Mentoring

I didn’t get to where I am as a photographer without help; that’s why I want to pass along what I have learned to others through 1-on-1 conversations.

Most of what I learned about about lighting I learned through years of experimentation, so I want to help you speed that process up through coaching!

Before our session

I want to have a full understanding of where you are coming from and what you’re hoping to learn or gain from the coaching experience. So I will send you a questionnaire beforehand and we’ll exchange emails and we will go from there!

How we will connect

I will send you a Zoom link.
