Photo Coaching (Beginner-Friendly, 1:1)

If you’ve ever thought, “I have a nice camera… and I still don’t know what I’m doing,” this is for you. Photo coaching is hands-on, practical, and built around how you actually like to shoot.

No jargon. No pressure. Just a clear path forward.

Start Here: Free Intake Consult

Free Photo Coaching Intake Consult (Google Meet | 30 minutes) — $0

A quick, low-pressure call to figure out what you want to learn, what you’re shooting with, and which option will help you most.

Good for: “I don’t even know what to ask for yet.”

Next step: Book the free intake consult.

Photo Coaching Sessions + Packages

Camera Setup + Confidence (In person | 75 minutes)

$125

This is the “help me feel steady” session. We’ll get your camera settings untangled and practice the basics so you can stop guessing.

Good for: understanding aperture/shutter speed/ISO, focus settings, getting sharp photos, and feeling more confident using your camera.

How it works: Intake consult first, then we’ll confirm a meetup location and what you want to practice.

Field Session Deep Fix (In person | 2 hours)

$250

More time, more real-world practice. We’ll work through the tricky stuff that doesn’t click in a quick session—light, motion, focus, and making decisions on the fly.

Good for: shooting in changing light, action/kids/pets, indoor low light, and building repeatable habits.

How it works: Intake consult first, then we’ll choose a location that matches your goals.

Photography Starter Series (3 × 90 minutes)

$425

A short series for momentum. We’ll build skills step-by-step, with time to practice between sessions and come back with real questions.

Good for: you want more than a one-time session and you learn best with a little structure.

Photography Foundations (5 × 90 minutes)

$625

A deeper foundation: camera control + light + focus + composition, with enough time to practice, troubleshoot, and actually make it stick.

Good for: you want a start-to-finish base you can use for years (and fewer “why didn’t this work?” moments).
