This mastermind will help you earn money from your photography.
Just like it did for Dyutima...
Having launched my business in the second half of the year, I’d kept a small goal of making $100 by the end of the year. Instead, with the help of strategic bidding & constructive negotiation, I was able to make a few $1,000 before the closing of the year.
- Dyutima, Photographer
Even before the end of the mastermind, I signed my biggest contract yet (close to $5,000!). I sent out an estimate breakdown + contract + what to expect. I felt confident (like never before!) to even have it all put together in writing, more professional than I’ve ever felt, and absolutely in control of the prices I was quoting.

You'll work with me to create a pricing strategy that factors in overheads and production costs to ensure you generate profits. How to create and meet your revenue goals. Plus learn from my years of experience as to how long a photography job really takes, and what type of rates to charge and when. I'll take you through why educating your clients is important and helps them to see value in you. We'll also take a detailed look at how to navigate the negotiation stage so you're not just discounting your services each time.
MODULE 2 - Image Licensing + Ownership
You'll learn the logistics behind who owns an image and why we licensing images rather than sell. I'll share my years of experience at how to powerfully educate clients on licensing and how to still land the job. We'll cover how this is different for small businesses, to magazines and larger commercial clients. You'll also learn one simple trick that can help you price your images quickly, for any situation.
MODULE 3 - Finding Work
Learn all the ways you can make money as a photographer and the key to a long-term revenue strategy. Plus I will share all the ways I make money. Both myself and a panel of 5 experts will share ways to find clients that lead to paid work, how to research and find clients. And how much free work to take on. You'll uncover how to stand out and what to say to get your foot in the door, plus why you need to have a unique selling point.
MODULE 4 - Action Planning
We'll create an action plan together that works towards your ideal and dream job, how to goal set and prioritise the tasks that will actually make a difference. You'll put all the knowledge from this course into an actionable strategy for me to review and provide feedback so you can actually get results.
MODULE 5 - Confidence + Professional Mindset
Learn what level you are at, what you really need to get started and how to find the confidence you need to sell yourself and deliver results. We'll look at how to harness a professional mindset, how to say no to work that won't get you towards your long-term goals and when you can charge more.
PLUS...
" This mastermind gave me the confidence to price my photography at a higher rate, write detailed project estimates, and market myself to a wider range of clients. I now approach each project to cover my costs, time, and usage rights for the client. I've now worked for several magazines, restaurants, and brands at double my previous rate."
- Jenn, Nashville Photographer

Within two months I was hitting my income goals. Something I'd never dreamed was possible. This mastermind gave me the confidence to increase my prices. The best thing is that clients were actually happy to see my price increase! They valued my work that much. I was so worried for so long to charge more. Now I can see I'm in control of my business.

"The big take away for me was the tools you discussed and shared with us that allowed me to reached out to potential clients and propose ideas for collaborations. My food photography was featured in 'Southern Grit'. Shortly after that I was asked to photograph a recipe that was featured in Coastal Virginia Magazine's summer issue. I am now getting repeat clients with two photo shoots with them this week."
- Susan, Pastry Chef + Food Photographer
Want to be paid what your photos are really worth?
Perfect. I’d love to take you under my wing and share my years of freelance knowledge with you.
BUT let's just check this is the right course for you!
Who it’s NOT for:
This course is not about monetising a food blog. We do cover paid blog and social posts but from the perspective of freelance photographers.
Anyone who doesn't want to sell their photography services, (it's ok to just love photography as a hobby).
We don't cover creative aspects of food photography, it's purely business based.
This course is also not for those who consider themselves top professionals.
Who it’s for:
This course covers the basics as well as builds up to higher level marketing strategies for commercial work. If you're looking to go full time or just make a little more money on the side, anyone from beginner to semi-pro can join.
Beginners to semi-pros. You don't have to have the best work or the most expensive gear. There are clients for everyone at every stage. Come and join our biz group.
Photographers who want to make lifelong connections and have people to hold them accountable, push them forward and provide advice.
