I started my business as a 17 year old senior in high school. As graduation began approaching, I had exactly one year to prove to myself and my parents that my business was successful enough to go full time instead of attending a 4-year university. In that year, I hustled hard and built a six-figure […]

Build Your Senior Photography Business

I began my business during my junior year of high school, and fell in love with photography while capturing all of my peers and their senior portraits. I built a six-figure photography business on my passion for senior clients - and now I help hundreds of photographers across the globe do the same! 

Free downloads, blog posts, YouTube videos, online courses and memberships... I have it a resource for you!
