This month inside the Collective!

Whitley Ny'kole

We're super stoked to jump into September with a fresh guest feature all the way from South Carolina, introducing Whitley Ny'Kole!

Whitley is a newborn photographer specializing in nude and neutral set designs. In this video she will teach us why understanding your clients undertones matter when working with neutral styling. She will show you how to properly pick the correct shades and hues of creams / earth tones for each unique client.

Join us for this in-depth video as Whitley styles not one, but two adorable newborns and captures a stunning momma portrait in this month's feature! 

I'm Rachel your regular monthly teacher! I live in the good old heart of Bro0kville, IN with my husband, Nick and our little trio of children, Brynn, Nicholas and Josie. I'm always cold, nearly always barefoot, passionate about newborn safety, oversized t-shirts and helping others. I hate cancer, working out and cucumbers (but pickles are cool).

In 2007, I was a stay at home mom who had a knack for using my Konica Minolta camera to take photos of my two (now 3) young children. That hobby slowly bloomed into a small photography business and I took up my first ever client via Craigslist in the spring of 2008. Ten years later, my passion to help other photographers turn hobbies into businesses and businesses into successful careers has been the driving force in creating this industry’s top source of online education. 

Each month you'll be seeing me in a brand new video. My videos- while primarily focused on newborns and families, will cover a wide range of topics like posing, studio light, natural light, location, editing, styling and so much more. Plus, I'll be diving in to more eclectic styles from time to time to show you guys how I keep my work developing. All of my teaching videos
 (30+ and counting ) for the Collective stay available inside your membership for as long as you are an active member,  as well as guest videos!

What makes the Collective

Different

Simply put...EVERYTHING makes this program different, but our favorite part is the adaptive way we serve up fresh content each month. Most online courses will start you at the beginning of the program filmed years ago, leaving you with an ever-evolving gap between you and your peers in this industry. 

Having relevant content is a huge problem in the online education world, which is why so many photographers will take course after course and still feel like they are two steps behind. 

Unlike most online courses, the Collective is filmed a couple of months before the release dates with the most current methods trending in the industry instead of starting at you at square one. Inside the Collective you will still have backlog access to all of my recent teachings so you can brush up on past methods while also getting the most current released education for each new month freshly filmed. 

The Collective strives to get you the results and skills that are happening in the NOW! Not only from one teacher's perspective but from dozens of leading and innovative photographers around the world!  Consider this your time machine to a blooming career!
