If you have aspirations of learning photography but are uncertain about how to begin, or if you are prepared to enhance your photography abilities, I am here to support and encourage you.
I built my photography business from scratch and I am eager to impart my journey with you, sharing the knowledge I have gained. Whether you seek discussions on photography or wish to master capturing natural, emotion-filled images, I am here to support you.
If you have specific questions or topics you are eager to learn more about, or if you reside in another state, this service is tailored for you. Simply provide me with your questions in advance, and we can schedule a 30-minute FaceTime or phone call to discuss them in detail.
We will arrange a meeting at a nearby coffee shop, where you can freely inquire about anything you wish to know more about. Don't forget to bring your cameras and laptops, as we can also address any queries you have regarding shooting, editing, or workflow.
If you have a grasp of photography fundamentals and want to enhance your sessions and shooting abilities, this choice is perfect for you. You can arrange a session of your preference, such as family or couples, and I will be present to provide guidance and address any queries you may have throughout the process.
The whole process entails initial meetings, preparations, shadowing, leading, assisting, and final review. Initially, we will conduct two 1-hour meetings at a local coffee shop to discuss your interests and set the stage for the photo shoot. This will be followed by a session where you can observe my work, then take the lead with my guidance. Subsequently, we will meet for another hour to review workflow, culling, editing, and the overall session experience, addressing any queries you may have.
