Photography Business Consulting & Training
You're creative and you've got a talent for taking beautiful images...that's why you went into business for yourself as a photographer, right?
So, let's be honest with each other here... how much time do you spend behind the camera these days compared to how much you THOUGHT you'd be spending when you decided to start your own photography business?
Hi! I'm Deb...
If you're not spending as much time behind the camera as you'd like, and you feel like the business side of your business is crushing you, it's probably time to give me a call.
With thirty years in the business world and over a decade as a photographer, I have acquired a set of skills that can really help you get the business side of your business on track, and help you start to live the life you envisioned when you decided you wanted to be a creative entrepreneur and start your own business. Remember those days?
While your vision from those early days might seem far off and unattainable, I assure you there is light at the end of that tunnel, and I would love to be the one to help you uncover it.
From accounting and operations to marketing and sales, I can be the mentor, cheerleader, and accountability partner you need to take your business to the next level and help you bridge the gap between your life as a creative and a business owner.
To find out what that might look like for you and your business, I'd love to chat with you.
Today's the Day!
Let's connect and see how I can help!
Why should you work with me?
I have a passion for small business and photographers and light up at the prospect of helping small business owners find financial success while pursuing their creative dreams. Years ago when I started my own photography business, I quickly realized that many photographers were incredibly creative and talented, but lacked confidence and the business skills required to help them be successful. I vowed that once I had the time and opportunity, I would help other photographers level up their business skills to match their creative talents.
You know that photographer whose work isn't as good as yours, but they're more successful financially? It likely comes down to business skills.
A good business person can be successful without incredible creative talent, but someone with incredible creative talent won't be nearly as successful without great business skills. My goal is to help photographers bridge that gap, and gain the personal and financial success they desire.
But my passion and desire alone isn't all I bring to the table. I've had an almost thirty year career in business outside of the photography industry, and more than a decade as a photographer and small business owner myself. I have done the things you're doing, seen the things you're seeing, and can bring a fresh outside perspective to help you achieve your goals and dreams.
What do you have to lose by hopping on a call with me to see if I'm the right fit for you? Nothing! Let's schedule that call today.
Coaching & Consulting
Is there a specific area of your business that you need help with?
Do you need an outside perspective to help you evaluate your operations and see how you might change things up to achieve greater success?
Whether you're just starting out in business and need some direction, or have been in business a long time and need something to excite you again...
spending some time with me to rediscover and reinvigorate your business may be just what you need.
Sometimes we're too close to our own businesses to see the things we're doing that are standing in the way of our success.
We'll talk about where you are today, where you want to go and why. We'll find out what makes you unique so we can leverage that to help you accomplish your goals. We'll make sure you're targeting your ideal clients, and help you identify where your time is best spent, as well as help you find ways to automate or outsource things that you shouldn't be doing personally. We'll design and develop an implementation plan, help you implement the plan, and follow up to make sure you're staying on track and meeting your goals.

Will we be a good match?
Do you truly want to make a change in your life and business, and just don't know how?
I want to work with you if you are committed to growth and forward movement, but know you need some help to get there.
If you are willing to learn and make changes, I will give you everything I've got. But if you phone it in and aren't committed to doing the work, I'm not the right fit for you.
I would rather work with 5 people who really want to change and grow than 100 people who are just going through the motions.
Are you ready to get started?
