kinds of families.
Most of my videos in the Collective are going to be focused on either newborns, families or lighting...with a huge emphasis on lighting! Watch these sneak peeks to get a sense of the kind of education is waiting for you immediately when you join!
These are just the tip of the iceberg...we have over a hundred videos with new ones dropping every month!
