Hey, Photographers!
Raise your hand if...
If that’s you, absolutely no shame,
but you’re going to want to keep reading.
YOU’VE GOOGLED, YOUTUBED, $200-COURSED YOUR WAY TO WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR BIZ.
We love the community of bootstrapping photographers out there because we’ve BEEN THERE. We really respect people like YOU who have what it takes to seek, find, and apply the skills that are needed to start a business and see some traction.
Here's what we also know:
You’re at the point where your business questions may no longer be Google-able. Much to all of our disappointment, we can’t “ask AI” what the next right business move is to get us to that “better” life we’re dreaming of. And even those nicely-packaged and amazingly-marketed courses aren’t giving you the answers you need.
GUIDANCE will get you to places GOOGLE can’t comprehend
But with an abundance of information comes a crap ton of options.
With a crap ton of options comes a lot of possibility, plenty of distraction, but not a lot of focus or direction.
In fact, we’ve come to believe that options are often the worst enemy of direction.
So, what if the key to your next level of success in business wasn’t knowing more but rather someone knowing YOU more?
Isn’t it SO cool that our world gives us access to all the information that we could ever want?
So, what comes after Googling?
From our personal experience, we’ve learned
Don’t worry, we’re not suggesting therapy or anything (although, big fans). No, we’re suggesting finding a mentor who’s been where you want to go. Once you find them, they can help you establish a shorter path to running the photography business you dream of instead of maintaining the one you feel stuck inside of right now.
Oh, and did we mention we’d really love to be those mentors for ya?
So, what if the key to your next level of success in business wasn’t knowing more but rather someone knowing YOU more?
Growth is simply the result of heading consistently in the direction you want to go.
If you’re nodding and saying, “Yep that’s exactly what I need”
We can’t wait to hear from you.
And if you really WANT GROWTH in your business?

SO, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THIS IS YOUR NEXT RIGHT STEP?
We get it. There’s a lot competing for your attention and “investment” in the business space. Almost everyone will try to sell you on why their thing is right for you, but we’d rather lead you to why YOU are right for this next step. So here are a few things you might be feeling if it’s time to move into a space with more personalized guidance than packaged processes.
You’ve done the work of figuring out how to provide a service people will pay for.
This is where Google and YouTube and Course University come into play, right? You’ve done the challenging, but really rewarding work of figuring out how to use your camera and create something absolutely priceless for your clients. Unfortunately, basic skills can only get you so far, and that whole “my work speaks for itself” is a big ol’ myth. There is a way that we can take that skill you’ve learned and turn it into something BIG. Some simple, but focused steps forward can get you there.
You’ve found a way to get paid.
Maybe you found a YouTube video that showed you how to send an invoice. Maybe you’re rocking it with the basics in HoneyBook or Dubsado. Maybe you’re charging people via Venmo (this is not what we recommend). No matter where you are in your “getting paid” journey, there’s a way to streamline this process and make it easier and more reliable for both you and your clients (and there’s a way to protect yourself in the midst of it all, too).
You’re “online” but you still need a website or you DESPERATELY need a better website.
For some photographers, their business runs primarily on social media and that whole website thing is really just checking a box. Or maybe you haven’t even had time to get your website going yet. Either way, your website has the potential to be a huge asset that takes a lot off of your business plate, and can even call in more of the right people while you’re doing anything other than telling people what you do and how many images come in a package 24/7.

“My business growth is a little stuck. Things feel stagnant, and I’m not sure where to go next.”
“My business is doing well, but I’m into optimizing things to do even better.”
If this is where you’re finding yourself, you are not alone! In fact, most business owners hit the point where their own hustle taps out as the key to growth. Business can truly grow in a million different ways, so once you hit a plateau, the real key is ESTABLISHING DIRECTION, and then committing completely only to actions that’ll move you in the direction you choose. Remember how we said “growth is simply consistent movement in one direction”? This is what we find most people need help and accountability for.
If you’ve created something that’s growing consistently, your worst enemy JUST MIGHT be “ideas” and “possibilities” to continue to grow things. Business growth doesn’t slow down from focused pursuits, but rather when we break up our time and energy and momentum by pursuing too many things, or wasting too much time figuring out what’s next. That’s why having a coach who can help you define your unique goals and hold you to your path toward them will really be priceless as your next step.
feels most
Which of these feels most like you?
If you’re ready to move into the support you need to define and reach your big, bold goals, there’s just one more thing you’ve gotta know.
Rather than trying to fit every photographer into a single box (or “coaching container” like the gurus tend to call it), we have different choices tailored to fit photographers who need varied levels of support to reach their goals.
If your vision of SUCCESS is unique your COACHING should be, too

Getting ghosted to overbooked!
- summer
I was at a crossroad where I wanted to (finally!) charge prices that reflected my experience and skill level, but was suffering from a disconnect between inquiry and booking.
I reached out for mentorship and couldn't be happier with how this guidance shaped my business!
Within 2 weeks of tweaking and implementing the feedback, I EASILY booked 7 WEDDINGS! 6 months later, I'm now easily booking next year’s weddings and turning away dates this year because I am overbooked!”
“Six months ago, I had a couple ready to sign, when they abruptly BACKED OUT!
“Joy and Ben were amazing! They made our whole wedding planning process so effortless, from the engagement session to the wedding day. They were energetic, organized, professional, and so laid back. We couldn't have asked for a better photography team to share
our wedding day with!”
- Alexa & charles
“WE COULDN’T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM.”
“Joy and Ben are AMAZING! We hired them for our wedding day in Sedona and they did such an amazing job. All of our guests loved them and I received so many compliments on how
professional and kind they were to everyone. Not to mention, our pictures were incredible. They captured our day so Perfectly!”
- allisa & nick
“JOY AND BEN ARE AMAZING!”
“I cannot express in words how amazing Joy and Ben are! They captured our wedding day perfectly, and notably the “wedding moments” but special in between ones we didn’t think of.
- Abbey & CJ
“THEY CAPTURED OUR DAY PERFECTLY.”
“We had such an amazing time working with them and were amazed at the results. We loved working with Ben and Joy so much that we had them photograph our wedding! They were there for us every step of the way leading up to our Big Day!"
- Annie & Connor
“We loved working with Ben and Joy so much.”
“We ended up hiking up Cathedral Rock and getting some of the most stunning pictures I have seen. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Joy and Ben were very sweet, patient and put both of us at ease. We had a lot of fun and got the best pictures!"
- Jackie & jacob
“My fiancé and I had an amazing experience.”

each coaching session is two hours.
And right now? You’ve got an opportunity to continue with building a business that can not only capture life, but can remind people of it for years to come.
You’ve also got an opportunity to keep taking the slow + confusing road on your own, or to make the most of your days by investing in the ability to have someone who’s already made the mistakes help you leap over and blow right past them in your own pursuit of better.
Now, we’re not gonna sugarcoat it. Going faster doesn’t necessarily mean skipping that whole “failure” thing. Things won’t always go exactly the way you expect them to, but if you can have someone in your corner to stay focused on what you really want and what we know will get you there, those really tough moments in life and biz will never go wasted.
Life doesn’t
give you re-dos, it presents you with opportunities.
- Being paralyzed by possibility overwhelm
- Piecing together tactics that you’re not even sure will work
- Taking action and not seeing results
- Your only option being “hustle more” if you want to make more
- Seeing seemingly everyone reach their potential but you
If you answered “yes” to at least 3 of the 5 above, there’s a good chance that you’re REALLY READY for coaching, and the hardest part is simply deciding fully to say YES. We’ll be right next to you to help you with the rest.
